A new-build apartment in Strijp S
This brand-new apartment on Machinekamerplein sits in the middle of Strijp S, the former Philips factory grounds turned creative hub. The building is from 2025, so everything is fresh and unused. With 68 m² of floor space, it is a compact but well-thought-out home. The rent of €1,842 is on the high side compared with the average of €1,795 for rentals in the neighbourhood, but the new build and energy label A++ explain part of that. For context, apartments in Eindhoven rent for an average of €23.41 per m², and this one comes in at about €27 per m².
The Strijp S neighbourhood
Strijp S is a young, lively area, and the figures back that up: 74% of residents are between 25 and 45, and 69% of households are single-person. It is a place where people know each other, as one resident puts it: "Good neighbourhood. Young people. Always helpful and up for a chat." The same resident adds a note of caution: "The building often has trouble with loitering youths who come onto our rooftop terrace and leave all sorts of things behind or cause damage." That is based on a single review, so it is one perspective rather than a pattern. The Strijp S neighbourhood is clearly a place in transition, with a mix of old industrial buildings and new residential blocks.
Life on the street
The daily routine here is easy. For bread and groceries, the Albert Heijn is just around the corner, and a Jumbo is a couple of streets away. For school runs, the primary school 't Palet is a ten-minute walk, and the secondary school SintLucas is even closer. The train station is a ten-minute walk away, which makes commuting straightforward. The municipality of Eindhoven has a strong reputation for design and technology, and Strijp S is very much part of that story.
