Homes for sale in Bennekel-West Gagelbosch, Eindhoven

House prices and market figures Bennekel-West Gagelbosch, Eindhoven

The owner-occupied market in Bennekel-West Gagelbosch is limited in size, but not uninteresting. Of the 1,709 homes in the neighbourhood, only 30% are owner-occupied; the rest are rental properties, a large proportion of which are owned by housing associations. This makes the supply of owner-occupied homes in Bennekel-West Gagelbosch relatively scarce, and scarcity has an impact on price.

Over the past twelve months, 15 homes were sold, with an average sale price of €409,867. The range ran from €250,000 to €490,000, with an average living area of 96 m². This works out at a price of around €4,270 per m². The WOZ value is €310,000, which is higher than the district average of Oud-Gestel (€295,000), but clearly below the municipal average of Eindhoven (€360,000). Bennekel-West Gagelbosch is therefore in a middle segment: more affordable than the Eindhoven average, but not a bargain. The supply consists mainly of ground-level homes from the 1970s and 1980s, such as terraced houses and semi-detached houses. Apartments are also available, but less dominant. For current asking prices and availability, see the property overview at the top of this page.

Living in Bennekel-West Gagelbosch, Eindhoven

Bennekel-West Gagelbosch is a quiet, green-dominated neighbourhood in the southwest of Eindhoven, part of the district Oud-Gestel. The name Gagelbosch is no coincidence, referring to a wooded environment: the neighbourhood borders the Genneper Park, one of the larger green areas of Eindhoven with walking paths, sports fields and a petting zoo. If you want to be outdoors daily without leaving the city, you have that literally around the corner here.

The housing stock largely dates from the 1970s and 1980s and consists mainly of terraced houses and semi-detached houses with a garden. The streets are wide, there is relatively much greenery between the homes, and car traffic is limited. This gives the neighbourhood a quiet, almost village-like character, despite the centre of Eindhoven being less than five kilometres away.

For daily shopping, residents rely on the surrounding neighbourhoods, as a large supermarket directly in the neighbourhood is lacking. In nearby Bennekel-Oost and towards the Blaarthemseweg, supermarkets and small shopping strips can be found. Primary schools are available in the immediate vicinity, and for secondary education, residents depend on schools elsewhere in Eindhoven. Sports clubs and recreational facilities are well represented thanks to the proximity of the Genneper Park, where athletics and football clubs are also active.

Accessibility by car is good: via the Blaarthemseweg and the connection to the A2 and A67 motorways, the motorway network is quickly reachable. By bicycle, the city centre can be reached in about twenty minutes. Public transport is available via bus lines that run towards Eindhoven Central Station, although the frequency is limited compared to more centrally located districts. Those dependent on public transport would do well to check this in advance via the current timetable of the municipality of Eindhoven.

Residents particularly appreciate the peace, space and green surroundings. A common sentiment is that the neighbourhood is pleasant for raising children, but that the level of amenities lags somewhat. One resident aptly described it: "You live here quietly and green, but for a night out or a good supermarket, you still have to get in the car." On the neighbourhood main page of Bennekel-West Gagelbosch you will find all resident reviews, neighbourhood scores per category and more background information about life in this neighbourhood.

Compared to neighbouring communities such as Genderdal or Blaarthem, Bennekel-West Gagelbosch has a slightly more subdued character. It is not a neighbourhood that stands out for its special architecture or a bustling shopping offer, but that is not what residents are looking for here either. The combination of greenery, peace and a reasonable distance to the city attracts a specific type of resident.

Is an owner-occupied home in Bennekel-West Gagelbosch right for you?

Based on the demographic composition, Bennekel-West Gagelbosch is most attractive for families and forty-somethings seeking peace and space without living too far from Eindhoven. The largest age group is 25 to 45 years, followed by 45 to 65 years and a relatively large group of 65-plussers (875 people). First-time buyers can find something here in the lower segment, but supply is limited and competition for popular properties can increase. With an average sale price of nearly €410,000, overbidding in certain segments is realistic. If you want to be flexible or first get to know the neighbourhood, you can also look at the rental properties in Bennekel-West Gagelbosch as an intermediate step.
