Living in Meerveldhoven, Veldhoven
Meerveldhoven is a quiet, largely post-war residential neighbourhood on the southwest side of Veldhoven. The neighbourhood has a distinct character: many ground-level homes from the 1960s and 1970s, terraced houses and semi-detached houses, interspersed with porch flats and some newer apartment complexes.
