With 87% 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.
Who lives here

The average household counts 2.6 people.
As for who your neighbors would be: 44% of households are among the country's highest earners — which helps explain both the café density and the bidding behavior; average income per resident is €41,000 a year.
Daily errands, coffee and dinner
Day to day: the nearest large supermarket is about 7 minutes' walk; dining out means a short trip: only 3 cafés or restaurants sit within a kilometer.
The practical checklist most buyers forget to make: pharmacy 7 min walk · GP 6 min · hospital 3.6 km · library 4.6 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 well covered (3 locations nearby) — though Dutch waiting lists mean you register the week you know you're expecting, not the week you need it; secondary school is a 4-minute bike ride, which Dutch teenagers do in all weather.
Getting around
Getting around: the nearest train station is 5.6 km out, so day-to-day life here leans on the car or bus; a highway on-ramp 1.9 km away makes car trips easy — check whether through-traffic noise reaches the street you're considering; households here average 1.4 cars, so assume driveways and parking are part of daily logistics.
Energy and running costs
Since 77% of the stock predates 2000, always check the energy label of a specific listing — the difference between label C and label F on an average home here is easily a few thousand euros a year in heating, and it changes what you can sensibly bid.
Before you bid in Blixembosch-Oost
Before you bid in Blixembosch-Oost: 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. Also, family neighborhoods like this one turn over slowly; when a good house appears it often goes to the first serious, well-prepared bidder.
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.
