It'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 AII have lived here myself for 16 years and have never had any trouble with anyone. You live in a quiet area with friendly people and a fair amount of greenery around you. It is also ideal for children because of all the playgrounds and parks in the area. All amenities such as shops, hairdressers and restaurants are within walking distance, which makes Zandrijk the ideal neighbourhood to live in.

Auto-translated to English by AILuckily I look out onto the water and live on a nice street with attentive neighbours, we help each other. People could however maintain their street better and put bikes in the shed instead of by the door.
Auto-translated to English by AIZandrijk is a modern neighbourhood with a lot of what you could want... it is a safe environment for the elderly, families and children alike. There are plenty of dining, travel & other amenities for people. Nearby you have a shopping centre and 2 bus stops that go directly to the city centre and the airport.
