A modern apartment in Philipsdorp
This apartment on Gerard Philipslaan sits in Philipsdorp, a neighbourhood with a distinct character. Built in 2013, the home had an A+ energy label, which was the most efficient category, so energy costs should be modest. At €1,330 per month, the rent was exactly in line with the median for rentals in the area, and it was keenly priced given the 84 m² floor area. For context, the average rental in the neighbourhood went for €1,420, so this one sat comfortably below that. The wider market for apartments in Eindhoven shows a range of options, but this home stands out for its combination of size and efficiency. This home has not been online since 4 November 2026.
