House prices and market figures Eckart, Eindhoven
The owner-occupied market in Eckart is relatively limited in size. Only 32% of the more than 2,060 homes in the neighbourhood are owner-occupied, the rest are rental properties, the vast majority of which are owned by housing associations. This makes the supply of owner-occupied homes in Eckart scarce, and this is reflected in the prices. Over the past twelve months, 15 homes were sold with an average purchase price of €378,317. The price range ran from €249,000 to €485,000, with an average living area of 99 m². This works out at a price per square metre of approximately €3,820. The WOZ value in Eckart is €289,000, which is clearly below the district average of Dommelbeemd (€340,000) and the Eindhoven average of €360,000. However, the average selling price is higher than the WOZ value, indicating that buyers are willing to pay a premium for the scarce supply. In Eckart, the homes are predominantly ground-floor houses from the 1970s and 1980s: terraced houses and semi-detached houses. There are also apartments, but they form a smaller part of the owner-occupied segment. View the current supply and current asking prices at the top of this page.
Living in Eckart, Eindhoven
Eckart is a quiet, green residential neighbourhood in the southwest of Eindhoven, part of the district Dommelbeemd. The neighbourhood has a typical post-war character: wide streets, plenty of greenery between the buildings, and a mix of social housing and owner-occupied homes built in the 1970s and 1980s. This gives Eckart a quiet, almost village-like feel, even though you are right in the city of Eindhoven.
The population composition is diverse. With over 4,300 residents and a large group of 25- to 45-year-olds, it is not a senior or student neighbourhood, but a neighbourhood where families, singles and elderly people live together. Over 895 residents are 65 years or older, which is partly reflected in the quiet street scene during the day. The proportion of single-person households is high (around 1,000 households), which fits the mix of smaller homes and apartments in the neighbourhood.
For daily shopping, you don't have to leave Eckart far. Supermarket facilities are accessible via the nearby shopping centre on Eckartdreef, and in the wider Dommelbeemd area you will find additional shops and services. Primary schools are present in and around the neighbourhood, making it practical for families with young children. Sports facilities are available via the nearby sports parks and green strips in the district.
In terms of accessibility, Eckart scores reasonably. By car, you can quickly reach the centre of Eindhoven or the region via the A2 and ring roads. Bus connections link the neighbourhood to the centre and Eindhoven Central Station, although the frequency on some lines is a point of attention for daily commuters. By bike, the centre of Eindhoven can be reached in about twenty minutes via the main cycle paths along the Dommel.
Residents appreciate the peace and space in Eckart. On the neighbourhood main page of Eckart you can read the full resident reviews and neighbourhood scores. One resident writes: "It is quiet and green here, you hardly notice the hustle and bustle of the city. Ideal if you just want to live comfortably without any hassle." Critical notes are more often about the outdated appearance of some parts of the neighbourhood and the limited dining options within walking distance. Compared to neighbouring communities such as Luytelaer and Vaartbroek, Eckart is a bit more inward-looking and less lively in terms of public facilities. Neighbourhoods like Heesterakker and Bokt offer a similar living atmosphere but can vary greatly per street in terms of supply and price level.
Who is a home in Eckart interesting for?
Eckart mainly attracts buyers who consciously choose peace and space, without wanting to pay the top price asked in other Eindhoven districts. The WOZ value is below the municipal average, but the selling prices show that there is little room for negotiation. First-time buyers with a limited budget can look here at homes at the lower end of the range, but must take into account limited supply. Families and home-movers looking for space and greenery in a quiet environment fit well with Eckart. Seniors who already live in the neighbourhood and want to move to a smaller owner-occupied home will also find opportunities here. Those looking for more urban dynamics should look at owner-occupied homes elsewhere in Eindhoven. If buying (yet) does not suit your situation, there are also rental properties in Eckart available, although that segment is largely in the hands of housing associations.
