Buying a house in Meierijstad: the housing market in 2026
Meierijstad is a merged municipality in the heart of North Brabant, formed from Schijndel, Sint-Oedenrode and Veghel. With over 84,000 residents, it is one of the larger municipalities in the province, but it never feels truly urban. That is precisely its appeal: you live in a rural setting, have good amenities and are within half an hour of the A2 or A50 towards Eindhoven, Den Bosch or Nijmegen. Major employers such as Jumbo (head office in Veghel), Mars and Vanderlande ensure a strong local labour market, with a labour participation rate of 68%.
The housing market in Meierijstad is predominantly a buyer's market: 69% of the 35,758 homes are owner-occupied, only 31% are rental. The average WOZ value is €405,000, but actual selling prices are higher. In the past twelve months, 335 homes were sold for an average purchase price of €588,166, with a range from €130,000 to nearly €2,000,000. The average floor area of sold homes is 146 m², showing that many spacious family homes change hands. At the top of this page you will find current asking prices and selling times. Buurtje.nl combines property listings from more than 1,500 sources and adds neighbourhood scores and resident reviews, so you can assess not just the house but also the neighbourhood.
The best neighbourhoods to buy a house in Meierijstad
Meierijstad consists of four distinct cores, each with its own identity and housing market. Whether you are a first-time buyer looking for an affordable apartment or a family wanting space, there is always a core that suits you. Below are the main areas listed.
Schijndel, village character with high ratings
Schijndel is the most compact village of the four cores and is known for its strong sense of community. With a neighbourhood score of 9.5 out of 10 from residents, it scores remarkably high. The centre around the Markt offers shops, hospitality and a weekly market, while via the Schijndelse Heide and the Wijboschbroek you are quickly in the green. Homes in Schijndel are in demand: expect prices here above the municipal average, especially for detached houses in the outlying areas. First-time buyers sometimes find opportunities in the new-build projects facilitated by the municipality. View the property listings in Schijndel for the current situation.
Veghel, the beating heart of Meierijstad
Veghel is the largest core and functions as the economic centre of the municipality. The head office of Jumbo, the factories of Mars and various logistics companies are located here. Residents give Veghel an 8.8 out of 10. Accessibility scores particularly well thanks to the direct connection to the A50. In the centre you will find the De Corridor shopping area, sports facilities and secondary schools. The housing stock is diverse: from 1960s terraced houses in Veghel-Zuid to new-build around De Bunders. One resident writes: "Veghel has everything you need, without the hustle and bustle of a big city." Prices vary greatly by neighbourhood, but on average are slightly below those of Schijndel.

Sint-Oedenrode, green and quiet on the Dommel
Sint-Oedenrode, called 'Rooi' by locals, lies picturesquely along the Dommel. It is the core where nature and tranquillity prevail. Residents rate it a 7.5 out of 10. The village has a cosy centre with local shops and eateries, and the annual Rooise Kermis draws the whole village out. For buyers seeking space, there are opportunities in the outlying area towards Olland and Nijnsel. The downside: amenities such as secondary education and larger shops are more easily reached in Veghel or Den Bosch. View what is for sale in Sint-Oedenrode.
Erp, small and rural
Erp is the smallest core and has the most rural character. With a neighbourhood score of 7.6 out of 10, it scores slightly lower than the other cores, partly due to the more limited level of amenities. Here you do not have a supermarket around the corner and for secondary schools you rely on Veghel. But for those who consciously choose peace, space and a close-knit neighbourhood life, Erp offers an affordable alternative. House prices here are generally below the municipal average. Discover the listings in Erp.
In addition to these four main cores, Meierijstad has various smaller hamlets such as Mariaheide, Eerde and Wijbosch, each with its own village charm. On the municipality page of Meierijstad you will find all ratings and reviews per neighbourhood.
What to look out for when buying a home in Meierijstad?
Firstly: look beyond just the core you first think of. The price differences between Schijndel and Erp are significant, and sometimes you find a similar home in an adjacent core for tens of thousands of euros less. Especially as a first-time buyer or if you are considering buying an apartment in Meierijstad, it pays to cast a wide net.
Secondly: take market conditions into account. With 335 sales in the past year and an average purchase price of nearly €590,000, this is not a cheap market. Overbidding occurs, especially for well-maintained family homes in Schijndel and Veghel. Make sure your financing is in order before you go viewing.
Thirdly: accessibility differs per core. Veghel is directly on the A50, Schijndel is closer to Den Bosch, and Sint-Oedenrode is quieter but also further from motorways. Consider where you work and how you travel.
Finally: use the neighbourhood scores and resident reviews on Buurtje.nl to get an honest picture of liveability per neighbourhood. Figures on safety, green space and amenities tell you more than a nice estate agent photo. And if buying is not (yet) feasible, also check out the rental homes in Meierijstad as an alternative.

Auto-translated to English by AIIt is safe, clean, and there are enough nature amenities. In Mariaheide itself it's a 3.5, but Uden and Veghel have many amenities. The supermarket De Jumbo in Veghel is within 2 km. In Mariaheide it's poor, but outside (where you are within 5 minutes) it's good. Uden is very cosy to sit on a terrace. On average I give living in Mariaheide an 8.5!
