Buying a house in Maashorst: the housing market in 2026

Maashorst is a municipality in the northeast of North Brabant that was created in 2022 from the merger of Uden and Landerd. With nearly 60,000 residents, it is a municipality with a clear core around Uden and a ring of villages around it such as Schaijk, Zeeland, Volkel and Reek. The area owes its name to the nature reserve De Maashorst, one of the largest contiguous nature reserves in North Brabant. This green character attracts families and home-movers looking for space without leaving the city entirely. Via the A50 you are within half an hour of Nijmegen or Eindhoven, and 's-Hertogenbosch is also easily accessible.

The housing market in Maashorst is predominantly a buyer's market: 65% of the more than 26,000 homes are owner-occupied, 35% are rental. The average WOZ value is €384,000. In the past twelve months, 223 homes were sold at an average purchase price of €592,466, with a range of €139,000 to €4,500,000. That top segment mainly concerns detached houses on spacious plots in the rural area. The average surface area of sold homes is 175 m², indicating that relatively many spacious family homes change hands. At the top of this page you will always find the current state of supply, the average asking price and the time on market. Buurtje.nl combines homes from more than 1,500 sources for this 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 Maashorst

Maashorst has six clearly distinguishable residential areas, each with its own character. From the urban Uden with shops and restaurants to the rural Reek where you only hear the owls in the evening. Below are the most important neighbourhoods for home seekers.

Uden, the beating heart of the municipality

Uden is by far the largest core and the amenities centre of Maashorst. Here you will find shopping centre De Passage, Udens College, sports park De Biezenkamp and Uden station on the Maaslijn. For families, there are primary schools in almost every neighbourhood, and the weekly market on Marktplein is well-known. Residents give Uden a neighbourhood score of 7.8 out of 10 based on 6 reviews. Accessibility scores particularly high. In terms of prices, you are slightly above the municipal average in Uden, especially in new-build neighbourhoods like Uden-Zuid. View the housing supply in Uden for the current situation.

Schaijk, village living with good connections

Schaijk lies on the west side of the municipality, close to the A50 exit towards Oss and Nijmegen. The village has its own supermarket, primary school and sports clubs, but feels truly rural. Here you generally buy slightly cheaper than in Uden, especially semi-detached houses and detached homes from the 1980s and 1990s. For those who commute daily to Nijmegen or Oss, Schaijk is a logical choice. View what is available in Schaijk.

Zeeland, space and peace on the edge of De Maashorst

The village of Zeeland (not to be confused with the province) lies directly on the edge of the nature reserve De Maashorst. You notice that: many plots are spacious, there is little high-rise and the surroundings are green. Residents give Zeeland a 6.6 as a neighbourhood score, with community spirit scoring lower than in Uden. One resident noted: "It is quiet living here, but for shops or a night out you have to go to Uden." That is true, the amenities are basic. But if you value space and nature more than a terrace around the corner, Zeeland is worth considering. View the available homes in Zeeland.

Volkel, compact village with its own identity

Volkel is known for the airbase, but the village itself is a close-knit community with active clubs. The housing stock mainly consists of terraced houses and semi-detached homes, making the village relatively affordable for first-time buyers and young families. The airbase can cause noise nuisance, which is honestly something to take into account. View the supply in Volkel for the current situation.

In addition, there are two smaller cores worth mentioning. Reek is a small, rural village with a strong village community and little housing supply, meaning homes there sell quickly. Odiliapeel is a reclamation village with its own character and relatively affordable homes. Want to compare all ratings and reviews per neighbourhood?

What to look out for when buying a home in Maashorst?

Firstly: the price differences between the cores are significant. An owner-occupied home in the centre of Uden will quickly cost you more than in Volkel or Odiliapeel. So look carefully at what your priorities are. Do you want amenities within walking distance, or is a larger plot with garden more important?

Secondly: the average disposable income in Maashorst is €36,000 and the labour participation rate is 67%. The region relies heavily on manufacturing and logistics around Uden and the A50 corridor. Check whether your employer or sector is well represented in the area, as that affects resale value in the long term.

Thirdly: pay attention to accessibility per neighbourhood. Uden has its own station on the Maaslijn, but from Reek or Odiliapeel you are dependent on the car or bus. That makes a big difference for your daily routine.

Finally: use the neighbourhood scores and resident reviews on Buurtje.nl to objectively compare neighbourhoods. Figures on safety, green space and community spirit tell you things you don't see during a viewing. Are you considering renting instead?
