Living in Elzent-Zuid, Eindhoven
Elzent-Zuid is a quiet, green neighbourhood in the southern part of the Oud-Stratum district. The neighbourhood has a distinct residential character: wide streets, many detached and semi-detached houses from the 1950s and 1960s, with spacious gardens and little high-rise. If you are looking for a rental home in an environment that feels more like a quiet villa district than urban Eindhoven, this is the place for you. The buildings are predominantly of high quality, which explains the exceptionally high WOZ values.
The population composition confirms that picture. Of the 285 residents, the largest group is 65-plus (105 people). There are relatively few young people and families with children. The average income of €72,600 is almost twice as high as the Eindhoven average of €38,200. In short, Elzent-Zuid is an established, affluent neighbourhood with a calm living environment.
