Apartments for sale in Veldhoven
Limited supply, strong demand: buying an apartment in Veldhoven requires speed and preparation. View the current apartments in Veldhoven here.
Veldhoven: a compact municipality with a specific apartment landscape
Veldhoven is not a city overflowing with high-rise buildings. The apartment supply is limited and concentrated in a few recognisable areas, making the market clear but also tight. Anyone wanting to buy an apartment here faces little choice and relatively high prices for what is available. That makes preparation all the more important.
The supply mainly appeals to first-time buyers who want to live close to Eindhoven without paying Eindhoven prices, and people who consciously choose the quieter atmosphere of a medium-sized municipality. ASML employees and other knowledge workers in the region also look at Veldhoven because of its proximity to the campus and relatively good accessibility.

What to look out for when buying an apartment in Veldhoven
Buying an apartment has different pitfalls than buying a terraced house. Specifically for Veldhoven and this type of home, these are the points you should not skip:
- Check the HOA's health. Small HOAs (Homeowners' Associations) are common in Veldhoven in older apartment complexes. Request the multi-year maintenance plan (MJOP) and check whether the reserve fund is sufficient. An empty pot means an extra contribution from you later.
- Pay attention to the floor area. Banks are critical of apartments under 40 m². Getting a mortgage for such homes is more difficult, and resaleability is more limited. Always check the living area based on the NEN 2580 measurement report, not the advertisement text.
- Ask about the service charges. In addition to your mortgage, you pay monthly service charges to the HOA. These vary widely. Calculate what this means for your total monthly costs before making an offer.
- Parking is not a given. Some apartments in Veldhoven do not have their own parking space. Check whether a parking right or spot is included with the home, and if not, what the alternatives are on the street or in the complex.
- Respond quickly and get your financing in order. With limited supply, apartments sell quickly. Make sure you have a mortgage statement or preliminary calculation at hand so you can make a serious offer immediately.
- Enable push notifications via the Buurtje.nl app. The app is free and sends you a notification as soon as a new apartment becomes available that meets your criteria. This way you won't miss anything in a tight market. Download the app via the App Store or Google Play.
- Check the zoning plan for new builds. In new-build projects in Veldhoven, restrictions are sometimes included regarding rental or resale. Read the purchase agreement carefully or have a buying agent review it.
What determines the price of an apartment in Veldhoven?
Veldhoven is in the upper middle segment when it comes to apartments. This has a number of concrete causes. The proximity of the ASML campus drives up demand across the region, including in Veldhoven. At the same time, the supply of apartments is structurally limited, keeping prices high.
Factors influencing the price of a specific apartment:
- Year of construction and state of maintenance (new build or 1980s complex)
- Presence of a balcony, garden or storage room
- Level of service charges and state of the HOA
- Floor level and presence of a lift
- Parking facilities (own spot or not)

Apart from the fact that I have unpleasant neighbours on both sides and that one of them (a couple) causes a lot of nuisance, when they are quiet it is lovely to live in such a senior home. The house is very dilapidated and has quite a few defects. The housing association does nothing about it.
Auto-translated to English by AICorrect and without problems
Auto-translated to English by AINice, after my divorce in 2015, I was well taken care of, because Zeelst has many cafés, I know some owners and they kept an eye out for living space. Eventually through them I got a converted office. They kept an eye on me, neighbours are pleasant... eventually through urgency I got a home, again in this neighbourhood... I live here very pleasantly and feel quite safe. Strips of green are well maintained and I'm close to a park
Auto-translated to English by AII appreciate how accessible everything is in my neighbourhood, but I do think it's a bit outdated; many shops are closing and no (for me) interesting shops are replacing them.
Auto-translated to English by AIIt's wonderful living here. Everything is well organised, but the only problem is the cyclists and loitering youths in the centre.
Auto-translated to English by AISafe, fairly clean, nice. In terms of education, the Sondervick is not a good school… but that is really the school's fault/problem, they have bad teachers, poor guidance,
Auto-translated to English by AII've been living here for a few years and don't have much to complain about. Shops are very close by, schools are nearby too. There's plenty in the neighbourhood.
Auto-translated to English by AIFine, really. Everyone is nice and friendly. Just sometimes a few strange things.
