I've known this neighbourhood in Eindhoven for a while, but I've been living here myself for a few months now. I moved here from a less pleasant area and the difference is noticeable. Apart from occasional nuisance from motorbikes and partying people from Stratum, this neighbourhood is really great. Lots of greenery, close to the station and the Jumbo, it's very nice.
Auto-translated to English by AII think the neighbourhood is beautiful because it is very green. There is also one very nice playground with a dog poo field and a log cabin with fun activities.

About Methusalemplein 3, Eindhoven
The asking price of €339,000 is 39% below the neighbourhood average of €558,333, which makes it keen compared to other homes in the Irisbuurt.

Given the green setting and good energy label, it represents solid value.
The apartment has energy label B, which is efficient. In the Irisbuurt, 41.2% of homes have label A and 17.6% have label B, so this home is above average for efficiency. You can expect moderate energy bills, though exact costs depend on usage.
