Straakven, Helmond
NeighbourhoodThis end-of-terrace house on Smirnoffstraat sits in a neighbourhood that feels a bit rough around the edges. One resident describes it as a 'dangerous environment', a stark warning that life here isn't for everyone. Priced at €365,000, it's slightly below the neighbourhood average of €367,769, which makes sense given the area's reputation. For context, terraced houses in Helmond typically sell for a range of prices, and this one is on the lower end.
Straakven is a densely populated neighbourhood with 2,875 residents and a mix of families and singles. About 41% of homes are owner-occupied, and 64% are single-family houses. The area has a high density of addresses (2,124 per km²), so it's definitely urban. But the single review on paints a troubling picture: 'Some residents are extremely dangerous. Threatening with death, I could write a book about it!!!!!', that's the only feedback from a resident, so it's worth taking seriously. The neighbourhood Straakven has its challenges, but it's also close to amenities.
For groceries, you've got a Lidl just around the corner and a Jumbo a ten-minute walk away. Schools are nearby too: De Goede Herder primary school is a couple of streets away, and the Dr. Knippenbergcollege secondary school is about a five-minute walk. The municipality Helmond offers a range of services, but the neighbourhood itself feels a bit isolated from the town centre.
