A social rental flat in Eckart
This two-bedroom apartment on Venuslaan sits in Eckart, a residential part of Eindhoven with a mix of ages and household types. At €950 a month, the rent sat well below the neighbourhood average of €2,325, which made sense given the 59 m² floor area. The home is part of the social housing stock, so eligibility rules apply. For context, apartments in Eindhoven vary widely in price, but this one was clearly on the affordable side. This home has not been online since 9 November 2026.
Life in Eckart
Eckart is a neighbourhood where families and older residents live side by side, with a third of households having children and a fifth of residents over 65. One resident review gives the area 6.5 out of 10, noting: "Due to the many tall shrubs and trees along the streets where much through traffic passes, and poor evening lighting, it gives an unsafe feeling." That is a single review, so it reflects one perspective. The neighbourhood has a mix of owner-occupied and rental homes, and the Eckart neighbourhood is home to around 4,300 people.
Daily life on Venuslaan
For daily shopping, Albert Heijn is just around the corner, with Lidl a couple of streets away. Primary school De Bijenkorf is on your doorstep, and Stedelijk College Eindhoven for secondary education is a ten-minute walk. The train station is 4.5 km away, so commuting by rail takes a bit of planning. The municipality of Eindhoven provides the wider context for these amenities.
