Homes for sale in Hoogeind, Goirle

House prices in Hoogeind: lower than the Goirle average, but the market is picking up

Of the more than 1,000 homes in Hoogeind, 43% are owner-occupied. That is lower than the average in Goirle, where owner-occupied homes clearly dominate. The WOZ value in Hoogeind averages €309,000, well below the municipal average of €410,000. Yet actual transactions paint a different picture: over the past twelve months, 16 homes were sold with an average purchase price of €462,375.

The current supply and average asking price can be found at the top of this page.

The difference between the WOZ value and the realised sale prices shows that there is demand for owner-occupied homes in Hoogeind, even though supply is limited. Anyone considering buying an apartment in Hoogeind will notice that this segment is scarce. Most transactions involve ground-floor homes. By comparison, at Goirle-Centrum or De Groote Akkers, supply is sometimes more abundant, but prices are also higher there.

Living in Hoogeind: a quiet neighbourhood with an older demographic and few frills

Hoogeind is a neighbourhood that doesn't immediately stand out, but where residents often stay longer than planned. The largest age group is 65-plus, accounting for nearly a third of all residents. This colours the character of the neighbourhood: it is quiet, the streets are clear, and social cohesion is noticeable. On the neighbourhood page of Hoogeind, you can read what residents themselves write about their area. A recurring theme in the reviews is the peace and quiet and the accessibility of daily amenities, although it is also noted that the shopping options within the neighbourhood itself are limited and that you need to head to the centre for a full grocery shop.

For daily groceries, you rely on the centre of Goirle, about a five-minute bike ride away. There you will find, among others, an Albert Heijn and a Jumbo. Hoogeind itself has no shopping concentration, but its location on the edge of the built-up area gives it a green appearance. The neighbourhood borders the countryside towards the Belgian border, providing walking and cycling routes. Primary education is available in the immediate vicinity; for secondary education, you go to Goirle or Tilburg. Sports clubs such as football club SVG Goirle and tennis club LTC Goirle are within cycling distance. The neighbourhood Geestelijken borders directly on Hoogeind and has a similarly quiet living environment, while Herstallen offers slightly more variety in housing types.

In terms of accessibility, Hoogeind is heavily dependent on the car or bicycle. Tilburg is about ten kilometres away, with a travel time of around fifteen minutes by car via the N261. There is no train station in Goirle itself; the nearest station is Tilburg or Tilburg University. Bus services run via the Tilburgseweg towards Tilburg and the centre of Goirle. For those who commute daily to Tilburg or Breda, a car is almost indispensable. The municipality is working on improving cycling infrastructure; current information can be found on the website of the municipality of Goirle.

For whom is buying in Hoogeind a good choice?

Hoogeind appeals mainly to seniors and those seeking peace and quiet, but also starters looking for an affordable home at the lower end of the range (from €289,000) can find something here. The limited annual supply of around sixteen transactions means you have to act quickly when something becomes available. Keep in mind additional costs: transfer tax (2% for movers, 0% for starters under 35 below the threshold), notary fees, and possible estate agent fees. Those who need more time or want flexibility can also look at rental homes in Hoogeind as an intermediate step.
