Molenstraat 85

A spacious family home in a quiet corner of Valkenswaard

This two-under-one-roof house on Molenstraat 85 sits in a leafy part of Hoge Akkers, a neighbourhood where detached and semi-detached homes dominate. With 188 m² of living space on a 420 m² plot, it offers room for a family without feeling oversized. The energy label A means low running costs, and the 1994 build is modern enough to avoid major renovation worries. At €795,000, the price is on the high side compared to other semi-detached houses in Valkenswaard, but the size and energy efficiency justify it.

Hoge Akkers: a mature, family-oriented neighbourhood

Hoge Akkers is a residential area with a calm, established feel. Around 3,100 people live here, mostly in owner-occupied homes (71%) and single-family houses (80%). The population is older on average, nearly a third are 65 or over, so the streets are quiet during the day. There are no resident reviews available for this neighbourhood, but the CBS figures show a low crime rate (53 incidents total) and a mix of households: about a third have children, a third are couples without kids, and a third live alone. The neighbourhood Hoge Akkers is moderately urban (density 1,439 addresses per km²), so you have space without being isolated.

Daily life: schools, shops and green space within walking distance

For groceries, you have Aldi just under a kilometre away, and Nettorama, Albert Heijn and Lidl all within about a ten-minute walk. The nearest primary school, Openbare Basisschool 't Smelleken, is a five-minute walk, and De Pionier is also close by. A park or public garden is just around the corner, and a GP surgery is a couple of streets away. The municipality Valkenswaard has all the basics covered, though for a train station you'd need to drive about 11 km to Eindhoven.
