Living in Agnetendal, Valkenswaard
Agnetendal is a quiet, predominantly green residential neighbourhood on the south-west side of Valkenswaard. The neighbourhood takes its name from the Agnetenkerk that once stood there and has a distinct residential character: wide streets, many detached houses and semi-detached houses, interspersed with terraced houses from the 1960s and 1970s. It is not a neighbourhood where you go out for a drink in the evening, but a place where people stay for a long time. This is also reflected in the figures: the largest age group consists of 45- to 65-year-olds (500 people), followed by those aged 65 and over (410). Families with children are the most common household type (310 households), and 44% of residents are married. Agnetendal thus has a stable, mature population profile.
Facilities in the neighbourhood
You can do your daily shopping quickly: the Jumbo on Leenderweg and the Albert Heijn in the centre of Valkenswaard are within cycling distance. The centre of Valkenswaard, with shops, restaurants and the weekly market on Wilhelminaplein, is less than two kilometres from Agnetendal. For school-age children, there are primary schools in the immediate vicinity, such as De Belleman primary school and various other schools in the centre of Valkenswaard. Secondary education is available at Pius X College and Kempenhaeghe in the region. For sports, the neighbourhood offers access to various clubs, including football club RKVV Valkenswaard and tennis clubs in the area. The Leenderbos and the Groote Heide are a short bike ride away, making Agnetendal attractive for those who enjoy the outdoors.
Accessibility
Agnetendal is easily accessible by car. Via the N69 you can reach Eindhoven in about twenty minutes, and the connection to the A2 towards The Hague or Maastricht is quickly made. Eindhoven Airport is about a fifteen-minute drive away. Public transport is more limited: Valkenswaard does not have its own train station, but bus line 18 connects the centre of Valkenswaard with Eindhoven station. The travel time by bus is about 30 to 40 minutes. By bike, the centre of Valkenswaard can be reached in five to ten minutes via well-maintained cycle paths. Parking in Agnetendal itself is usually not a problem: most homes have a driveway or garage, and there is plenty of space for visitors on the streets.
Atmosphere and resident reviews
Residents particularly appreciate Agnetendal for its tranquillity and green surroundings. On the Agnetendal neighbourhood page you can read what people themselves write about living here. One resident describes the neighbourhood as: "A quiet, neat neighbourhood where you know your neighbours and the children can play outside. Not much going on, but that's exactly what I was looking for." Criticisms sometimes focus on the limited walking distance to amenities for those without a car, and on the fact that rental housing supply is scarce. Anyone looking for a rental home in Agnetendal needs to be patient.
For comparison: neighbouring neighbourhoods such as De Belleman and Schepelweijen have a similarly quiet character, but partly have a slightly younger population structure. Dommelen is also a popular choice for those who want to live in the green outskirts of Valkenswaard, with its own village character that differs from Agnetendal.
Is renting in Agnetendal right for you?
Agnetendal is most suitable for families and people in the 40-plus life stage who value peace, space and greenery. Starters and students will find less connection here: the supply of rental properties in Agnetendal is limited, and the free-sector rental prices averaging €1,545 per month are steep. Social housing is managed by a housing association, but waiting lists in the Valkenswaard region are long. Register as early as possible with Wooniezie or another active housing association in the region. If you are still considering renting a home in Agnetendal, it is wise to respond quickly to new listings: the free market is thin here. Also check the supply of homes for sale in Agnetendal as an alternative, because 60% of homes are for sale. The average income in Agnetendal is €33,200 per year, slightly below the municipal average of €36,600, indicating that the neighbourhood is not exclusively inhabited by higher incomes. Nevertheless, renting an apartment in Agnetendal in the free sector requires a substantial budget.
