Homes for sale in Mariahout, Laarbeek

House prices in Mariahout: above the municipal average of Laarbeek

Mariahout is a distinctly owner-occupied neighbourhood. Of the 764 homes, no less than 84% are owner-occupied, compared to just 16% rented. That ratio says something about the character of the village: it is predominantly family homes and detached houses that set the tone here, not apartment blocks or large rental complexes. The average WOZ value is €479,000, which is clearly higher than the municipal average of Laarbeek as a whole (€394,000). That difference of over €85,000 is striking for a small village and reflects the large, well-maintained homes that are common here. Over the past twelve months, five homes were sold, with an average sale price of €481,000 and a range of €425,000 to €620,000, with an average living area of 152 m².

Living in Mariahout: small village, great peace, but you need a car

Mariahout is a village of fewer than 2,100 residents, nestled between the Brabant countryside east of Eindhoven. Those who live here consciously choose that scale. The largest group of residents is between 45 and 65 years old (595 people), followed by those aged 65 and over (475 people). That tells you something about the atmosphere: it is not a neighbourhood where you expect much street life in the evening, but it is a place where people stay for a long time once they settle. Families with children form the largest household group, with 335 households. On the Mariahout neighbourhood page you can read what residents themselves write about their village, including scores per category such as liveability, green spaces and amenities. Residents appreciate the peace and social cohesion, but are honest about the fact that you need the car for almost everything.

In terms of amenities, Mariahout is modest but functional for daily use. There is a primary school in the village itself, and for secondary education children rely on Beek en Donk or Helmond. There is no supermarket in the village, so grocery shopping means driving to Beek en Donk or Laarbeek. For sports, there is more to find: football club SC Mariahout has an active community, and the surrounding landscape is excellent for cycling and walking. The nature directly around the village, with agricultural land and small woods, is precisely the reason many residents choose to live here. Anyone considering buying an apartment in Mariahout will notice that this type of home is hardly available here; the supply consists almost entirely of ground-floor homes. Also in the neighbourhood Verspreide huizen Mariahout, it concerns detached, more spacious buildings outside the village centre.

Accessibility is the honest point of attention for Mariahout. There is no train station in the village itself. The nearest stations are Helmond and Veghel, both about ten to fifteen minutes away by car. Bus connections are limited and not suitable as a daily commuting option for commuters. The A270 towards Helmond and the connection to the A50 are easily accessible by car, making Eindhoven reachable in about twenty minutes. Living in Mariahout works well if you have your own car and are not dependent on public transport. For comparison, in Beek en Donk or Lieshout the amenities are somewhat more accessible, although house prices there are similar. More about the municipality can be found on the website of Laarbeek municipality.

For whom is a home for sale in Mariahout a good choice?
