Het Gegraaf, Valkenswaard
NeighbourhoodThis terraced house on Distelstraat sits in Het Gegraaf, a residential part of Valkenswaard where the streets are quiet and the pace is relaxed. With 71 m² of living space, it is a compact home, but the plot is anything but: at 1485 m², it is a rare find for a terraced house. The rent of €670 a month is keen, especially when you consider the outdoor space that comes with it. For context, this sits among the terraced houses in Valkenswaard, where supply is limited.
Het Gegraaf is a mixed neighbourhood with around 2,650 residents, and the figures show a real spread: a third of households have children, while a good number of people live on their own. The age range is broad too, with a noticeable share of residents over 65. It is a place where you get a bit of everything, from young families to older residents. There are no resident reviews available for this neighbourhood, so the picture here is based purely on the statistics. That said, the mix of ages and household types gives it a settled, everyday feel. This is the Het Gegraaf neighbourhood in a nutshell.
Daily errands are easy from here. The Jumbo is just around the corner for groceries, and there are several other supermarkets within a short walk or drive. For school runs, Basisschool De Windroos is a couple of streets away, with a few more primary schools within a ten-minute walk. The nearest secondary school is a bit further out, but still manageable. A park or green space is also close by, which is handy for a quick break outdoors. All of this sits within the municipality of Valkenswaard, where the essentials are never far.

About Distelstraat 7, Valkenswaard
The rent is €670 per month for a terraced house with 71 m² of living space. The plot is unusually large at 1485 m², which is a significant part of the value here. With only one rental property available in the neighbourhood at the moment, it is hard to compare directly, but the price looks reasonable given the outdoor space.
The energy label is B, which is an official registration from EP-Online. It indicates the home is relatively efficient, so you can expect moderate energy costs. The label does not say anything about the condition of the building itself, just the registered efficiency level.
The plot measures 1485 m², which is exceptionally large for a terraced house. The listing does not specify how the outdoor space is laid out, so it is not clear whether it is garden, lawn, or something else. What is clear is that there is plenty of room to spread out, which is a rare commodity in this type of home.
Yes, this home is marked as social housing in the listing. That means it is likely subject to income limits and allocation rules set by the housing association. The rent of €670 a month is within the social housing threshold, so it is aimed at tenants who qualify for that sector.
Basisschool De Windroos is just a couple of streets away, and there are several other primary schools within a ten-minute walk, including Basisschool de Dorenhagen and Rooms Katholieke Basisschool Schepelweyen. The nearest secondary school is about 1.7 km away, which is a short trip by bike or car.
The nearest train station is 11.3 km away. That is a distance that will require a drive or a bus connection, so it is not a quick walk. For daily commuting by rail, you would need to factor in travel time to the station.

How residents experience their district
The neighbourhood is close to the centre, so you're quickly at the market etc. It's a nice neighbourhood, but I do miss something for young people. There's nothing now where young people are allowed in or anything.

Auto-translated to English by AISafe neighbourhood. When necessary, we are there for each other. Unfortunately, we have no shops in our village. We live in peace and freedom. Unfortunately, people in equestrian sports have always been given an advantage when it comes to applying for permits for building and such, and they have always made it very difficult for (ordinary citizens), so I do feel discriminated against in this regard. My village and neighbourhood are beautiful and you can relax. I am a very happy person.
Auto-translated to English by AIVery nice neighbourhood. Everyone respects each other. We help each other where needed. We live opposite a nature reserve. And that is wonderful. Our children would love to live in the same village but the prices here are astronomically high. So they had to move to Belgium because first-time buyers have a better chance of a house there. We have animals all around us. We also enjoy a day in the city but are happy when we can return to the peace and quiet at the end of the day.
