Living in Riethoven: a Kempen village with space and tranquillity, but little within walking distance
Riethoven is a small Brabant village in the municipality of Bergeijk, nestled between fields, forests and heathland. Those who live there consciously choose peace, space and a recognisable village community. On the neighbourhood page of Riethoven you can read what residents themselves write about their village. A recurring theme in the reviews is the tranquillity and social cohesion: residents appreciate the low traffic levels, the green surroundings and the fact that neighbours still know each other. One resident describes it as "a place where you can still take a quiet evening walk without being bothered by through traffic". Critical notes almost always concern the same point: the limited amenities within walking distance and the dependence on the car.
Concretely, this means: Riethoven has a primary school (De Wingerd primary school), a community centre and a number of sports clubs, including football club RKVV Riethoven. For daily groceries you drive to Bergeijk or Valkenswaard, as there is no supermarket in the village itself. The surroundings do offer a lot: walking and cycling routes through the Kempen landscape, the proximity of the Leenderbos and the Groote Heide. Within the village there are several neighbourhoods with their own atmosphere. Dorpsplein and surroundings is the most central part, while De Hasselt and surroundings lies more on the edge and has a slightly greener character. Also Walik and the Willibrordusstraat and surroundings are worth comparing if you are considering buying a home in Riethoven.
In terms of accessibility, Riethoven is heavily dependent on the car. There is a bus line towards Valkenswaard and Bergeijk, but the frequency is limited, especially outside peak hours. Valkenswaard is about a ten-minute drive away, Eindhoven about twenty minutes via the N69. There is no train station in the village; the nearest station is Valkenswaard, which is connected to Eindhoven via the Sprinter. The connection to the A67 (towards Venlo and Antwerp) is accessible via Valkenswaard. Living in Riethoven works best if you have your own car and consciously leave the daily hustle and bustle of the city behind.
For whom is buying in Riethoven a good choice?
Riethoven mainly attracts movers and families who are looking for space and are willing to pay for it. The average sale price of over €567,000 and an entry price of €435,000 make this village less accessible for first-time buyers. In addition to the purchase price, take into account additional costs: 2% transfer tax, notary fees and possible estate agent fees. Supply is limited, so overbidding is not exceptional. Those who want to be more flexible or want to wait and see the market can also look at rental homes in Riethoven as an interim solution. Seniors seeking peace and who have already built up assets will also find a suitable environment here.
