Homes for sale in ’t Hofke, Eindhoven

House prices and market figures for 't Hofke, Eindhoven

The owner-occupied market in 't Hofke is relatively limited in size: only 34% of the housing stock is owner-occupied, with the remaining 66% consisting of rental properties, most of which are owned by housing associations. This makes the supply of owner-occupied homes in 't Hofke scarce, and this is noticeable in the prices. The average WOZ value is €300,000, which is clearly lower than the district average of Oud-Tongelre (€364,000) and the Eindhoven average of €360,000. Yet the actual sales transactions tell a different story: over the past twelve months, 18 homes were sold with an average purchase price of €544,917. The range runs from €259,000 to as much as €1,495,000, indicating that in addition to ordinary terraced houses, there are also larger and detached homes in the neighbourhood. With an average living area of 132 m², this works out at a price of around €4,128 per square metre. That is steep for a neighbourhood on the edge of Eindhoven.

Living in 't Hofke, Eindhoven

't Hofke is a quiet, greenish neighbourhood in the east of Eindhoven, part of the district Oud-Tongelre. Anyone who comes to live here soon notices that the urban hustle and bustle of Eindhoven city centre feels far away. The neighbourhood has a village-like character, with relatively lots of greenery, a quiet street pattern and little through traffic. Resident Isabelle Huijben describes it aptly: "Quite boring because it's more on the outskirts of the city and feels more like a village, but it is quite quiet." That is precisely what many residents appreciate here.

The housing stock consists mainly of ground-based homes, mostly built in the 1970s and 1980s. Think semi-detached houses, terraced houses and some detached homes on larger plots. The buildings are predominantly low-rise, with gardens at the front and back. There are also apartments, but these are less dominant in the owner-occupied segment.

In terms of amenities, 't Hofke is well equipped for daily shopping. Supermarkets are within cycling distance, and in the nearby shopping area of Oud-Tongelre you will find shops, a GP and a pharmacy. Resident Bloem writes: "There is plenty to do in the neighbourhood, for young and old. Supermarkets nearby, bus nearby. Everything is within walking distance or by bike." For a larger range of shops or a night out, Eindhoven city centre is about five to ten minutes' drive. Primary schools are available in and directly around the neighbourhood, and residents give the education in the area the maximum score of 10.0. Greenery also scores a perfect 10.0: the neighbourhood is close to green strips and parks that mark the transition to the countryside.

In terms of accessibility: 't Hofke has a bus connection that takes you to Eindhoven city centre, and by bike you are there in a quarter of an hour. The connection to the A67 and A2 is easily accessible via the Geldropseweg or the Randweg, making the neighbourhood attractive for commuters towards Helmond or Den Bosch.

Who is a home for sale in 't Hofke interesting for?

The neighbourhood mainly attracts families and thirty-somethings looking for peace and space without living too far from the city. The presence of good primary schools and greenery makes 't Hofke attractive for young families. Upsizers looking for a larger home with a garden will find more here than in busy inner-city neighbourhoods. First-time buyers have a harder time: with an average sale price of nearly €545,000 and limited supply, competition is fierce and overbidding is not uncommon. Those who are flexible can also look at the rental properties in 't Hofke as an intermediate solution. A drawback to be honest about: the owner-occupied segment is small, so you have little choice and need to act quickly when something becomes available.
