Buying a house in Eindhoven: the housing market in 2026
Eindhoven has long ceased to be just the city of Philips and DAF. With over 246,000 residents, it is the fifth city in the Netherlands and the beating heart of the Brainport region, where companies like ASML, NXP and hundreds of tech startups ensure a constant flow of employment. You notice this economic strength directly in the housing market. Of the more than 118,000 homes in Eindhoven, 43% are owner-occupied and 56% are rental properties. The average WOZ value is €360,000, but actual transaction prices are higher: in the past year, 1,343 homes changed hands for an average purchase price of €523,159. The range is wide, from around €114,000 for a compact apartment to €5,750,000 for the most expensive detached villas. This spread says a lot about how diverse the city is. The market in Eindhoven is tight: homes sell quickly and overbidding is more the rule than the exception, especially in popular neighbourhoods. At the top of this page you will find the current supply, the average asking price and the time to sell at this moment. On Buurtje.nl you combine that housing supply from more than 1,500 sources with neighbourhood scores and resident reviews, so you not only buy a house but also choose the right neighbourhood.
The best neighbourhoods to buy a house in Eindhoven
Eindhoven has dozens of neighbourhoods, each with its own character. From the bustling centre to the spacious suburbs: the choice of neighbourhood determines your daily life at least as much as the home itself. Below I highlight the most interesting neighbourhoods for buyers, including the scores that residents themselves give.
Centrum, the urban heart with everything within walking distance
The centre of Eindhoven scores a 9.1 with residents and that is not without reason. You have the Markt, the Strijp-S area, cinemas, restaurants and Eindhoven Station within easy reach. The neighbourhood mainly attracts young professionals and expats who love urban living. Apartments make up the largest supply here, and prices per square metre are well above the municipal average. Anyone considering buying an apartment in the centre must reckon with stiff competition.
Meerhoven, spacious and green for families
Meerhoven is the newest large neighbourhood of Eindhoven, built from the late 1990s to the west of the city. With a neighbourhood score of 8.5 based on 7 reviews, it is one of the best-rated neighbourhoods. Residents appreciate the greenery, the wide avenues and the good schools. One resident writes: "Nice neighbourhood with many young families, good playgrounds and you are quickly on the A2." The proximity of Eindhoven Airport is a plus for frequent travellers, although aircraft noise can be audible in some parts. Purchase prices here are above the Eindhoven average, but you get space in return. View the housing supply in Meerhoven for the current situation.
Oud-Stratum, characterful and central
Oud-Stratum lies directly south of the centre and has a strong reputation among residents with a score of 8.3. The neighbourhood combines pre-war architecture with a village feel in the middle of the city. Along the Stratumseind and the Stratumsedijk you will find local shops and hospitality. It is a neighbourhood for movers who seek character without wanting to leave the centre. Prices vary widely: renovated townhouses are sought after and sell quickly. View what is for sale in Oud-Stratum.
Erp, affordable alternative with a close-knit neighbourhood
With a neighbourhood score of 7.9 based on 9 reviews, Erp is one of the neighbourhoods where the most resident data is available. The neighbourhood lies in the north of the city and offers a mix of terraced houses and semi-detached houses from the 1970s and 1980s. Prices are below the city average, making Erp attractive for first-time buyers and young families. Accessibility via the Ring is good, and there are primary schools and a shopping centre nearby.
In addition to these neighbourhoods, there are more interesting options. Halve Maan scores a 9.0 with residents and is a quiet, green neighbourhood. In Aanschot (8.0) you will find affordable owner-occupied homes in an emerging area, and Kortonjo (7.7) offers a good mix of accessibility and living comfort.

What to look out for when buying a home in Eindhoven?
The Eindhoven housing market is competitive, so good preparation pays off. A few concrete tips. First: look beyond the well-known neighbourhoods. Neighbourhoods like Doornakkers and Gestelse Ontginning are less well-known but offer a better price-quality ratio than the centre or Meerhoven. The neighbourhood scores show that residents live there perfectly well. Second: allow for overbidding. For many owner-occupied homes in Eindhoven, bids are made above the asking price, especially for homes under €400,000. Ensure your financing is arranged in advance and engage a buying agent who knows the local market. Third: accessibility varies greatly per neighbourhood. Eindhoven Station provides direct connections to Amsterdam, Utrecht and Maastricht, but from suburbs like Meerhoven or Achtse Molen you are dependent on bus or car. Check the accessibility score per neighbourhood on Buurtje.nl before you decide. Finally: buying a home in Eindhoven is not feasible for everyone. With an average income of €38,200 and rising prices, it can pay to also consider renting a home in Eindhoven as an option.

Nice quiet neighbourhood, all amenities nearby.
Auto-translated to English by AIQuiet, no nuisance, sometimes difficult neighbours, otherwise everyone is very much to themselves but still always curious about what others are doing. In terms of nature, it is very extensive and there are many opportunities.
Auto-translated to English by AIIt's a beautiful, quiet, clean and spacious neighbourhood. I experience the area as safe and child-friendly. In terms of noise, it's pleasantly quiet: you hardly hear any planes, at most occasionally a military helicopter during the day. There are good schools and the neighbourhood is very international, with a nice mix of locals and knowledge migrants. This is also due to its favourable location relative to the High Tech Campus, the ASML campus and ISE. Accessibility is good, with several bus lines (401, 402, 403 and 20) and fast arterial roads towards the centre and Best. In the centre of Meerhoven there are three supermarkets (Lidl, Albert Heijn and Jumbo), a GP, dentists and childcare. By bike you can reach Strijp-S in about 10 minutes and the centre of Eindhoven in 15 to 20 minutes. In addition, there is a lot of greenery, with beautiful walking routes along the golf course and through Park Meerland. A downside is that it's not very lively: there are few activities and hardly any catering facilities. All in all, I think it's one of the better neighbourhoods in Eindhoven. The centre is easily accessible by bike and it's a good choice if you want to live quietly, without being too far from the city. If you're looking for a cosy, lively neighbourhood with lots of nightlife, Meerhoven is probably less suitable.
Auto-translated to English by AIA quiet neighbourhood, with nice people. Small playground, large grass field, lots of trees and bushes, many shops and schools nearby. Live close to a beautiful park with a big playground. Near GP and hospital. Neighbourhood is safe and clean. We really enjoy living here.
Auto-translated to English by AII'm constantly asking for advice. Improving the pavements and removing weeds!!! Rembrantplein and 2 other streets really need to be cleaned.! Remco van Wij Eidhoven and I have also spoken to Trudo, but they won't do anything about it.! It's not their responsibility.!! Will you please do something about this? Vaartbroek also got new paving stones. Thank you for listening.

Auto-translated to English by AIUnfortunately, the neighbourhood is deteriorating. A lot of rubbish is dumped and the police often have to come. Education: there are schools nearby and it's green enough. Shops are conveniently close and the houses have just been completely renovated.
Auto-translated to English by AIPeople are becoming increasingly distant. More and more (sometimes) unjustified urgent cases. Not good. The neighbourhood is being taken over by too many nationalities, who don't seek contact. Parking problems due to charging stations.
