Steenakkers, Gilze en Rijen
NeighbourhoodThis detached house on Wethouder van den Wildenbergstraat sits on a generous plot of 2,352 m², a real rarity. The home itself is compact at 74 m² and dates from 1954, with an energy label G, so expect high heating costs. At €315,000, the asking price is 54% below the neighbourhood average of €683,944, which is keen given the plot size. For context, detached houses in Gilze en Rijen typically command higher prices.
Steenakkers is a quiet, green neighbourhood with mostly single-family homes (96%) and a mix of ages. One resident describes it as a "Nice cosy neighbourhood" with "nice houses, friendly neighbours and lots of greenery", though they note the paving stones are uneven.

For groceries, Jumbo is just around the corner, and PLUS is a ten-minute walk away. Two primary schools are within a couple of streets away: Openbare basisschool De Wildschut and Kindcentrum Pinokkio & De Bolster. The municipality Gilze en Rijen offers further amenities like a restaurant 500 m away and a library 1 km away.
At the time of writing, the home is listed via KIN Makelaars Gilze & Rijen and also appears on Funda, so it's available through several channels.

Nice houses, friendly neighbours and lots of greenery. Only the paving stones are all crooked and uneven, making it a tripping hazard. Otherwise a nice neighbourhood with fun events.

About Wethouder van den Wildenbergstraat 74, Gilze
The asking price of €315,000 is 54% below the neighbourhood average of €683,944, but the house is also much smaller (74 m² vs 182 m² average) and has an energy label G. Given the large plot, the price is on the keen side, but you'll need to factor in renovation costs for the energy efficiency.
The energy label is G, the lowest rating. This means the home has poor insulation and high heating costs. In the neighbourhood, 80% of homes have label A or better, so this house is an outlier. Budget for significant improvements if you want to reduce energy bills.
The plot measures 2,352 m², which is exceptionally large for a detached house in this area. It offers plenty of space for a garden, extension, or even a separate structure, subject to planning permission. The current house footprint is modest, so the land is the main asset.
Steenakkers is a quiet, green neighbourhood with mostly single-family homes and friendly neighbours. One resident calls it a "nice cosy neighbourhood" with lots of greenery and fun events, though they mention uneven paving stones. It's a family-oriented area with a mix of ages.
The nearest train station is 6 km away. This makes the location more car-dependent, but there are bus connections in the area. The distance is manageable for occasional train travel but not ideal for a daily commute by rail.
Two primary schools are within about 1.2 km: Openbare basisschool De Wildschut and Kindcentrum Pinokkio & De Bolster. For secondary education, the nearest school is 6.2 km away, so older children will need to travel further.
Yes, Jumbo is just 440 m away, so you can walk there in about five minutes. PLUS is 1 km away, a ten-minute walk. For other options like Albert Heijn or Lidl, you'd need to drive about 4 km.
