House prices and market figures De Hinthamerpoort, Den Bosch
De Hinthamerpoort is predominantly a rental neighbourhood: only 25% of the housing stock is owner-occupied, while as much as 58% is owned by a housing association. This makes the owner-occupied segment scarce and therefore sought-after. The average WOZ value is €304,000, which is noticeably lower than the average for the Graafsepoort district (€351,000) and well below the municipal average of Den Bosch (€398,000). Yet the actual transactions tell a different story: over the past twelve months, 28 homes were sold with an average purchase price of €466,464 and an average living area of 77 m², which works out at over €6,000 per square metre. The range runs from €315,000 to €1,150,000, indicating that besides compact apartments, larger, characterful properties also change hands. Supply is limited and competition among buyers is correspondingly high. At the top of this page, you can see the current number of available owner-occupied homes and the current average asking price.
Living in De Hinthamerpoort, Den Bosch
De Hinthamerpoort is located right next to the historic city centre of Den Bosch, and you notice that as soon as you walk around. The neighbourhood has a distinctly urban character: narrow streets, older buildings from the first half of the twentieth century interspersed with post-war apartment blocks, and a mix of residents you rarely find in a new-build area. Students, young professionals, some older singles and a handful of families live here side by side. With 740 residents in the 25 to 45 age group, this is clearly a neighbourhood for working adults in the building phase of their lives.
The location is what sets the neighbourhood apart from areas like Hintham noord or Graafsebuurt noord: you can walk or cycle to the centre of Den Bosch within five to ten minutes, with the Markt, the Groot Ziekengasthuis and all inner-city amenities within easy reach. Den Bosch station is about a ten-minute cycle away, from where you can travel directly to Utrecht, Eindhoven and Tilburg. Bus routes along the Graafseweg and Hinthamereinde connect the neighbourhood quickly to other parts of the city. By car, the A2 and A59 are accessible via the southern ring road, although parking in the neighbourhood is a point of attention: most streets have paid parking or a permit system.
In terms of amenities, the neighbourhood is compact but well covered. Daily shopping can be done at supermarkets on the edge of the neighbourhood or in the nearby city centre. Primary schools in the immediate vicinity include Sint Martinus primary school and the schools along the Graafseweg. For green spaces, you have to look a bit further: Wilhelminapark and the area around the city walls offer breathing space, but there is no large park around the corner. That is a fair drawback of this location.
Residents appreciate the central location and lively atmosphere, but also note the hustle and bustle and parking pressure. On the neighbourhood main page of De Hinthamerpoort you can find all resident reviews and neighbourhood scores. One resident describes it as follows: "You live here right in the city, everything is close by, but you have to like a bit of life and activity." That sums up the character well. Compared to the quieter Graafsebuurt zuid or Aawijk noord, De Hinthamerpoort is distinctly more urban and lively, with less greenery but more direct proximity to the city.
Who is a home for sale in De Hinthamerpoort interesting for?
Buying in De Hinthamerpoort mainly appeals to young professionals and dual-income couples who want to combine the city centre with an owner-occupied home. Supply is limited: on average, fewer than thirty homes change hands per year, so anyone wanting to buy must respond quickly and be realistic about overbidding. First-time buyers with a limited budget would do better to also look at rental homes in De Hinthamerpoort as an intermediate step. Families looking for space and a garden generally get more for their money elsewhere in Den Bosch, such as in Rosmalen-Zuid. The high price per square metre requires a realistic picture of what you get: compact homes in a prime location, not spacious villas in a green environment.

What is it like living in De Hinthamerpoort?

The atmosphere is lively and mixed: young professionals, students, and longer-term residents live together in a mix of older city homes and post-war flats.

Is De Hinthamerpoort suitable for first-time buyers and young families?
The neighbourhood mainly attracts young professionals: the largest age group is 25 to 45 years old, and the proportion of single-person households is high (700 out of approximately 1,157 homes). For first-time buyers, the entry price of at least €315,000 is a hurdle, and overbidding is realistic in this market. Young families looking for space and a garden generally find more for their money elsewhere in Den Bosch. The neighbourhood is most suitable for dual-income earners who prioritise the inner-city location.
How accessible is De Hinthamerpoort?
Accessibility of De Hinthamerpoort is excellent for those travelling without a car. Den Bosch station is about a ten-minute bike ride away, with direct connections to Utrecht, Eindhoven, and Tilburg. Several bus routes along the Graafseweg and Hinthamereinde connect the neighbourhood to the rest of the city. By car, the southern ring road and thus the A2 and A59 are quickly reachable, but parking in the neighbourhood itself is limited and largely regulated via permits or paid parking.
What type of homes are for sale in De Hinthamerpoort?
The owner-occupied segment in De Hinthamerpoort consists of a mix of older city homes and apartments in post-war porch-access flats. Only 25% of the housing stock is owner-occupied, the rest is rental housing, largely from a housing association. Buying an apartment in De Hinthamerpoort is the most common option, but larger, characterful properties also change hands, as evidenced by the upper limit of €1,150,000 in the sales data of the past year.
What about parking and green spaces in De Hinthamerpoort?
Parking is a frequently mentioned point of attention in De Hinthamerpoort. Most streets fall under a paid parking regime or permit system, which is a practical and financial consideration for buyers with a car. Green space is limited in the immediate vicinity: Wilhelminapark and the city walls offer the nearest options for a walk, but a large park around the corner is lacking. Those who buy a home here do so primarily for the urban location, not for the green surroundings.
