Living in Bosrijk, Eindhoven
Bosrijk is one of the quietest and greenest neighbourhoods in Eindhoven, located in the district Meerhoven on the west side of the city.

The homes are predominantly spacious detached houses, semi-detached houses and a few terraced houses, almost all owner-occupied. Anyone looking for a rental home here will typically find large family homes with a garden, as apartments are rare in this part of the district.
