White houses, green lanes and an Italian feel: how residents live in Oud-Stratum

On the neighbourhood page of Oud-Stratum, residents rate their neighbourhood an 8.3 out of 10. What immediately stands out is the high score for greenery: a 9.3. That is no coincidence. Oud-Stratum borders the Stadswandelpark and the Philips de Jonghpark, and the neighbourhoods themselves are crisscrossed with wide lanes, old trees and green front gardens. Resident Ger-Jan van Gulick, who has lived there since 1994, puts it aptly: "In summer, you feel like you're in Italy or Greece because of the white houses." He gives the neighbourhood a 9.1 and never wants to leave. The neighbourhood watch is active and residents keep a close eye on everything, according to him.

Yuna, who recently moved there from a less pleasant neighbourhood, confirms the difference: "Apart from occasional noise from motorbikes and partygoers from Stratum, this neighbourhood is really top-notch." That honesty characterises the neighbourhood. You are close to the Stratumseind nightlife area, which can be audible on Friday and Saturday nights, especially in the area around the Joriskwartier and the Rochusbuurt. But once you are a few streets further, in Elzent-Noord or Tuindorp, it is quiet and green.

In terms of accessibility, the neighbourhood scores an 8.0. Eindhoven Central Station is within cycling distance (five to ten minutes), and the A2/N2 ring road is quickly accessible via the Insulindelaan. Daily shopping can be done on the Stratumseind or at the supermarkets along the Leenderweg. Amenities score an 8.3 among residents, and that is accurate: GPs, schools, and restaurants are all within walking distance. The average income in the neighbourhood (€43,400) is above the Eindhoven average of €38,200, and 53% of residents are highly educated. This gives the neighbourhood a certain calm and involvement that you notice in the streetscape.

Renting in Oud-Stratum: for whom and for whom not?

With an average rent of over €1,500 in the free sector, renting an apartment in Oud-Stratum is not for every budget. The neighbourhood mainly attracts working professionals, expats working at ASML, Philips or the High Tech Campus, and dual-income couples without children. The largest age group (25-45 years) confirms that picture. If you are a starter with a modest budget, the social housing stock is limited (21% housing association ownership) and waiting times are long. In that case, consider Doornakkers or De Laak, where prices are lower. If you are looking for space and ownership, check the supply of homes for sale in Oud-Stratum. For families with school-age children, the neighbourhood is well suited: education scores an 8.0 and there are several primary schools in the immediate vicinity.
