Living in Burghplan, Eindhoven

Is renting in Burghplan right for you?
Burghplan is most suitable for starters, young workers and small households who want to rent affordably in Eindhoven without being far from the centre.

For free-sector homes: respond quickly to available rental properties, as supply is limited (14 homes rented out in the past year). Make sure you have income statements and references at hand.

Those considering social housing should register with Wooniezie or another active housing association in the Eindhoven region.

Good, but too few Dutch people, many don't speak the Dutch language. Lots of rubbish on the street, dumping spots! Every day! Poorly maintained front gardens and alleys or too much paving. People drive too fast. Poor maintenance of paving in the streets and pavements. Too much bread, food scraps and cigarette butts on the pavements near the benches, attracting vermin, too many pigeons and crows! Dog poo also on the dog walking field! Otherwise, nice contact with people from the neighbourhood. Things are also organised in the neighbourhood.
Auto-translated to English by AIToo much rubbish on the street, people don't speak Dutch, front gardens poorly maintained, many houses long unoccupied because people go to their home country or elsewhere, only an AH, further there are activities but unfortunately mostly for the kids! People dump waste at the Action car park, the park here is great! Short distance from Eindhoven city centre, good bus connection, contacts in the neighbourhood are good. Hygiene needs to be better here and no more rubbish on the streets, more bins. And more Dutch people in the neighbourhood again!
Auto-translated to English by AII've been living in this neighbourhood for 3 years and I think it's a very nice place. The park is kind of our front garden, people in the neighbourhood organise barbecues and there are plenty of things to do, e.g. the playground in the park, restaurants, a music lab and there are also about 3 or 4 schools in the area. I personally think it's a nice place with lots of nature, but there is quite a lot of rubbish on the ground. Cans, bits of paper, that sort of thing. Apparently there are only 2 bins on the street. That's the only downside of the neighbourhood! But otherwise I think it's well organised. Greetings Julia!
