Living in Grasrijk, Eindhoven

Grasrijk is one of the newer neighbourhoods within Meerhoven, largely built from the early 2000s onwards. The neighbourhood is recognisable by its spacious layout with wide avenues, plenty of greenery and water features. The streetscape consists of detached homes, semi-detached houses and terraced houses, interspersed with a smaller number of apartments. The architecture is modern but varied, meaning the neighbourhood does not have the uniform feel you find in some other Vinex districts. With nearly 6,000 residents, the largest group being between 25 and 45 years old, and as many as 1,150 households with children, Grasrijk is a typical family neighbourhood. Resident Mark describes it as: "A beautiful, quiet, clean and spacious neighbourhood. I experience the area as safe and child-friendly." The international character is striking: due to the proximity of the High Tech Campus and ASML, many expats live here, and you often hear English spoken on the streets.

Facilities in Grasrijk

The Meerhoven shopping centre on Meerhovendreef is the nearest place for daily groceries, with an Albert Heijn and a Lidl among others. There you will also find a GP, pharmacy and some catering establishments. Within the neighbourhood itself, facilities are more limited, which explains the partial score of 7.0 for facilities. In terms of education, Grasrijk scores remarkably high (9.5): primary schools such as De Ontdekking and the international school ISE (International School Eindhoven) are within walking or cycling distance. For sports and recreation, there is the Meerhoven Sports Park and the adjacent Aanschot area with walking and cycling paths. The Aquabest swimming pool is about a ten-minute drive away.

Accessibility of Grasrijk

The neighbourhood is conveniently located for motorists: the A2/A67 can be reached via Meerhovendreef in a few minutes. Eindhoven Airport is literally around the corner, although residents say you hardly notice it in terms of noise. By bus (line 401 towards Eindhoven station) you can reach the city centre in about 20 minutes. Eindhoven Strijp-S station is within cycling distance, about 15 minutes. Cycling to the city centre takes fifteen to twenty minutes via well-maintained cycle paths along the Beatrixkanaal. Parking in Grasrijk is largely free on private property or on the street, without a permit system. This is a major difference from neighbourhoods closer to the centre, such as in the Centrum district.

Resident experience and comparison with surrounding neighbourhoods

Residents give Grasrijk an 8.6 out of 10. Safety (9.0), beauty (9.0) and education (9.5) score particularly highly. Resident Leonie calls it "a nice neighbourhood, friendly people, a child-rich neighbourhood with little nuisance." Compared to other neighbourhoods within Meerhoven, Grasrijk has a greener and more spacious character than, for example, Zandrijk, which is more compactly built. Waterrijk shares the green character but has more water features as a central theme. For those looking for a rental home with more activity in the area, Flight Forum is an alternative, although that is more of a work location than a residential neighbourhood.
