Homes for sale in Welberg, Steenbergen

House prices and market figures in Welberg

Welberg is a village where the vast majority of homes are owner-occupied: 80% are owner-occupied homes, only 20% are rented out. The average WOZ value is €394,000, which is notably higher than the average in the Steenbergen district (€322,000) and the municipality of Steenbergen as a whole (€326,000). This difference says something about the type of homes here: Welberg has relatively many detached and semi-detached houses on spacious plots, and that drives up the value.

With an average living area of 161 m², that means a price per square metre of approximately €3,510. That makes buying a home in Welberg more expensive than in many surrounding villages, but you generally get more space and greenery in return. At the top of this page you will always find the current state of supply, including asking prices and selling times.

Living in Welberg: village-like, spacious and involved

Welberg is a small West Brabant village with around 1,400 residents, located north of the town of Steenbergen. It has the character of a close-knit village community where people know and greet each other. The housing stock largely consists of single-family homes from the 1960s to the 1980s, supplemented by newer detached houses on the edges of the village. Along the Welbergseweg and Oud Steenbergseweg there are also older, characteristic buildings. The streetscape is green, quiet and clear, without large apartment blocks or busy shopping streets.

In terms of facilities, Welberg is compact but functional. There is a primary school (De Klimop), a village hall that regularly organises activities, and an active football club (VV Welberg). For daily shopping, most residents drive to Steenbergen, where you will find supermarkets such as Jumbo and Lidl just a few minutes away. The same applies to the GP, dentist and pharmacy. It is typically a village where you need a car, but in return you get peace and space.

Accessibility is reasonable. The A4 (towards Bergen op Zoom and Tholen) can be reached via the N257 in about ten minutes. For the train, you are dependent on Roosendaal station, about a twenty-minute drive. Bus connections are limited; line 112 passes through the village but does not run frequently. Anyone who has to travel to Breda or Rotterdam daily must take travel time into account, although for many residents it is precisely the reason they live here: far enough from the hustle and bustle, but not isolated.

The largest age group in Welberg is 45 to 65 years (460 residents), followed by 25 to 45-year-olds. This makes it a village with many established families and movers. Residents particularly appreciate the peace and green character. On the Welberg neighbourhood page you can read reviews from people who live here. One resident writes: "It is wonderfully quiet here and the children can play outside safely. The only downside is that you have to take the car for everything." That honesty typifies the village: it is not a place with everything within walking distance, but it is a place you consciously choose.

Compared to neighbourhoods such as the centre of Steenbergen or Steenbergen-Zuid, Welberg is quieter and greener, but also less well-equipped. Those who prefer more urban liveliness with shops and hospitality around the corner are better off in the centre. Welberg attracts people who consciously choose village living in a close-knit community.

Is a home for sale in Welberg right for you?

Welberg is particularly interesting for movers and families looking for space without a large budget for the Randstad. With an average purchase price around €565,000, it is not a starter neighbourhood, although terraced houses occasionally appear around €250,000. Seniors who already live in the village often stay here, but newcomers should know that care facilities are limited. An honest disadvantage: the supply is small. With 491 homes in total, houses do not come onto the market often, and popular properties quickly attract interest. Anyone wanting to buy an apartment in Welberg has little choice, as the supply largely consists of ground-based homes. Are you considering renting? Then also check the rental homes in Welberg, although that supply is also limited at 20% rental properties.
