Buying a house in Helmond: the housing market in 2026
Helmond is the fifth city of North Brabant and has developed significantly in recent years. With nearly 96,000 residents, a strong manufacturing industry around the Automotive Campus and proximity to Eindhoven, the city offers an interesting alternative for buyers who find prices in the City of Light too steep. The city has character: from the industrial past in the city centre to the modern new-build neighbourhoods on the outskirts. Of the more than 42,000 homes, 54% are owner-occupied, meaning there is a healthy mix of rental and owner-occupied properties. The average WOZ value is €312,000, but actual transaction prices are higher. In the past twelve months, 319 homes changed hands at an average purchase price of €491,064. The range is wide: from €195,000 for a compact apartment to €2,650,000 for the most expensive sale. The average floor area of sold homes is 137 m². This indicates that mainly family homes are being traded. At the top of this page you will find the current listings with asking prices and selling times. Buurtje.nl aggregates homes from more than 1,500 sources and adds neighbourhood scores and resident reviews, so you can assess not only the home but also the neighbourhood.
The best neighbourhoods to buy a house in Helmond
Helmond has twelve official neighbourhoods, each with its own character. From the green, village-like edges to the lively city centre: the choice depends heavily on your stage of life, budget and what you value. Below are the neighbourhoods that are most popular with buyers.
Brandevoort, new-build with a historic look
Brandevoort was built as a kind of fortress town, with canals, narrow streets and facades reminiscent of the seventeenth century. Behind those facades are modern homes with good insulation and energy labels. The neighbourhood mainly attracts young families and movers looking for space without losing the urban feel. There are primary schools, a supermarket and plenty of green space nearby. Residents give Brandevoort a 9.0 on Buurtje.nl. One resident writes: "The combination of new-build quality and the village character makes it special here." Prices are above the Helmond average, but you get a lot of living quality in return. View the listings in Brandevoort for the current situation.
't Hout, village living on the edge of the city
't Hout is actually a village that has grown into Helmond, and you can tell. It has its own village centre with shops, a church and community life. The neighbourhood scores a 10.0 from residents, although that is based on one review. Still, the picture fits: 't Hout is known for its strong sense of community. You will find detached homes and semi-detached houses, often with large gardens. For families who want to live in a village but still have city amenities within cycling distance, 't Hout is a logical choice. Expect prices above average due to the larger plots.
Helmond-Noord, affordable and well-connected
Helmond-Noord is one of the larger neighbourhoods and offers a mix of terraced houses from the 1970s and 1980s, supplemented by newer parts. The neighbourhood scores an 8.5 from residents and is valued for its accessibility: Helmond 't Hout station is on the edge and the A270 towards Eindhoven is nearby. There are several primary schools, sports clubs and Hoeven shopping centre. For starters and young families looking for an affordable home to buy, Helmond-Noord is worth considering.

Binnenstad, urban living with character
The city centre of Helmond revolves around the castle, the market square and the Zuid-Koninginnewal. Here you will find apartments, monumental buildings and new-build along the canal. The neighbourhood scores an 8.1 from residents. It is the place for those who love dining out, culture and the weekly market on Fridays. Buying an apartment in Helmond is easiest in this area. The downside: parking can be difficult and the beauty score (7.4 average for all of Helmond) reflects that the city centre could use a facelift in some places.

What to look out for when buying a home in Helmond?
Firstly: the price differences between neighbourhoods are large. A terraced house in Rijpelberg or Helmond-Oost can be tens of thousands of euros cheaper than a similar home in Brandevoort or 't Hout. So consider your priorities carefully: new-build quality or more square metres for your budget.
Secondly: Helmond is a market where you sometimes have to bid over the asking price, but it is less extreme than in Eindhoven or Utrecht. With an average selling price of €491,064 and a wide range of housing types, there is something for many budgets. Make sure your financing is in order before you go viewing.
Thirdly: accessibility varies by neighbourhood. Helmond has two train stations (Helmond and Helmond 't Hout) with a direct connection to Eindhoven in a quarter of an hour. But if you commute to Den Bosch or further daily, check the travel time from the specific neighbourhood. On the website of the municipality of Helmond you will find information about ongoing area developments.
Finally: use the neighbourhood scores and reviews on Buurtje.nl to compare neighbourhoods on safety, green space and amenities. This gives you a fairer picture than just the asking price. Considering renting instead? Then also check out the rental homes in Helmond.
