Living in Braakhuizen-Zuid, Geldrop-Mierlo

Braakhuizen-Zuid is a predominantly quiet residential neighbourhood on the south side of Geldrop, with a mix of post-war terraced houses, porch flats and single-family homes from the 1960s and 1970s. The neighbourhood has a functional character: not a trendy district, but a place where people simply enjoy living. The atmosphere is subdued and the streets are predominantly green. With 4,020 residents, it is a medium-sized neighbourhood, where the 45 to 65 age group is the largest (over 1,000 people), followed by 25 to 45-year-olds. This gives the neighbourhood a mature, stable character. The proportion of single-person households is notably high (695 households), which means that rental homes in Braakhuizen-Zuid are also attractive for single people.

Facilities in Braakhuizen-Zuid

The accessibility of daily facilities is one of the neighbourhood's strong points. Residents themselves mention that shops are nearby, and that is correct: the shopping centre on Braakhuizerweg offers supermarket options within walking distance. For more extensive shopping, the centre of Geldrop is quickly reachable. There are several primary schools and a secondary school in the neighbourhood, which appeals to families with children. One resident writes: "children received good education at the secondary school there." Sports facilities and green spaces are present in and around the neighbourhood, although the greenery is not exceptionally lush. The scores for green space (7.0) and education (7.0) confirm that these are solid, but not outstanding, parts of the living profile.

A point of criticism that comes up in resident reviews is litter. Dora, who gives the neighbourhood a 6.8, writes: "A lot of litter in the neighbourhood." That is a concrete point of attention that is also visible in the low score for cleanliness (5.0). The municipality of Geldrop-Mierlo has a reporting point for this type of nuisance via the municipal website of Geldrop-Mierlo.

Single people and starters looking for a rental home in a quiet environment without excessively high rents will find relatively more supply here than in more expensive neighbourhoods within the municipality.
