The price is on the high side compared to other end-of-terrace houses in Eindhoven. However, the large plot of 917 m² and the A+ energy label are exceptional features that justify a premium. Without comparable sales data for Karpen specifically, it's hard to say exactly how it stacks up, but the combination of size, efficiency, and location in a quiet neighbourhood makes it a distinctive property.
The energy label is A+, which is very efficient. This means the home has excellent insulation and likely uses modern heating and ventilation systems. Running costs for heating and electricity should be relatively low compared to older homes. The label is based on the building's characteristics and is a strong selling point.
The plot measures 917 m², which is very generous for an end-of-terrace house. The listing does not specify how the garden is laid out, but the size offers plenty of outdoor space for gardening, play, or even extending the home, subject to planning permission. The exact possibilities depend on local zoning rules.
Karpen is a quiet, family-friendly neighbourhood with many single-family homes and a high proportion of owner-occupiers.

Very nice neighbourhood to live in (old Tongelre). There is plenty to do in the area, for young and old. Supermarkets nearby, bus nearby. Everything is within walking or cycling distance... and of course by car as well.
Auto-translated to English by AIQuite boring because it's more on the outskirts of the city and feels more like a village, but it is quite quiet
Auto-translated to English by AII've been living here for a year now, and it's an affordable place to live in Eindhoven. Clearly a lower-income household area, but definitely safe and pleasant. Supermarkets are always nearby; I personally would have liked more recreational facilities, such as sports. I'm also quite disappointed in the accessibility by public transport. There is only one bus in my neighbourhood, which runs only once an hour during many parts of the day. It only goes to the station. I would have liked to see more buses with different routes and destinations running more frequently. There is plenty of green space in principle, which is very nice, but I would have liked to see more larger walking areas with routes, especially on the edge of the city.
Auto-translated to English by AII can just walk safely on the street at night, I never had that feeling in Woensel Zuid (Kronehoeve). Many families live here, a few students. You're in nature in no time, lovely place to live.

How residents experience their municipality
Nice 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.
Auto-translated to English by AIPeople are becoming increasingly distant. More and more (sometimes) unjustified urgent cases. Not good. The neighbourhood is being taken over by too many nationalities, who don't seek contact. Parking problems due to charging stations.
