The average income in Begijnenbroek (€34,700) is also lower than the municipal average of €38,200.

Begijnenbroek: cosy but with rough edges
Residents rate the Begijnenbroek neighbourhood on Buurtje.nl with a 7.4 out of 10. However, that average does not tell the whole story. Accessibility scores notably high (8.8) and that makes sense: the neighbourhood is centrally located in Eindhoven, with good bus connections and quick access to the ring road. Resident Elisabeth Timmermans calls it "a pleasant living environment for seniors with all amenities within easy reach." The safety score is also above average at 8.5, something resident Timmem confirms: "I feel safe and protected."
But there are clear pain points. The scores for beauty (6.5) and amenities (6.5) stand out, and reading the reviews explains why. Resident Eddie describes how around the flats it has become "a terrible mess" because residents place rubbish bags next to the underground containers instead of in them. Jos Wassink warns of "too many homes with difficult cases and too many slumlords." These are sounds you should take seriously if you are looking for a rental home here, especially in the apartment buildings that make up a large part of the housing stock.
The neighbourhood consists of several sub-areas, each with its own character. In the Generalenbuurt you will find mainly single-family homes, while Oude Gracht-West and the east side of Oude Gracht have more flats. The green Eckartdal on the edge of the neighbourhood offers a completely different living experience, quieter and more spacious. The education score of 8.3 is a plus for families: there are several primary schools in the immediate vicinity. Those who want to know more about the municipal plans for the neighbourhood can visit the website of the municipality of Eindhoven.

Too many houses with difficult cases and too many slumlords
Auto-translated to English by AIIn recent years it has become a terrible mess. And when it comes to the flats (most of the homes), this is because many newer residents leave their rubbish next to the underground containers instead of putting it in. It doesn't fit, for example, because people fill the rubbish bags far too full. Also, a huge number of younger people have come to live here, while the flats were actually intended for seniors. This manifests itself particularly in noise nuisance, in directly adjacent homes. And this to the extreme, you can hear each other talking, farting, etc. etc....
