Living in Heibunders, Meierijstad
Heibunders is a quiet residential neighbourhood on the western side of Veghel, part of the municipality of Meierijstad. The neighbourhood has a distinctly post-war character: most homes date from the 1960s and 1970s and consist mainly of terraced houses and semi-detached houses. There are hardly any large-scale apartment complexes. Anyone considering renting an apartment in Heibunders has little choice, as the housing stock largely consists of ground-floor homes.
