Homes for sale in Best
Check the current supply of homes for sale in Best, including neighbourhood scores and resident reviews, and find a home that suits you.
What does a home in Best cost?
Best is a municipality where the owner-occupied market is firmly in the saddle: 71% of the more than 13,300 homes are owner-occupied, compared to 29% rented. The average WOZ value is €404,000, exactly equal to the municipal average, which is logical since the district of Best covers almost the entire municipality. If you look at the actual transaction prices of the past year, the average is considerably higher: €650,020 with an average living area of 160 m². The range is wide, from €275,000 for a compact apartment to €2,150,000 for the largest detached homes. This shows that there is something to be found for different budgets, although for a family home with a garden you now have to reckon with hefty prices. The current supply and average asking prices can be found at the top of this page.
Living in Best: village character with urban convenience
Best has over 31,000 inhabitants and feels like an independent village that benefits from its close proximity to Eindhoven. The largest group of residents is between 45 and 65 years old, but with 5,000 households with children, it is clearly also a place where families feel at home. On the district page of Best, residents give their neighbourhood an average of 7.7 out of 10. Facilities (9.0) and accessibility (8.3) score notably high. Resident Marian Damen sums it up: "It's a nice neighbourhood with school, shops, forests and a station!" She calls it a social neighbourhood where she knows many fellow residents, although she also notes parking problems because parking facilities are no longer adequate.
In terms of facilities, Best has a complete centre with, among others, an Albert Heijn, Jumbo and various specialist shops around the Dorpsplein. There are several primary schools spread across the neighbourhoods, such as in Hoge Akker and the Centrum. For secondary education, Heerbeeck College is a well-known name. For sports, you can go to football club RKSV Best Vooruit, tennis park De Sniep or swimming pool De Beemd. The Oirschotse Heide and the Wilhelminakanaal offer space for walks and bike rides, something residents rate reasonably with a 7.0 for green space.
Accessibility is one of the strongest points. Station Best is on the Eindhoven-Tilburg railway line, from which you can reach Eindhoven Centraal in ten minutes. The A2 and A58 are reachable within a few minutes, which suits commuters to Eindhoven, Den Bosch or Tilburg well. Resident LM confirms: "The neighbourhood is easily accessible by bus, train, car and bike." However, the same resident notes a caveat about occasional crime. And Maartje Hendrikx mentions that some parts of Best have a diverse but not always close-knit community, with older housing and narrow roads. The score for community spirit (6.4) is therefore the lowest mark. This varies greatly per neighbourhood: in Batadorp and Villawijk the atmosphere is different from the somewhat newer districts such as Steegsche Velden. More information about the municipality can be found on the municipality page of Best and on the municipality website.
For which buyers is Best a good choice?
With an average purchase price of €650,020 and a high proportion of family homes, Best is especially interesting for movers and dual-income earners looking for space near Eindhoven. First-time buyers with a smaller budget can look at apartments in the lower segment around €275,000, for example in neighbourhoods such as Kantonnier or Wilhelminadorp. Keep in mind additional costs: 2% transfer tax, notary and valuation costs quickly add up. Overbidding is not uncommon in Best, especially for popular family homes. If buying is out of reach, check the supply of rental homes in Best as an alternative. Seniors looking to downsize can find ground-floor options in the centre, but the supply is limited.
