Buying a house in Laarbeek: the housing market in 2026

With over 23,000 residents, it is a compact municipality where village character and a strong sense of community prevail. Its location between Helmond and Eindhoven makes Laarbeek attractive for people who work in the Brainport region but prefer not to live in the city. The A270 and provincial roads towards Veghel and Gemert provide good connections, although for train travel you rely on stations in Helmond or Beek en Donk (bus line).

The best neighbourhoods to buy a house in Laarbeek
Laarbeek has four village cores, each with its own character. Whether you are looking for a family home with a large garden or a more compact owner-occupied home as a first-time buyer, the choice depends heavily on which village suits you best. Below are the three cores where most homes are for sale, plus a brief look at Mariahout.
Beek en Donk, the lively heart of Laarbeek
Beek en Donk is the largest core and functions as the centre of the municipality. Here you will find the town hall, most shops along the Hoofdstraat, primary schools, sports clubs and GP practices. The village mainly attracts families and movers who appreciate the combination of amenities and village tranquillity. Residents give Beek en Donk a neighbourhood score of 7.9 on Buurtje.nl. The village scores particularly well on accessibility and amenities. House prices are around the municipal average, with a mix of 1970s neighbourhoods, newer expansions and occasionally a detached house on the village edge. One resident writes: "Nice amenities within walking distance and yet it feels like a village." If you are looking for the widest range in Laarbeek, start here.
Lieshout, village-like and green with a close-knit community
Lieshout is the smallest of the four villages, but scores the highest with residents at 8.1. This is mainly due to its green character (8.6 for green space at municipal level) and strong social cohesion. The village is nestled between farmland and the River Aa, and has an active club life around the Oranjeplein. For daily groceries, there is a small supermarket, but for more extensive shopping you drive to Beek en Donk or Helmond. Lieshout is popular with families seeking space and tranquillity. House prices are slightly below the municipal average, partly because the supply mainly consists of terraced and semi-detached houses. Check the housing supply in Lieshout for the current situation.
Aarle-Rixtel, quiet living with a fast connection to Helmond
Aarle-Rixtel is closest to Helmond and is therefore popular with people who work in the city but want to live in a village. The village has its own primary school, sports park and a cosy village square with catering facilities. Residents rate Aarle-Rixtel at 7.9 and particularly appreciate the accessibility and the green countryside towards the Wilhelminakanaal. The housing market here is varied: from affordable terraced houses to larger plots on the village edge. First-time buyers considering buying an apartment in Laarbeek will occasionally find opportunities in small-scale projects here. Check the available homes in Aarle-Rixtel.
In addition, Mariahout is the most rural village in the municipality. It is small, with limited amenities, but offers spacious plots and plenty of green space. For those who consciously choose peace and space at a relatively lower price, Mariahout is worth discovering. On the municipal page of Laarbeek you will find all ratings and reviews per core.
What to look out for when buying a home in Laarbeek?
Firstly: look carefully at the differences between the four cores. Beek en Donk offers the most amenities, while Lieshout and Mariahout are quieter but have fewer facilities within walking distance. With an average household income of €35,800 and purchase prices rising to over half a million, it is wise to map out your financial scope in advance. Overbidding occurs, especially for attractive family homes.
Secondly: take accessibility into account. Laarbeek does not have its own train station. You rely on the car or bus towards Helmond. If you need to travel to Eindhoven daily, expect about 25 minutes' drive outside rush hour. Check via the website of the municipality of Laarbeek whether there are construction plans or zoning plan changes in the vicinity of your intended home.
Thirdly: use neighbourhood data to make an informed choice. On Buurtje.nl you can compare scores per district on safety, green space, amenities and sense of community. This gives you a fairer picture than just a viewing on a sunny Saturday afternoon. If you prefer to rent, also check the rental homes in Laarbeek as an alternative.

Pleasant living with sufficient amenities
Auto-translated to English by AIGood neighbourhood with nice spacious surroundings, clean and plenty of nature. Except there is little room for new people to live, so I wouldn't be able to buy a house in the neighbourhood and I would prefer to have older and younger people live together.
Auto-translated to English by AIIt's really a nice area to live in, I've lived here all my life and never wanted to live anywhere else. Lots of amenities in the neighbourhood, enforcement officers who patrol regularly, also plenty of schools.
Auto-translated to English by AIApart from my neighbours, I actually have very little contact with anyone from the neighbourhood. When I meet someone on the street, I always say hello, and most people in the neighbourhood say hello back pleasantly. I like that. I also feel safe in my neighbourhood because nothing bad ever happens that would make me feel less safe. The education in the neighbourhood is fine; there are several primary schools and also a secondary school. I also think the greenery in the neighbourhood is good; there are quite a lot of trees and enough small parks where you can walk. Amenities, such as schools, supermarkets, drugstores, and restaurants, are also plentiful. Moreover, Beek is easily accessible, and all streets are tidy and accessible.
Auto-translated to English by AIEveryone gets along well with each other and it's quiet and well-maintained. No street litter or overflowing bins.
Auto-translated to English by AIA cosy neighbourhood with a lot of interaction between residents
Auto-translated to English by AIWe live on a paved road where cars and motorcycles are allowed to drive 50 km/h. Previously, we had to cross the dangerous road. With and without small children!!! A few years ago, the municipality built a roundabout, making crossing safer and reducing the speed of cars. From Beek you can easily reach Helmond, Eindhoven, or the motorways to Nijmegen and Utrecht, Den Bosch, Venlo, etc. In this neighbourhood we have a WhatsApp neighbourhood watch and volunteers who walk a daily round through the village wearing an orange vest, where you can always go. The municipality keeps the trees and hedges along the road tidy, and there is almost never any litter in our neighbourhood.
