Homes for sale in Akert, Geldrop-Mierlo

House prices and market figures for Akert, Geldrop-Mierlo

The owner-occupied market in Akert is relatively small in size, but that makes the figures all the more interesting. Of the 1,212 homes in the neighbourhood, 44% are owner-occupied, the remaining 56% are rental properties, a large proportion of which are owned by a housing association. This partly explains the average WOZ value of €280,000, which is noticeably lower than the district average for Geldrop (€359,000) and the municipal average for Geldrop-Mierlo (€379,000). However, the actual sale prices tell a different story: in the past twelve months, 9 homes were sold at an average purchase price of €613,000, with a range from €395,000 to as much as €1,200,000. With an average living area of 128 m², this works out at around €4,789 per square metre. This spread suggests that both spacious terraced houses and detached villas change hands in Akert. The number of transactions is low, which makes the market somewhat unpredictable.

Living in Akert, Geldrop-Mierlo

Akert is a quiet residential neighbourhood on the southern edge of Geldrop, nestled between greenery and well-connected main roads. The neighbourhood has a mixed character: you will find terraced houses and semi-detached homes from the 1970s and 1980s alongside some larger detached houses, particularly towards the edges of the neighbourhood. This also explains the wide spread in sale prices. The atmosphere is predominantly calm and residential, with little commercial activity or hospitality venues on the streets themselves.

For daily shopping, you hardly need to leave Akert. The centre of Geldrop, with supermarkets, shops and eateries, is within walking distance or a short bike ride.

Around the neighbourhood there are green recreational areas, although the greenery category scores a 7.3, slightly lower than other categories in resident ratings. For more extensive nature, you can quickly head to the Mierlose Heide or the Strabrechtse Heide, both reachable within a few minutes by car.
