Living in Geenhoven, Valkenswaard
Geenhoven is an average residential neighbourhood in the heart of Valkenswaard, with a character best described as quiet-urban. It is not a neighbourhood that stands out for architectural highlights or a distinct identity, but rather for its location and practical living quality. Most streets consist of terraced and semi-detached houses, largely built between the 1960s and 1980s. Gardens exist, but they are not large. What the neighbourhood does have is a direct connection to the centre of Valkenswaard.
Carmen, a resident of Geenhoven, puts it aptly: "The neighbourhood is close to the centre, so you're quickly at the market etc. It's a nice neighbourhood, but I do miss something for young people. There's nothing where young people are allowed in or anything." This proximity to the centre is a recurring plus point. Within a five-minute bike ride, you are at the Markt of Valkenswaard, with shops, eateries and the weekly market. The nearest supermarket is within walking distance, and primary schools are in the immediate vicinity. Education therefore scores highly in resident reviews: a 9.0. Facilities specifically for young people are hardly available, which is also reflected in the sub-score: facilities score a 6.0.
In terms of accessibility, Geenhoven performs well. The neighbourhood is favourably located relative to the N69, the connecting road towards Eindhoven and the Belgian border. By car, you can reach Eindhoven in about twenty minutes. Bus connections from Valkenswaard run regularly towards Eindhoven Central Station, from where train connections are available. Valkenswaard does not have its own train station, but the bus connection compensates reasonably well. Residents give accessibility an 8.0.
The neighbourhood has a mixed population composition. The largest group is 25 to 45 years old (930 residents), but those aged 65 and over are also well represented (900 people). This is reflected in the atmosphere: it is not a neighbourhood with much social dynamics on the street, but there is a certain peace and stability. Single-person households form the largest household category with 805 units, which is partly explained by the relatively large share of social housing.
Comparing Geenhoven with neighbouring neighbourhoods, you notice that Centrum feels much busier and more urban, while Turfberg-Noord and Turfberg-Zuid have a slightly greener, quieter appearance. Hoge Akkers and Kerkakkers are similar residential neighbourhoods in the same segment. Geenhoven sits somewhere in the middle in terms of character and price: more accessible than the centre, but with less greenery than the outer edge districts. More background on the neighbourhood, including all resident scores per category, can be found on the neighbourhood page of Geenhoven.
Who is a home for sale in Geenhoven interesting for?
Geenhoven mainly appeals to first-time buyers and young families who value a central location but do not want to pay the higher prices of the centre itself. The range from €269,000 to €599,000 offers room for different budgets. Seniors who want to continue living independently with good access to facilities also find their place here. Being aware of the relatively high share of rental properties is wise: that influences the social mix and turnover in the neighbourhood. Not sure if buying is the right choice? Also check out the rental properties in Geenhoven as an alternative. The supply of homes for sale is limited, so acting quickly on an interesting property pays off.
