Living in Best: multicultural, quiet and well-connected
Residents give Best on Buurtje.nl a 7.7 out of 10. What immediately stands out in the scores: amenities score a 9.0 and accessibility an 8.3. That is no coincidence. Best has its own NS station with direct connections to Eindhoven and Tilburg, and the A2 and A58 are a stone's throw away. Resident Marian Damen (10/10) sums it up succinctly: "It is a nice neighbourhood with a school, shops, forests and a station." She has lived there for years and knows many neighbours personally, although she also notes parking problems due to a shortage of parking spaces in the neighbourhood.
The atmosphere varies per neighbourhood. In Kantonnier, residents describe a quiet, tidy environment with good accessibility by bike or car. At the same time, there is a nuance: Maartje Hendrikx (6.5/10) notes that many international residents live there and that there is little mixing between groups. "It is therefore very varied but not very cosy," she writes. The community score of 6.4 confirms that picture. Best is not a neighbourhood where you automatically drop in on the neighbours, but rather a place where people keep to themselves and are fine with that.
In terms of green space, Best scores a 7.0. The Oirschotse Heide and the Wilhelminakanaal are nearby for walkers and cyclists. Shopping is done in the centre, where most daily amenities are located. If you want more choice, you can drive to Eindhoven in ten minutes. The beauty score of 8.6 is remarkably high. Resident LM notes that work is making the neighbourhood increasingly beautiful, but also warns of occasional crime. Safety scores an 8.0, which is above average. If you are considering renting in the Centre, you will be closest to the station and shops. Neighbourhoods such as Naastenbest and Batadorp are greener and quieter. More information about the municipality of Best and local policy can also be found on the municipal website.
