Boekend, village living on the edge of the city
Boekend is a small settlement south of Blerick that has retained a village character. It is quiet, green and compact.

The housing stock is limited, but when something becomes available, it is often more spacious detached or semi-detached houses. Prices are generally above the Venlo average due to the larger plots. View the homes in Boekend.
Trade Port, modern and businesslike
Trade Port is better known as a logistics and business area, but it also has a modest residential component. With a neighbourhood score of 8.8, it is on paper the best-rated neighbourhood, although that is based on one review. Accessibility via the A67 and A73 is excellent, making it interesting for people who travel a lot. The supply is limited and atypical. Check the Trade Port page to see if anything is available.
Steyl, historic and green on the Meuse
Steyl is a special village within the municipality of Venlo, known for the Mission Houses and the botanical gardens of Jochumhof. The neighbourhood exudes history and tranquillity. Residents give it a 7.5, praising the green character and unique atmosphere, but amenities are more limited than in the city. If you are looking for a characterful home in a special environment, you should definitely check the listings in Steyl.
In addition, there are neighbourhoods such as Tegelen-Centrum, which has its own village centre with shops and schools, Arcen with its castle gardens and tourist character, and Belfeld as a quiet Meuse village in the south of the municipality. Each of these neighbourhoods has its own dynamics in terms of prices and supply. On the municipality page of Venlo you will find all ratings and reviews per neighbourhood.
What to look out for when buying a home in Venlo?
Firstly: the price differences between neighbourhoods are significant. A terraced house in Blerick-Zuid (neighbourhood score 7.2) is much more affordable than a similar home in Boekend or the centre. Look closely at emerging neighbourhoods such as Hout-Blerick or Het Ven if you want more space for your budget.
Secondly: take selling times into account. Popular homes in sought-after neighbourhoods sell quickly. Make sure your financing is in order before you start viewing, because overbidding is no longer an exception in Venlo. Also look critically at energy labels: the average gas consumption in Venlo is 1,080 m³, which is relatively low, but older homes in, for example, Tegelen or Blerick-Zuid can differ significantly.
Thirdly: accessibility varies per neighbourhood. Venlo city centre and Blerick are close to Venlo station with direct trains to Eindhoven, Nijmegen and Düsseldorf. But in villages such as Velden or Lomm you are more dependent on the car. Finally: use the neighbourhood scores and reviews on Buurtje.nl to get a fair picture of a neighbourhood before you make an offer. The figures from residents often tell more than a sales brochure.

I experience a lot of safety here. Never felt like I had to watch out for my safety and the roads are nicely built. I rarely experience a car driving too fast here and I never hear anything bad from neighbours about burglaries or theft. You can easily chat with people on the street that you see often because they walk their dogs, and I was even helped once with my bike when the chain came off. It is generally clean, only sometimes there are extra bags of rubbish and furniture by the containers. Houses are fine, nothing to complain about. They all look neat inside and out. Internet works well, fibre optic and electricity never go out. There are many playgrounds. Walking opportunities along the Maas and several supermarkets within walking distance. Also several bus stops and a fitness centre. You can easily get there on foot, by bike or by car. There is only a secondary school in the neighbourhood.
Auto-translated to English by AII have lived here since I gave birth to my children, it is like our home♥️
Auto-translated to English by AICosy with people who always have time for a chat and always say hello. Neighbourhood with many dogs and children and elderly people and different cultures.
Auto-translated to English by AIVery social and involved. Cosy and safe. Every year flower boxes in our courtyard that are cared for and maintained by certain residents.
Auto-translated to English by AIFriendly with each other. Noisy. Beautiful surroundings, but everything and everyone lives close together. Rarely a moment of peace and quiet. There are many children in the neighbourhood, they throw their rubbish on the street. So far I have always felt safe in our neighbourhood, but more and more residents or people from outside are coming. That gives a more unsafe feeling. Steyl has few amenities. There is only a supermarket. If you need other items, you will have to look for them in another place. Fortunately, we have greenery here and there, but that does mean there is more noise nuisance. The maintenance of the greenery is all done electrically, with most machines causing a huge racket. The people working with them wear ear/hearing protectors themselves.
Auto-translated to English by AIVery nice neighbourhood to live in. All the facilities we need are present.
Auto-translated to English by AIQuiet, pleasant neighbourhood
Auto-translated to English by AIGood, there are often problems with open roads, but otherwise a nice neighbourhood.
