Homes for sale in Vaartbroek, Eindhoven

House prices and market figures Vaartbroek, Eindhoven

The owner-occupied market in Vaartbroek is relatively modest in size: only 35% of the housing stock is owner-occupied, while 65% is rented, most of which through housing associations. This makes the supply of owner-occupied homes in Vaartbroek limited, but also stable. Over the past twelve months, 29 homes changed hands, with an average purchase price of €417,534 and a range from €239,000 to €875,000. With an average living area of 114 m², this amounts to a price of approximately €3,663 per square metre.

The WOZ value in Vaartbroek is €309,000, which is noticeably lower than the average for the broader district Dommelbeemd (€340,000) and well below the Eindhoven average of €360,000. This difference partly explains why the realised purchase prices are higher than the WOZ: those who buy here pay a premium for the scarce supply. The housing types range from single-family homes from the 1970s and 1980s to a limited number of apartments.

Living in Vaartbroek, Eindhoven

Vaartbroek is a quiet, green residential neighbourhood on the southeastern edge of Eindhoven, part of the Dommelbeemd district. The neighbourhood has a distinct 1970s character: wide streets, plenty of greenery between the houses, terraced houses and semi-detached homes interspersed with porch flats. It is not a neighbourhood that stands out for architectural peculiarities, but rather for its tranquillity and space. Those who live here appreciate that. Resident Lara describes it aptly: "Very safe and sheltered for my children, nice neighbours." That combination of social cohesion and safety is reflected in the neighbourhood scores.

On the Vaartbroek neighbourhood page, the neighbourhood scores an 8.1 out of 10, with notably high marks for accessibility (9.0), green spaces (9.0) and amenities (9.0). Those scores are not exaggerated. Woensel Shopping Centre, one of the largest covered shopping centres in the Netherlands, is within cycling distance. For daily groceries, you hardly need to leave the neighbourhood: there are supermarkets in the immediate vicinity. Primary schools are available in and around the neighbourhood, although education scores a slightly lower 7.0, indicating that parents sometimes look further afield for secondary education.

In terms of accessibility, Vaartbroek is well connected. Bus lines run towards the centre of Eindhoven and Eindhoven Central Station, which is about a ten-minute bike ride away. Via the A2 and A67, both a short drive away, you are quickly out of the city. For commuters heading to Den Bosch or Venlo, that is a practical advantage. The neighbourhood also has good cycling infrastructure towards the city centre and nearby business parks such as the High Tech Campus.

Compared to neighbouring neighbourhoods such as Eckart or Luytelaer, Vaartbroek has a slightly more mixed population profile, with relatively many single-person households (1,135) alongside families. The largest age group is 25 to 45 years, but those aged 65 and over are also well represented. This gives the neighbourhood a certain diversity without feeling anonymous. The community score of 7.0 suggests that neighbours know each other, although it is not a neighbourhood where everyone is actively involved in neighbourhood initiatives. If you want a neighbourhood with more new-build homes and higher WOZ values, also take a look at Heesterakker.

For whom is a home in Vaartbroek a good choice?

Vaartbroek mainly attracts families seeking peace and greenery without living far from Eindhoven's amenities, and movers who want a spacious single-family home at a price slightly below the Eindhoven average. The owner-occupancy rate of 35% does mean that supply is limited: new homes do not become available every week, and overbidding is not uncommon. First-time buyers with a smaller budget may find more space here than in the centre, but must reckon with an average selling price of over €417,000. If you want to be more flexible, you can also view the rental homes in Vaartbroek as an intermediate step or alternative.
