What does a home in Horst cost?
Horst is a neighbourhood where two-thirds of homes are owner-occupied (66%), making it an attractive market for those looking for their own home. The average WOZ value is €316,000, slightly below the municipal average of €324,000 for Horst aan de Maas. Looking at actual transaction prices over the past year, the average is much higher: €483,438 based on 32 sold homes. The range runs from €190,000 to €799,000, with an average living area of 149 m².

Living in Horst: cosy village centre with caveats
Horst is the largest core of the municipality and you can tell. The centre around the Markt offers a complete package of amenities: supermarkets such as Jumbo and Albert Heijn, a library, various hospitality venues and shops along the Steenstraat and Gasthuisstraat. For daily groceries you don't have to leave the neighbourhood, and that is a big plus for families and the elderly. There are several primary schools, including De Krullevaar and De Springplank, and secondary school Dendron College is within cycling distance. Sports enthusiasts find their place at football club SVSH, tennis club De Maaskei or the De Berkel swimming pool. The Kasteelpark and the area towards Berkelsbroek offer green space, although residents rate the green aspect with a 5.2 on the neighbourhood page of Horst where all reviews and neighbourhood data are located.
The resident rating on Buurtje.nl comes out at 5.5 out of 10, based on four reviews. That score deserves nuance. Resident Pim Verhaegh gives an 8.4 and writes: "It is a nice, cosy and friendly neighbourhood. We help each other when needed." He has lived there for thirteen years without problems. On the other hand, a resident complains about significant nuisance: busy roads with noise and stench, loitering youths making noise at night, and loud music in the area. Safety scores a 5.8, amenities a 6.2 and accessibility a 6.5. Education scores the lowest with a 4.0, which is striking for a core with multiple schools. That spread in experiences depends heavily on the neighbourhood: in the centre it is livelier (and sometimes busier), while neighbourhoods such as Hoogveld or De Riet are generally quieter.
In terms of accessibility, Horst is well connected. The A73 towards Venlo (approximately 20 minutes) and Nijmegen is a few kilometres away via the N277. Horst-Sevenum has its own train station on the Maaslijn with direct connections to Venlo and Nijmegen. Arriva buses connect the core with surrounding villages such as Meterik and America. For commuting towards Eindhoven, expect about 45 minutes via the A67. Information about local plans and zoning plans can be found on the website of the municipality of Horst aan de Maas.
Is Horst right for you as a buyer?
With an average purchase price of over €483,000, buying a home in Horst is not a starter market, unless you aim for a smaller apartment or a home that needs some renovation at the lower end of €190,000. Families with a moderate to above-average income find the most options here, especially in neighbourhoods like Molenveld and Kappellerhof. Seniors benefit from the complete amenity level in the centre. Keep in mind additional costs: transfer tax (2% or 10.4%), notary and valuation costs quickly add up to several thousand euros.

I give this neighbourhood a failing grade on several important aspects. Safety feels limited due to persistent nuisance and lack of supervision. The community is not close-knit; many residents move away quickly or pass away, resulting in little social cohesion. Hygiene leaves much to be desired. There is often rubbish on the streets and public spaces are poorly maintained. Housing is also of poor quality. Many homes are in bad condition, with deferred maintenance and conditions reminiscent of slums. Furthermore, the living environment is unpleasant due to constant noise pollution and air pollution. The lack of greenery and an attractive natural environment makes the neighbourhood even less pleasant to live in. All in all, this is an area where the quality of life is low and improvement is needed in many areas. Due to the poor living conditions, noise pollution and pollution, I recommend considering another neighbourhood. Avoid this area if you value peace, safety and a clean living environment.
Auto-translated to English by AII've been living here for 13 years now and I've actually never had any problems with the neighbours; it's always been pleasant. We help each other when needed in a difficult situation.
Auto-translated to English by AIFar too much nuisance in this street and area. Too busy roads with noise pollution and stench. Loitering youths shouting their heads off, even at night. Playground with screaming kids, early in the morning, when you couldn't sleep at night due to other nuisance. Lots of loud music, parties weekly in the area, continuing late into the night. Stench of tar or similar from farmers, businesses. Difficulty breathing or airing out the house. Restaurant with many car visitors, also nuisance from exhaust fumes, slamming car doors, loud talking. The house is very poorly insulated. All in all, an enclave of extremely poor living. Neighbour nuisance doesn't help either, weird Dutch people and their rotten characters. It destroys you as a person. I'm already looking for something else. There is no peace here and no healthy green environment. This requires a total renovation which the municipality and landlord don't want to do, just milk the citizen and drop dead.
Auto-translated to English by AIWe live near the motorway, it's awful, the noise pollution and smell pollution. Also when I have to cycle along the motorway, I suffer from stinging eyes, possibly remnants of the motorway get into my eyes. Little to no greenery in the area, only stone. Those few patches of grass are useless to a person, you can't relax in this village. The centre has many problems with loiterers and people who want to rob you. Many drunk people walk around in the centre and the outskirts, you can see those people are not happy either. People with mental health issues also walk around. Homeless people rummage through the bins while they need shelter. This municipality does nothing for its citizens, only collects money and occasionally accommodates someone, but you can forget about living pleasure in this village. Whatever you report to the municipality about noise pollution, car nuisance, smell pollution, health nuisance, it goes in one ear and out the other. Only a judge can fix this if they would cooperate with empathy for your fellow man. My golden tip, don't come and live in Horst, but go live far away from the motorway and main roads, preferably in the greenery (where in the Netherlands?) with healthy air and peace. Only crazy people can stick it out here.
Auto-translated to English by AIQuiet neighbourhood yet with all facilities and shops within walking distance. Lots of green and space. A large recreation and forest area 1 kilometre away, where there is even a nature trail. There are many playgrounds and equipment focused on outdoor play for children. There are several primary schools and a wide choice of secondary school communities. Horst also has a station, so after secondary education, further schools are easily accessible by public transport.
