A green corner of Eindhoven
This rental apartment on Breitnerstraat sits in the Irisbuurt, a leafy pocket of Oud-Stratum where the streets feel calm and settled. At €755 a month, the rent sat well below the neighbourhood average, which made it a keen option for anyone looking at apartments in Eindhoven. The home itself is a social housing unit, so it comes with that context attached. This home has not been online since 28 September 2026.
The Irisbuurt
The Irisbuurt neighbourhood has a small but positive reputation among residents. One resident says: "I've known this neighbourhood in Eindhoven for a while, but I've been living here myself for a few months now. I moved here from a less pleasant area and the difference is noticeable. Apart from occasional nuisance from motorbikes and partying people from Stratum, this neighbourhood is really great. Lots of greenery, close to the station and the Jumbo, it's very nice." Another adds: "I think the neighbourhood is beautiful because it is very green. There is also one very nice playground with a dog poo field and a log cabin with fun activities." Based on two reviews, the picture is of a green, friendly area with a few minor noise complaints. The local population skews young, with many single-person households.
Life on the street
Daily errands are straightforward from here. The Jumbo is just around the corner for groceries, with an Ekoplaza a bit further along and an Albert Heijn within a ten-minute walk. For school runs, SALTO-school Reigerlaan is a couple of streets away, and the Augustinianum secondary school is also close by. The train station is about a ten-minute walk, which makes getting out of the neighbourhood easy. The municipality of Eindhoven has plenty going on, but this corner feels a step removed from the busier centre.
