Blaarthem, Eindhoven
This apartment on Offenbachlaan sits in Blaarthem, a corner of Eindhoven with a distinctly urban feel. At €730 a month, the rent sits well below the neighbourhood average, which makes it a keen option for anyone looking to keep housing costs down. The 64 m² floor area is generous compared with other rentals in the area, and the home is part of the social housing stock. For context, apartments in Eindhoven vary widely in price, so this one stands out for its affordability.
Blaarthem is a compact neighbourhood with a mix of housing, though flats and apartments dominate the rental market here. The area is home to around 2,500 people, with a high share of single-person households, which gives it a quieter, more independent character. There are no resident reviews available for this neighbourhood, so the picture here comes from the figures alone. The streets are well used, and the urbanity level is high, meaning shops and services are never far away. The Blaarthem neighbourhood is one of the more densely populated parts of the city.
The morning routine is straightforward from Offenbachlaan. A Lidl is just around the corner for groceries, with an Albert Heijn a couple of streets away and a Jumbo within a ten-minute walk. For school runs, Basisschool Karel de Grote is on your doorstep, and there are several secondary schools within a short stroll, including Parmant Joris and the Christiaan Huygens Lyceum. A park or green space is a five-minute walk away, and a restaurant is just around the corner for an easy evening out.

About Offenbachlaan 406, Eindhoven
The rent of €730 is well below the average for rentals in Blaarthem, which sits at €1,596 per month. The floor area of 64 m² is also larger than the neighbourhood average of 50 m². Given these figures, the rent is on the low side compared with what else is available in the area, though this is a social housing listing, which explains the lower price.
The energy label is C. This is an official registration, recorded in the national energy label database. A C label sits in the middle of the scale, meaning the home is neither the most nor the least efficient. You can expect moderate energy costs compared with the most efficient homes, though the exact amount will depend on your usage.
A Lidl is about 500 metres from the home, which is roughly a five-minute walk. An Albert Heijn is slightly further at around 570 metres, and a Jumbo is about 850 metres away. For daily groceries, you have several options within a short walk, which makes the location practical for everyday shopping.
Basisschool Karel de Grote is about 270 metres away, making it a short walk for primary school children. For secondary education, Parmant Joris is around 600 metres away, and the Christiaan Huygens Lyceum is about 700 metres. Several other schools are within a reasonable distance, so there are options for different ages.
At 64 m², this apartment is about 28% larger than the average rental in Blaarthem, which comes to 50 m². That makes it a roomier option than much of what is currently available to rent in the neighbourhood. The extra space is notable given the rent, which is below the local average.
Blaarthem has a high proportion of single-person households, at 55% of all households. Around 23% of households have children, and 22% are couples without children. The average household size is 1.7 people, which reflects the mix of smaller households in the area. This gives the neighbourhood a varied but largely adult character.

How residents experience their district
Quiet, relaxing neighbourhood found
Auto-translated to English by AIUnfortunately there is little to no contact with the neighbours and it can be very busy outside in the evenings, but it is a nice neighbourhood with plenty of shops nearby
Auto-translated to English by AINice and quick access to nature. Pleasant communities at the thrift stores and among the students. The odd-job bus initiative is also great. Occasionally some nuisance from homeless people near Sibeliuslaan.
Auto-translated to English by AII've lived here for 10 years now and I notice there's little contact with neighbours and people on the street, also there are more frequent stabbings around the corner. Not the nicest neighbourhood

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 AIVery safe and protected for my children, nice neighbours
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.
