Cobbeek en Centrum, Veldhoven
NeighbourhoodThis apartment on Braak sits in the heart of Veldhoven, where the streets are lively and everything you need is close by. At 50 m² it's a compact home, but with a smart layout it feels perfectly liveable. The asking price of €269,000 is notably lower than the neighbourhood average of €428,000, partly because the home is smaller than the typical 103 m² in the area.

The neighbourhood Cobbeek en Centrum is a mixed urban area with around 4,000 residents. It's a fairly dense neighbourhood, with many singles and smaller households. Based on three reviews, opinions vary: one resident says 'It's wonderful living here. Everything is well organised, but the only problem is the cyclists and loitering youths in the centre.' Another describes it as 'Fine, really. Everyone is nice and friendly. Just sometimes a few strange things.' A third review is less positive, mentioning a difficult neighbour situation. So it's a neighbourhood with character, you'll find a real mix of experiences.
For daily shopping, Jumbo is just around the corner and Albert Heijn is a couple of streets away. There are several primary schools within walking distance: Protestantse Basisschool De Rank is a five-minute walk, and Rooms-Katholieke Basisschool De Meerhoef is about ten minutes away. The municipality Veldhoven has a compact centre with restaurants and a library nearby, so you won't need the car for most errands.

Auto-translated to English by AIHaving a mentally disturbed person living below me, I don't enjoy living here. I am constantly harassed over every little thing and she keeps ringing my doorbell. The housing association, police, and municipality know about her but do nothing. First there have to be victims before they intervene. I am already working on a house swap; I will jump for joy when I am out of here.
