The asking price is 75% above the neighbourhood average of €799,286, making it the most expensive home currently for sale in Witte Dame. However, the apartment is also 53% larger than the average (190 m² vs 124 m²) and has an A energy label, which is rare for a building from 1921. Whether it is fair depends on how much the landmark status and extra space are worth to you.
Witte Dame is a very densely populated city-centre area with a young, professional population. Most residents live alone, and the average household size is just 1.5. It is not a family-oriented neighbourhood, only 125 households have children. The area is known for its creative and tech scene, with many restaurants and cultural spots within walking distance.
The apartment has an A energy label, which is excellent for a building constructed in 1921. In the neighbourhood, 42.9% of homes have an A+ label and 28.6% have an A label, so this home is among the most efficient in the area. You can expect low heating costs and a comfortable indoor climate.
Eindhoven's central train station is 1.4 km away, about a ten-minute walk. The neighbourhood is very well connected, with bus stops likely nearby given the high address density.
Yes, several. A Jumbo is just 166 m away, a SPAR at 315 m, and an Albert Heijn at 336 m. There is also an AH to go at 375 m and another Jumbo at 483 m. Daily shopping is very convenient.
The nearest primary school is Basisschool Anton van Duinkerken at 537 m, followed by Fellenoord at 620 m and Saltomontessorischool de Trinoom at 635 m. All are within a ten-minute walk. Secondary schools are a bit further, at 1.6 km on average.
The data records 1,068 total crimes in the neighbourhood, but without a per-capita rate or comparison, it is hard to judge. As a city-centre area with high density and nightlife, some noise and petty crime are common. It is always a good idea to visit at different times of day to get a feel for the area.

Very peaceful and relaxed. As it's inside the university, mostly people associated with the university are around.

How residents experience their municipality
Door de vele hoge struiken en bomen langs de straten waar veel doorgaand verkeer doorheen gaat, en slechte avondverlichting geeft een onveilig gevoel.
Auto-translated to English by AINice 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 AIA 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 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 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.
