A brand-new apartment in Philipsdorp
This brand-new apartment on Gerard Philipslaan sits in Philipsdorp, a neighbourhood with a distinctly creative, young energy. The listing does not state an energy label, so the rest of this page focuses on the street and the neighbourhood rather than the home's technical details. At €1,289 per month, the rent sits about 15% below the neighbourhood average of €1,516, which makes it a keen option for a new-build flat. For context, apartments in Eindhoven vary widely in price, but this one is on the affordable side for the area.
The Philipsdorp neighbourhood
Philipsdorp is a compact, lively part of Eindhoven with a strong creative pulse. One resident describes it as "Hip": "You have everything in the neighbourhood: nice parks, forest, nice terraces, coffee shops and restaurants, and Strijp is a hip place for young people." That single review gives a flavour of the area, though it's based on just one opinion. The neighbourhood is home to many young adults, with a high share of single-person households and few families with children. It's a place where the average income and household size reflect a youthful, urban crowd. For more on the area, see the Philipsdorp neighbourhood.
Life on the street
Daily life here is well catered for. For groceries, Jumbo is just around the corner, with Albert Heijn and Ekoplaza a ten-minute walk away. For school runs, Fellenoord primary school is a couple of streets away, and Basisschool Trudo is also within a ten-minute walk. Secondary options like SintLucas are close too, making the area practical for families as well as young professionals. The train station is 1.7 km away, so commuting is straightforward. The wider surroundings of the municipality of Eindhoven add plenty of choice for shopping, culture and recreation.
