Brandevoort

Brandevoort is a district located in the municipality of Helmond, North Brabant, Netherlands. It is situated to the east of the city center of Helmond. The area was developed as a new residential district starting in the late 1990s and early 2000s. Its development was characterized by a focus on creating a village-like atmosphere with distinct neighborhoods and green spaces.

The design of Brandevoort aimed to offer a high quality of life, incorporating a variety of housing types. The district features a mix of single-family homes, apartments, and some social housing. A notable aspect of Brandevoort is its emphasis on car-free living in certain parts of the neighborhood, with underground parking facilities and pedestrian-friendly streets. This contributes to a quieter and safer environment.

Brandevoort is organized into several smaller hamlets or neighborhoods, each with its own character and identity. These include the "Hofkwartier," "Schepenkwartier," and "Buitenwoel," among others. The district includes amenities such as schools, shops, and recreational facilities, designed to serve its growing population. Green corridors and water features are integrated throughout Brandevoort, enhancing its appeal and providing natural spaces for residents. The district continues to evolve as new phases of development are completed.
