Living in Muschberg Geestenberg

The streetscape is defined by a mix of post-war terraced houses and porch flats from the 1960s and 1970s, supplemented by newer single-family homes around the Geestenbergweg and Muschbergweg. The architecture is sober, the gardens are well-maintained, and there is plenty of greenery between the buildings.

The Karpendonkse Plas and the adjacent green area are within walking distance and are popular with runners and walkers.

I've been living here for a year now, and it's an affordable place to live in Eindhoven. Clearly a lower-income household area, but definitely safe and pleasant. Supermarkets are always nearby; I personally would have liked more recreational facilities, such as sports. I'm also quite disappointed in the accessibility by public transport. There is only one bus in my neighbourhood, which runs only once an hour during many parts of the day. It only goes to the station. I would have liked to see more buses with different routes and destinations running more frequently. There is plenty of green space in principle, which is very nice, but I would have liked to see more larger walking areas with routes, especially on the edge of the city.
Auto-translated to English by AII can just walk safely on the street at night, I never had that feeling in Woensel Zuid (Kronehoeve). Many families live here, a few students. You're in nature in no time, lovely place to live.
