Homes for sale in Centrum, Valkenswaard

House prices and market figures Centrum, Valkenswaard

In the Centrum of Valkenswaard, 51% of the housing stock is owner-occupied, the rest is rental housing. This makes it a neighbourhood with a fairly mixed ownership landscape, where housing association homes (24%) and other landlords (25%) also play a significant role. The average WOZ value is €338,000, which is noticeably lower than the district average of €353,000 and the municipal average of €360,000. This difference is due to the mix of housing types in the centre: alongside ground-based houses, there are also smaller apartments and older properties from the post-war period.

Looking at actual transactions over the past twelve months, a very different picture emerges. 29 homes were sold with an average purchase price of €558,586. The range runs from €275,000 to €1,345,000, indicating that the supply varies widely: from compact apartments to larger detached houses.

Living in Centrum, Valkenswaard

The centre of Valkenswaard is compact but lively. The heart of the village revolves around the Markt and the surrounding shopping streets, where you'll find daily groceries, specialist shops and eateries within walking distance. Supermarkets such as Albert Heijn and Jumbo are present in or directly around the centre, as is a weekly market that adds an extra dimension to social life on the Markt. Those who live here have little reason to drive far for daily needs.

The housing stock in the centre is varied. You'll find terraced houses and semi-detached houses from the 1950s and 1960s, but also apartments above shops and some detached properties on the quieter side streets. The buildings are predominantly older suburban architecture, which means that when buying, you sometimes need to account for extra maintenance costs or energy-saving measures. Average energy costs are 2,480 kWh of electricity and 860 m³ of gas per year, which is comparable to other neighbourhoods in the municipality.

In terms of accessibility, the centre is well-served for motorists. The A2 towards Eindhoven or Weert is reachable via the N69 within a few minutes. Eindhoven itself is about a twenty-minute drive away. Public transport is available via bus connections towards Eindhoven Central, although frequency outside peak hours is limited. For daily travel within the village, the bicycle is the most practical choice: everything is within cycling distance.

The population composition tells a clear story: the largest group of residents is 65-plus (1,725 out of 4,170 residents), followed by the 45-65 age group. This gives the centre a quieter, more established atmosphere than you might expect in a younger city centre. Single-person households form the largest household group (1,190), which is also reflected in the type of housing on offer. Residents appreciate the central location and the clear-cut character of the neighbourhood. One resident writes: "Everything is close by here, from the baker to the pharmacy. It's quiet living with all the convenience of a village centre around the corner." Read more experiences and view the full neighbourhood scores on the page for Centrum Valkenswaard.

Who is a home for sale in Centrum Valkenswaard interesting for?

Based on demographics, the centre best suits seniors and empty nesters who prioritise comfort and proximity to amenities over space, and singles who want to live centrally.
