House prices and market figures in Oirschot-Centrum

The range runs from around €250,000 to €1,295,000, showing that both entry-level homes and substantial detached houses come onto the market. With an average living area of 174 m², the price per square metre works out at about €4,615.

Just over half of the housing stock (54%) is owner-occupied, the rest is rented out. The average WOZ value in the neighbourhood is €406,000, which is notably lower than the district average of €461,000 and the municipal average of €465,000. This difference is partly because the centre also has a significant share of social housing (28% housing association ownership) and more compact homes than the more spacious outlying areas of the municipality of Oirschot.

Living in Oirschot-Centrum: village character with urban amenities
Oirschot-Centrum is the beating heart of one of the most beautiful monument villages in Brabant. Those who live here literally step out the door onto the Markt with its two churches, the Sint-Pieter and the Onze-Lieve-Vrouwekerk, and the characteristic facades that define the streetscape. It is not a museum village: life goes on. There are terraces on the Markt, a weekly market, and in the Rijkesluisstraat and the Nieuwstraat you will find a mix of specialist shops, a Jumbo supermarket and smaller stores. For daily groceries you do not need to leave the neighbourhood.
The housing supply in the centre is diverse. You will find monumental townhouses on the Markt and the Koestraat, terraced houses from the 1960s and 1970s in the streets around the Bestseweg, and newer apartments around the Lindeplein. This variety means that both first-time buyers and movers can find something here, although you have to dig deep into your pockets for a home in Oirschot-Centrum these days. The largest age group in the neighbourhood is 65-plus (1,420 residents), which is reflected in the quiet, well-maintained streetscape. At the same time, there are also families: there are 585 children up to 15 years old, and primary schools De Kempenhorst and De Springplank are within walking distance.
In terms of accessibility, Oirschot is well situated between Eindhoven and Tilburg. The A58 can be reached within five minutes via the Eindhovenseweg or the Bestseweg. Oirschot does not have its own train station, but bus line 142 (Arriva) connects the centre with Best station, from where you can be at Eindhoven Centraal in ten minutes. By car, you are there in a quarter of an hour. Cycling to Eindhoven is also quite doable via the cycle path along the Wilhelminakanaal route.
Residents appreciate the village feel combined with the amenities. "You have everything you need here, without the hustle and bustle of the city," writes a resident on the page with reviews about Oirschot-Centrum. Green spaces are never far away: the Oude Kerkhof is a peaceful spot in the middle of the village, and the Oirschotse Heide and the forests of De Beerzen are within cycling distance. Sports club RKVVO and tennis club De Kempen ensure an active club life. A downside that residents often mention is parking: in the narrow historic streets it can sometimes be a puzzle, especially on market days and during events.
Compared to neighbouring neighbourhoods such as Oirschot Noordoost and Snepseind en Bijsterveld, the centre is more compact and lively. Those looking for more space and a lower price per square metre can also look at Straten met Moleneind or the villages in the district Middelbeers en Westelbeers. But the centre offers something those neighbourhoods do not: everything within walking distance.
