Living in Elzent-Noord: quiet, green and close to everything

Elzent-Noord is nestled between the Boutenslaan, the Hertogstraat and the Eindhovens Kanaal, a stone's throw from the city centre. The neighbourhood has the character of a green, quiet enclave with predominantly pre-war and early post-war homes: many semi-detached and detached houses from the 1930s to 1950s, supplemented by a number of newer apartments along the edges. The avenues are wide, the gardens spacious and there are mature trees that define the streetscape. It is the type of neighbourhood where in the evening you hear little else but birds and the occasional bicycle bell.

Anyone looking for a rental home here will mainly find apartments and upper-floor flats in the free sector. Detached houses rarely come up for rent, and when they do, you quickly reach the upper end of the range. The atmosphere is more established than young and vibrant. Many residents are in their thirties and forties (the largest age group is 25-45, with 450 people), often dual-income earners or young families.

The Stadswandelpark and the Henri Dunantpark border almost directly on the neighbourhood and offer space for walking, jogging or walking the dog. Restaurants and bars are mainly found on the Stratumsedijk and in the city centre, not in the neighbourhood itself.
