Genderbeemd, Eindhoven

Living in Genderbeemd

Genderbeemd is urban but not overwhelming, and the housing is dominated by single-family houses (74%), which is what draws settlers rather than passers-through.

With just 3,602 residents per km², this is space by Dutch standards.

Eindhoven's housing market rides the Brainport tech economy — ASML and its suppliers pull in international engineers on good salaries, and prices in family neighborhoods have risen accordingly. English-speaking buyers are common here, which shows in how listings are marketed.

The housing market in Genderbeemd

The average home value (WOZ) in Genderbeemd is €401,000, which puts it at #43 of 101 neighborhoods in Eindhoven — 7% pricier than most of the city. That premium is the location speaking. For scale: Eindhoven's cheapest buurt averages €173,000 and its priciest €1,417,000, so Genderbeemd sits in the middle of the pack.

The direction of the market: between 2019 and 2025 the average WOZ value here rose from €238,000 to €401,000, up 68% — faster than the city as a whole (+57%). WOZ values lag the market by about a year, but the trend itself is reliable.

With 69% 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

Demographically, Genderbeemd is shaped by people in their late twenties to early forties (30% of its 3,565 residents), followed by 45-to-65 year olds at 24%. Households split into 38% singles and 31% families with children — a real mix rather than one lifestyle. The average household counts 2.1 people.

As for who your neighbors would be: this is a neighborhood of contrasts — 34% of households are among the country's lower earners, yet the average income per resident is €35,000 a year. Social housing and expensive owner-occupied homes stand side by side here, which is common in Dutch inner cities.

Daily errands, coffee and dinner

Day to day: the nearest large supermarket is about 10 minutes' walk; dining out means a short trip: only 1 café or restaurant sit within a kilometer.

The practical checklist most buyers forget to make: pharmacy 12 min walk · GP 14 min · hospital 3.0 km · library 3.4 km · 4 cinemas within 5 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 0.6 km away — check waiting lists early, they are long everywhere in the Netherlands; secondary school is a 6-minute bike ride, which Dutch teenagers do in all weather.

Getting around

Getting around: the nearest train station is 4.6 km out, so day-to-day life here leans on the car or bus; a highway on-ramp 1.1 km away makes car trips easy — check whether through-traffic noise reaches the street you're considering; car ownership is moderate (1.0 per household).

Energy and running costs

Since 95% 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 Genderbeemd

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.
