Living in Keent: an average Weert neighbourhood with a close-knit core and room for improvement
Keent is a neighbourhood that you won't quickly see on the front page of a lifestyle magazine, but for many residents it just feels right. The neighbourhood has a mix of terraced houses, semi-detached houses and a limited number of detached houses, with an average living area of 128 m² for recently sold homes. The age structure shows that there are relatively many 25-45-year-olds, followed by a solid group of 45-65-year-olds. This gives Keent a somewhat mixed character: not a typical student neighbourhood, but also not a pronounced senior area.
On the neighbourhood page for Keent, residents give the neighbourhood an average score of 6.7 out of 10. That is a fair score for a neighbourhood that scores well on some points and lags behind on others. Resident Annie Overklift writes: "Nice neighbourhood, I've only lived here for 2 years so little experience. Not enough is being done." That observation fits the sub-scores: community (8.0) and green spaces (8.0) score notably well, but amenities (4.0) and safety (6.0) leave room for improvement. Anyone expecting a neighbourhood full of lively activities and an extensive range of shops will be disappointed. For daily groceries, you rely on supermarkets in the immediate vicinity, but for a wider range of shops, you head to the city centre of Weert. The green scores are justified though: Keent has parks and green strips that give the neighbourhood an airy character, which is a plus for families with children.
In terms of accessibility, Keent scores a 6.0. Weert has its own train station with connections towards Eindhoven and Roermond, and from Keent that station is easily accessible by bike or bus. The A2 is a short distance away, making Keent attractive for commuters driving towards Eindhoven or Maastricht. Bus connections are available, but the frequency is limited, especially outside peak hours. Those without a car notice this in daily life. The neighbouring Boshoven and Laar en Hushoven are similar residential areas in Weert worth considering if you want to compare multiple options. For those seeking more space and tranquillity, the Keent rural area also offers interesting homes for sale. The municipality of Weert is working on various neighbourhood developments; current information can be found on the website of the municipality of Weert.
For whom is buying in Keent a sensible choice?
Buying in Keent is particularly interesting for first-time buyers and young families who want to live in the municipality of Weert but do not want to pay the higher prices of the city centre. The lower WOZ value compared to the municipal average offers some margin, although actual sale prices are significantly higher due to market forces. Keep in mind additional costs such as transfer tax (2% for non-first-time buyers) and notary fees. If you are still unsure whether buying is the right time now, you can also look at rental properties in Keent as a temporary alternative. Buying an apartment in Keent is also possible, although ground-based homes dominate the supply.
