House prices and market figures for Groeneveld, Venlo
Groeneveld is a predominantly owner-occupied neighbourhood: 60% of the approximately 903 homes are owned, with the remaining 40% rented, a quarter of which through housing associations. The average WOZ value is €317,000. This is noticeably lower than the average for the district Venlo-Oost-Noord (€337,000), but well above the municipal average for Venlo (€285,000).

In the past twelve months, 22 homes changed hands at an average purchase price of €376,000. The range runs from €275,000 to €645,000, showing that both modest terraced houses and more spacious detached homes come onto the market. With an average living area of 105 m², the price per square metre works out at around €3,580. That is realistic for a quiet, well-connected neighbourhood in Venlo-Oost.

Living in Groeneveld, Venlo
Groeneveld is a quiet, green residential neighbourhood on the eastern side of Venlo, nestled between the busier through roads and the more rural edges of Venlo-Oost. The neighbourhood consists mainly of detached homes, semi-detached houses and terraced houses, mostly built in the 1970s and 1980s. This is reflected in the architecture: solid brick houses with spacious gardens, wide streets and plenty of greenery between the homes. It is not a neighbourhood that stands out for spectacular facades, but rather for a sense of space and tranquillity that you do not quickly find in a more urban environment.
The population structure confirms that picture. With over 1,925 residents and the largest age group being 45 to 65 years old, Groeneveld is a neighbourhood where people have lived for a while and have consciously chosen to do so. There are also families with children (260 residents under 15) and a relatively large group of over-65s (485 people), giving the neighbourhood a certain mix. The number of single-person households is the largest in absolute terms at 385, but 41% of residents are married, indicating a stable, family-friendly living environment.
In terms of amenities, Groeneveld is well equipped for daily shopping. In the immediate vicinity you will find supermarkets, and the Grotestraat shopping centre in the centre of Venlo is easily accessible by bike. For schools, several primary and secondary schools are available in the wider Venlo-Oost area, including schools along the Stalbergerweg and in adjacent districts. For sports, there are football clubs and other sports clubs active in the area, and the green edges of the neighbourhood invite walking and cycling.
Accessibility is one of Groeneveld's stronger points. Via the A73 and N271 you can quickly reach the motorway towards Nijmegen or Roermond. The centre of Venlo can be reached by bike in a quarter of an hour. Bus connections via the Stalbergerweg and surrounding routes link the neighbourhood to Venlo station, from where intercity trains run to Nijmegen, Eindhoven and Düsseldorf, among others. For daily travel, a car is handy, but the neighbourhood is not truly car-dependent.
Residents appreciate the peace and space. On the Groeneveld neighbourhood page you can read all reviews and scores per category, but a recurring sentiment is: "It is quiet and green here, you know your neighbours and the children can play outside without you worrying." Criticism sometimes focuses on the limited range of shops and hospitality within walking distance and the parking situation in narrow residential streets. Compared to neighbourhoods like Stalberg-West or Hogekamp, Groeneveld has a more subdued character. Those looking for more urban vibrancy might also consider Venlo-Centrum, but if peace and space are central, Groeneveld is a good fit.
Who is a home in Groeneveld interesting for?
Groeneveld best suits movers and families seeking space without the hustle and bustle of the centre. The average purchase price of €376,000 makes the neighbourhood less accessible for starters with a limited budget, although the lower end of the market (from €275,000) still offers some entry opportunities. Seniors looking to downsize but stay in a familiar, quiet environment will also find their place here. However, be aware that supply is limited: with 22 sales in a year, homes sometimes go quickly. Quick action and well-prepared financing are therefore advisable. Would you like to explore more options first without buying immediately?
