Oude Toren, Eindhoven
NeighbourhoodThis 1972 apartment on Amundsenlaan sits in the Oude Toren neighbourhood, a busy urban area with a strong sense of community. At 119 m² and with an energy label C, it offers generous living space for the price. The asking price of €460,000 is slightly above the neighbourhood average of €434,462, but given the size and the fact that only 13 apartments are currently for sale in the area, it reflects the market. For context, apartments in Eindhoven tend to vary widely, so this one stands out for its floor area.

Too many houses with difficult cases and too many slumlords
Auto-translated to English by AIIn recent years it has become a terrible mess. And when it comes to the flats (most of the homes), this is because many newer residents leave their rubbish next to the underground containers instead of putting it in. It doesn't fit, for example, because people fill the rubbish bags far too full. Also, a huge number of younger people have come to live here, while the flats were actually intended for seniors. This manifests itself particularly in noise nuisance, in directly adjacent homes. And this to the extreme, you can hear each other talking, farting, etc. etc....

About Amundsenlaan 243, Eindhoven
The asking price of €460,000 is slightly above the neighbourhood average of €434,462 and the median of €449,000. However, at 119 m², it's larger than the average sold apartment (108 m²), and the price per m² (€3,866) is below the neighbourhood average of €4,180. So it's priced competitively for its size.
The apartment has energy label C. This is a common label for homes built around 1972. It means the home is reasonably efficient, but you may want to consider improvements like better insulation or double glazing to reduce energy costs. In the neighbourhood, 38.5% of homes have label C, and 23.1% have label D or lower.
The nearest train station is 1.9 km away, which is about a 20-minute walk or a short cycle. This gives you access to the national rail network.
The neighbourhood has a mix of ages, with many singles and seniors. Some residents appreciate the central location and amenities, while others mention noise nuisance and litter issues. One review says it's "centrally located, easily accessible, all amenities within reach," but another notes problems with rubbish and noise from younger residents.
The floor area of 119 m² suggests it could have multiple bedrooms, but you would need to check the layout with the agent.
The listing does not mention a garden or terrace. The plot size is not provided, so it's unclear if there is any private outdoor space. You would need to ask the agent for details.
