Living in Het Ven, Eindhoven
Het Ven is a typical post-war residential neighbourhood in the southwest of Eindhoven, located within the Halve Maan district. The neighbourhood was largely built in the 1950s and 1960s and consists of a mix of porch flats, terraced houses and some newer apartment complexes. The streets are relatively wide, there is plenty of greenery between the housing blocks, and the atmosphere is quiet without being boring. With 3,690 residents, it is a compact neighbourhood where you get to know your neighbours, but you can also easily go your own way. The largest age group is 25 to 45 years (1,230 residents), but you will also find families with children and a sizeable group of over-65s. Single-person households form the majority (950 out of the total), so if you are looking for a rental home on your own, you will not stand out here.
