Buying a house in Brummen: the housing market in 2026
Brummen is a municipality on the Veluwe in Gelderland that you might not put at the top of your list, but on closer inspection has surprisingly much to offer. The municipality has around 21,286 inhabitants, spread across the villages of Brummen, Eerbeek, Hall, Leuvenheim, Empe and Tonden. The landscape is defined by the IJssel to the west and the Veluwe forests to the east, providing a green, quiet living environment with good connections to Zutphen, Apeldoorn and Arnhem. The paper industry in Eerbeek has traditionally been an important employer, but many residents also commute to the larger cities in the region.
Of the more than 9,600 homes in the municipality, 63% are owner-occupied and 37% are rented. The average WOZ value is €372,000. In the past twelve months, 56 homes were sold at an average purchase price of €637,531, with a range of €289,500 to €1,995,000. That wide spread says a lot: you will find both affordable terraced houses and rural villas here. The average surface area of sold homes is 156 m², indicating that relatively many spacious family homes and detached houses change hands. At the top of this page you will find the current supply and the most recent market figures. Buurtje.nl bundles homes from more than 1,500 sources and adds neighbourhood scores and resident reviews, so you choose not just a house but also the right neighbourhood.
The best neighbourhoods to buy a house in Brummen
The municipality of Brummen consists of six villages, each with its own character. Whether you are looking for a village centre with amenities or peace and space in the countryside, there is always a neighbourhood that fits. Below are the main areas to look for a home to buy.
Eerbeek, industrial village with Veluwe allure
Eerbeek is the largest village after Brummen itself and owes its existence to the paper and cardboard industry. Today it is a lively village with its own shopping centre, primary schools, sports clubs and direct access to the Veluwe forests. The housing stock ranges from 1960s homes to newer family homes on the edge of the forest. Residents are particularly positive: Eerbeek scores a 10.0 from residents on Buurtje.nl, although that is based on one review. If you are looking for an affordable family home with nature around the corner, it is worth checking the supply in Eerbeek. Prices here are generally slightly below the municipal average.
Brummen village, the beating heart of the municipality
The village of Brummen is the administrative and commercial centre. Here you will find most shops, the weekly market, GPs, the station (Zutphen-Apeldoorn line) and various primary schools. The housing market is varied: from characteristic townhouses around the Markt to terraced houses in post-war expansion neighbourhoods and larger plots on the village outskirts. With a neighbourhood score of 7.8 based on six reviews, residents particularly appreciate the accessibility and greenery. One resident wrote: "Nice village with good accessibility, but the amenities could be more extensive." That is a fair point: for larger shopping trips or nights out you drive to Zutphen or Apeldoorn.

Hall, rural living between forest and IJssel
Hall is a small hamlet south of Brummen village and mainly attracts buyers who consciously choose peace and space. Here you will find predominantly detached houses and farmhouses on larger plots. Amenities are minimal; you depend on Brummen or Zutphen, but the location between the Veluwezoom and the IJssel floodplains is special. Residents give Hall an 8.8 as a neighbourhood score. Prices here are at the upper end of the market. Interested? Check the available homes in Hall.
Leuvenheim, compact and affordable
Leuvenheim is a small village on the west side of the municipality, close to the IJssel. It is compact, with a community centre and a primary school, but without large shops. The neighbourhood score is 7.1 based on one review. Leuvenheim can be interesting for buyers looking for an affordable home in a quiet environment. Via the neighbourhood page of Leuvenheim you can see what is currently available.
In addition, there are the smaller villages Empe and Tonden, both rural hamlets with a handful of homes that occasionally come on the market. Ideal for those who really want the countryside, but expect little supply and longer search times. On the municipal page of Brummen you will find all reviews and neighbourhood comparisons together.
What to look out for when buying a home in Brummen?
Firstly: look carefully at the differences between the villages. The distance between Eerbeek and Leuvenheim is perhaps ten kilometres as the crow flies, but in terms of atmosphere, price level and amenities they are completely different worlds. A home in Hall can cost two to three times as much as a comparable house in Leuvenheim. Take the time to visit several villages before you decide.
Secondly: the housing market in Brummen is relatively tight, especially for detached houses and homes with a large plot. With only 56 sales in the past year, supply is limited. Overbidding occurs, especially for well-maintained family homes. Make sure your financing is in order before you go viewing.
Thirdly: accessibility differs per village. Brummen village has a train station on the Zutphen-Apeldoorn line, but from Eerbeek or Hall you are dependent on the car or bus. Also check the website of the municipality of Brummen for information about zoning plans and sustainability subsidies.
Finally: use the neighbourhood scores and resident reviews on Buurtje.nl to get a realistic picture of a neighbourhood. Figures such as safety, amenities and community spirit often say more than a nice photo. Are you also considering renting? Then check the rental homes in Brummen as an alternative.

Friendly residents, tidy surroundings and well-maintained infrastructure
Auto-translated to English by AIThis was a joke by some friends, very strange that this gets posted immediately. The house is very tidy, nice neighbourhood and lovely people. Vera is a very nice girl! Just kidding and thanks
Auto-translated to English by AIVery ordinary neighbourhood, nothing interesting about it. About 1 playground, and for the rest only houses. That was pretty much it. It is very safe though, nothing has ever happened here as far as I know. Hygiene is also good, no litter on the streets. The house is well located and accessibility is also good, you get to the roundabout on Rijen, turn right and tada, you're on the Pothof. There are 0 schools in my own neighbourhood, so that could be better in my opinion. There aren't really enough trees, plants, etc., which in my opinion makes it just a bit bare. And there are 0 amenities on the Pothof, outside the Pothof of course.
Auto-translated to English by AIPleasant living environment, quiet neighbourhood with a catering establishment and football club and a historic church as important attractions in the village. In addition, the primary school fulfils an important function in the village. The village has a close-knit community.
