Purchase prices in Elsendorp: spacious homes above the municipal average
Elsendorp is a distinct owner-occupied neighbourhood: 73% of the 454 homes are owner-occupied, compared to just 26% rented. The average WOZ value is €428,000, noticeably higher than the municipal average of €386,000 for Gemert-Bakel. This difference is no coincidence: the housing stock largely consists of spacious detached homes and semi-detached houses on larger plots, typical of the Peel countryside. Buying an apartment in Elsendorp is hardly an option; this is truly family-home territory.
In the past twelve months, five homes were sold, with an average purchase price of €519,600 and a range of €488,000 to €639,000. The average home had a floor area of 191 m². These are substantial amounts for a small village, but the space you get in return is proportionate.

Living in Elsendorp: a small village with a big countryside feel
Elsendorp has just over 1,100 residents, making it one of the smallest villages in the municipality. Those looking for a home here consciously choose peace, space, and a close-knit community. The largest group of residents is between 45 and 65 years old, but with 185 children under 15 and 170 households with children, the village is far from ageing. Families who deliberately choose country living, with a garden, a cycle path to school, and no neighbours three metres away, usually feel at home here quickly. On the Elsendorp neighbourhood page, you can read what residents themselves say about living here, including scores per category such as safety, greenery, and atmosphere. A recurring theme in the reviews is social cohesion: people know each other, there are active clubs, and the neighbourhood feels safe. What residents mention less positively is the limited range of facilities directly in the village itself.
And that is true: Elsendorp has no supermarket within the village. For daily groceries, you drive to Gemert, about five kilometres away. De Peelburcht primary school is present in the village, which is an important plus for young families. For secondary education, pupils rely on Gemert or Helmond. Sport-wise, there is more to do than you might think at first glance: football club SV Elsendorp is an active club with youth teams, and the location on the edge of the Peel makes walking and cycling in nature a daily option. The scattered houses around Elsendorp give a good idea of how rural the area directly outside the village is.
In terms of accessibility, Elsendorp is not a public transport hub. A car is not a luxury but a necessity. Via the N272, you reach Gemert in about ten minutes and Helmond in about twenty minutes. The A67 (Eindhoven-Venlo) is accessible via Gemert and provides good connections for commuters. There is no train station in Elsendorp itself; the nearest station is Helmond, about 25 kilometres away. Similar villages in the municipality are De Mortel and Handel, which have a comparable character. Those who want to combine more urban amenities with a home in the region can also look at Gemert-Centrum or Gemert-Noord. More information about the municipality can be found on the website of the municipality of Gemert-Bakel.
For which buyers is Elsendorp a realistic option?
Elsendorp is most suitable for movers and families seeking space and willing to pay for it. With an average sale price of over €519,000 and homes averaging 191 m², this is not a starter market. Moreover, supply is limited: only a handful of homes are sold per year, meaning you need to act quickly when something becomes available. Also take into account additional costs such as transfer tax (2% for non-starters) and notary fees. If you are not yet sure whether buying is the right step, also check the rental homes in Elsendorp as an alternative.
