Vlokhoven, Eindhoven
NeighbourhoodThis apartment on Hof van Olijven 4 sits in a quiet part of Vlokhoven, a neighbourhood that feels more like a village within Eindhoven. With 136 m² of living space, it is noticeably larger than the local average, and the A energy label means it is efficient to heat. The asking price of €450,000 is 15% above the neighbourhood average of €392,833, which reflects the extra space and good energy rating. For comparison, apartments in Eindhoven vary widely, but this one stands out for its size.
Vlokhoven is a mixed area with a strong urban feel, the address density is high at 3,451 addresses per km². The population is diverse: many single-person households, but also families with children. One resident describes it as "Bad", adding: "Many complainers and grumblers. No enough Parker and for students and in other streets." That is the only review, so it is a limited view. The area has a high proportion of homes built between 1970 and 1990, and most properties are owner-occupied. For more context, see the Vlokhoven neighbourhood.
Daily shopping is easy: a Jumbo is just around the corner, and an Albert Heijn and Lidl are also within a couple of streets away. For families, the nearest primary school, SALTO-school Cornelis Jetses, is a five-minute walk, and De Bijenkorf is also close. The area has a good number of restaurants within walking distance, and a park or public garden is just around the corner. The municipality of Eindhoven provides the wider amenities, including secondary schools and a library a bit further out, see the municipality of Eindhoven for more.

The asking price is 15% above the neighbourhood average of €392,833, but the apartment is also 35% larger than the average home in Vlokhoven (136 m² vs 101 m²). The energy label A is better than most homes in the area, where 50% have labels D or lower. So the price reflects the extra space and efficiency, though it is on the high side compared to other listings in the neighbourhood.
Vlokhoven is a densely populated urban area with a mix of singles and families. Most homes were built between 1970 and 1990, and about a third are owner-occupied. The one resident review mentions complainers and grumblers, and notes a lack of parking and student facilities. The area has a high crime count of 100 incidents, but also good access to shops, schools and parks.
The nearest train station is 3.7 km away, which is about a ten-minute drive or a longer cycle.
There are several primary schools within walking distance. The closest is SALTO-school Cornelis Jetses at 290 m, followed by De Bijenkorf at 599 m. Secondary education is 1.6 km away. The area has 73 schools within 5 km, so there is plenty of choice.
A Jumbo is 719 m away, an Albert Heijn is 731 m, and a Lidl is 758 m, all within a ten-minute walk. There are also two more supermarkets within 1 km, so daily groceries are convenient.
The energy label is A, which is very efficient. This means heating costs are likely to be low compared to older homes. In Vlokhoven, only 20% of homes have label A, while 50% have D or lower, so this apartment is above average in energy performance.
The floor area is 136 m², which is spacious, but the layout is not described.

How residents experience their district
A quiet neighbourhood, with nice people. Small playground, large grass field, lots of trees and bushes, many shops and schools nearby. Live close to a beautiful park with a big playground. Near GP and hospital. Neighbourhood is safe and clean. We really enjoy living here.
Auto-translated to English by AIUnfortunately, the neighbourhood is deteriorating. A lot of rubbish is dumped and the police often have to come. Education: there are schools nearby and it's green enough. Shops are conveniently close and the houses have just been completely renovated.
Auto-translated to English by AIWe live in a very nice quiet neighbourhood, we look out onto a large grass field with a playground. Have very nice neighbours. Live close to schools and shops. Park is also nearby. Plenty of greenery at the front. We all keep an eye out here for safety.
Auto-translated to English by AIIn my opinion, Prinsejagt is a nice neighbourhood to live in. It is relatively quiet for an urban area. The biggest plus is the park that surrounds the neighbourhood. Especially if, like us, you live not far from the green areas. An advantage of this is that you can more easily tell your children the area where they are allowed to play alone. As long as they stay within the main roads (Oude Bosschebaan, 1e Lieven de Keylaan and Huizingalaan), it is a safe neighbourhood. There are also disadvantages. The chosen tree species are not optimal. Roots cause problems and in summer the cars get sticky. Also, the shopping area is uninspiring. There is a Jumbo, a sushi place, a chip shop, a hairdresser, but overall it is not a nice place to spend time. Another disadvantage, and this is very personal, is the big difference in types of people. From sweet (older) people to, let's say, less well-mannered individuals.
Auto-translated to English by AII live there myself and think it's a fine neighbourhood. It's sufficiently hygienic, there is a very good primary school, it's very green, there are many amenities especially at Elckerlyclaan, it's easily accessible by public transport or other transport, sometimes it is unsafe at night.

How residents experience their municipality
Nice quiet neighbourhood, all amenities nearby.
Auto-translated to English by AIQuiet, no nuisance, sometimes difficult neighbours, otherwise everyone is very much to themselves but still always curious about what others are doing. In terms of nature, it is very extensive and there are many opportunities.
Auto-translated to English by AIIt's a beautiful, quiet, clean and spacious neighbourhood. I experience the area as safe and child-friendly. In terms of noise, it's pleasantly quiet: you hardly hear any planes, at most occasionally a military helicopter during the day. There are good schools and the neighbourhood is very international, with a nice mix of locals and knowledge migrants. This is also due to its favourable location relative to the High Tech Campus, the ASML campus and ISE. Accessibility is good, with several bus lines (401, 402, 403 and 20) and fast arterial roads towards the centre and Best. In the centre of Meerhoven there are three supermarkets (Lidl, Albert Heijn and Jumbo), a GP, dentists and childcare. By bike you can reach Strijp-S in about 10 minutes and the centre of Eindhoven in 15 to 20 minutes. In addition, there is a lot of greenery, with beautiful walking routes along the golf course and through Park Meerland. A downside is that it's not very lively: there are few activities and hardly any catering facilities. All in all, I think it's one of the better neighbourhoods in Eindhoven. The centre is easily accessible by bike and it's a good choice if you want to live quietly, without being too far from the city. If you're looking for a cosy, lively neighbourhood with lots of nightlife, Meerhoven is probably less suitable.

Auto-translated to English by AII'm constantly asking for advice. Improving the pavements and removing weeds!!! Rembrantplein and 2 other streets really need to be cleaned.! Remco van Wij Eidhoven and I have also spoken to Trudo, but they won't do anything about it.! It's not their responsibility.!! Will you please do something about this? Vaartbroek also got new paving stones. Thank you for listening.

Auto-translated to English by AIPeople are becoming increasingly distant. More and more (sometimes) unjustified urgent cases. Not good. The neighbourhood is being taken over by too many nationalities, who don't seek contact. Parking problems due to charging stations.
