Living in Genderdal, Eindhoven
Genderdal is located in the southwest of Eindhoven, as part of the district Oud-Gestel. The neighbourhood was largely built in the 1960s and 1970s and mainly consists of porch flats, gallery flats and a mix of terraced family homes. The streetscape is recognisably post-war: spacious green strips between the housing blocks, wide pavements and a functional layout that was considered modern at the time. This gives Genderdal a quiet, somewhat subdued character, very different from the hustle and bustle of districts like Centrum or the trendier neighbourhoods around Strijp-S.

Does renting in Genderdal suit you as a tenant?
