The housing market in Maliskamp west
At €602,000 average WOZ value, Maliskamp west ranks 14 out of 88 Den Bosch neighborhoods on price — 41% pricier than most of the city. That premium is the location speaking.

With 73% of homes owner-occupied, this is a settled buyers' neighborhood — homes change hands regularly, and you can usually find recent comparable sales on the same street to anchor your bid. Settled also means slower: owners here tend to stay, so the best houses may only list once a decade.

Daily errands, coffee and dinner
Day to day: plan your groceries: the nearest large supermarket is 1.8 km away; this is not a going-out neighborhood — the cafés are elsewhere.
The practical checklist most buyers forget to make: pharmacy 22 min walk · GP 30 min · hospital 2.0 km · library 2.9 km. None of these will decide a purchase on their own, but a GP taking new patients nearby is the kind of thing you only miss after moving.
Families and schools
For families: the nearest primary school is 6 minutes on foot; daycare is 0.9 km away — check waiting lists early, they are long everywhere in the Netherlands; secondary school is an 8-minute bike ride, which Dutch teenagers do in all weather.
Getting around
Getting around: the station is an 11-minute cycle, standard Dutch commuting range; a highway on-ramp 0.6 km away makes car trips easy — check whether through-traffic noise reaches the street you're considering; households here average 1.1 cars, so assume driveways and parking are part of daily logistics.
Energy and running costs
100% of homes were built before 2000. Two identical-looking houses on the same street can differ by hundreds of euros a month once heating is counted — the energy label tells you which one you're looking at, and lenders increasingly price it into your mortgage too.
Before you bid in Maliskamp west
Before you bid in Maliskamp west: in a premium buurt the risk isn't buying a bad home, it's overpaying for a good one — anchor your bid on recent sales of comparable homes, not on the asking price.
None of these averages can tell you whether the specific house you found is fairly priced — that depends on its size, energy label, state of maintenance and the recent sales around it. That is exactly what a free HomeReview report checks, in about 10 seconds, for any Dutch address.
