Homes for sale in Valkenswaard

What does a home cost in the Valkenswaard neighbourhood?

The Valkenswaard neighbourhood, with over 10,500 homes, is the largest neighbourhood in the municipality and has a healthy mix of rental and owner-occupied properties: 56% of homes are owner-occupied, 44% are rented out. The average WOZ value is €353,000, slightly below the municipal average of €360,000. This small difference is because the neighbourhood, in addition to spacious single-family homes, also has a significant share of apartments and terraced houses, which lowers the average. On the sales market, prices are higher: in the past twelve months, 106 homes were sold for an average of €500,203, with a range from €219,000 to €1,750,000. The average floor area was 133 m². This means that both affordable starter homes and spacious detached houses changed hands. At the top of this page, you can see the current listings and the average asking price at this moment.

Living in Valkenswaard: central, green and with a village character

Living in Valkenswaard feels like a mix of village cosiness and urban convenience. The centre with the Markt is the beating heart: here you will find shops, terraces and the weekly market. Resident Carmen sums it up on Buurtje.nl with a 7.8 out of 10: "The neighbourhood is close to the centre, so you are quickly at the market. It is a nice neighbourhood, but I do miss something for young people. There is nothing where young people are allowed in or anything." That comment is recognisable. Valkenswaard has excellent facilities for daily shopping, with an Albert Heijn and Jumbo in the centre and a Lidl on the outskirts, but nightlife for young people is limited. On the Valkenswaard neighbourhood page you can read all the reviews and neighbourhood data.

In terms of green spaces, the neighbourhood scores well: the Dommeldal area is within walking distance and the Malpie, a nature reserve south of the village, is popular with walkers and cyclists. The score for green spaces is therefore 8.0. Education even gets a 9.0: there are several primary schools such as De Schatkist and Het Palet, and the Were Di secondary school offers secondary education. There are plenty of sports clubs, from football club VV Valkenswaard to tennis club De Wedert.

Accessibility is decent but not spectacular. Valkenswaard does not have its own train station, but bus lines (including line 171) connect the village to Eindhoven Central in about 25 to 35 minutes. By car, you can quickly reach Eindhoven via the N69 and A2. This makes the village attractive for commuters who want to escape the hustle and bustle of the city. Within the neighbourhood, areas such as the Centre offer a more urban feel, while Geenhoven and Hoge Akkers are quieter and greener. Safety is rated 8.0 by residents, which fits the quiet, orderly character of the village. The municipality of Valkenswaard is also investing in the redevelopment of the centre and the improvement of the N69, which should further enhance liveability in the long term.

For which buyers is Valkenswaard a good choice?

With an entry price around €219,000, there are opportunities for starters, although you would then have to think of a compact apartment. Buying an apartment in Valkenswaard is therefore more realistic than a single-family home if your budget is limited. The largest group of residents is 65-plus (over 6,000), which means that family homes regularly become available from downsizers. Families benefit from the good schools and green spaces. Do take into account additional costs: transfer tax (2%), notary and valuation costs quickly add up to several thousand euros on top of the purchase price. In a market where overbidding occurs, well-prepared financing is important. If you prefer flexibility, also check out the rental homes in this neighbourhood.
