Why Helmond remains the growth region next to Eindhoven

In short Helmond lies at the heart of Brainport, a stone's throw from Eindhoven. People who cannot find a suitable home in Eindhoven are increasingly looking at Helmond. That appeal is good news for everyone who owns a home here.

At the heart of Brainport

The Eindhoven region is one of the strongest economic regions in the Netherlands. High-tech companies attract employees from the Netherlands and abroad. All those people need somewhere to live, and by no means everyone finds a suitable home in Eindhoven itself.

Helmond has more than 95,000 inhabitants and lies a short distance from Eindhoven, with good road and rail connections. The city has its own economic profile, including around the Automotive Campus and its manufacturing industry.

More home for the same money

For many buyers, Helmond is the answer to the question: where do I get more space for my budget? A family home with a garden is within reach of more people here than in Eindhoven. That makes Helmond popular with families, first-time buyers and expats working in the region.

A city with many faces

Helmond has something for every buyer. Brandevoort with its distinctive architecture, green Dierdonk, village-like Stiphout and Mierlo-Hout, the lively City centre and spacious neighbourhoods such as Rijpelberg and Brouwhuis. That variety attracts a broad group of buyers.

What does this mean for your home?

A region with jobs, growth and lasting demand for housing provides a solid basis for the value of your home. Even now that national price growth is levelling off, demand for homes in the Brainport region remains high.

Even so, value varies greatly by neighbourhood, by street and by type of home. A house in Brandevoort attracts a different buyer from an apartment in the city centre. That is why local knowledge is indispensable in a valuation.

Conclusion

Helmond has long since stopped being just a “neighbour of Eindhoven”; it is an attractive place to live with a character of its own. That is good news for everyone who lives here. Would you like to know what your home in this growth region is worth? We know every neighbourhood and will tell you honestly.
