House prices and market figures for Dokter Poelsplein and surroundings, Venlo
The owner-occupied market in Dokter Poelsplein and surroundings is relatively limited in size: only 30% of the 483 homes in the neighbourhood are owner-occupied, while 70% are rented out, more than half of which through a housing association. This makes the supply of owner-occupied homes scarce, which has an impact on prices.

With an average living area of 132 m², this works out at a price of approximately €3,845 per square metre.

Living in Dokter Poelsplein and surroundings, Venlo
Dokter Poelsplein and surroundings is a compact, mixed urban neighbourhood in the eastern part of Venlo, part of the Venlo-Oost-Zuid district.

Terraced houses and porch flats alternate, and the scale is human. Dokter Poelsplein itself functions as a recognisable centre point in the neighbourhood, with an open character that gives space to the surrounding streets.
