Hip, village-like and urban: how residents experience Oud-Strijp
Residents of Oud-Strijp give their neighbourhood an 8.0 out of 10 on Buurtje.nl, and that is no coincidence. What immediately stands out in the reviews is the mix of urban amenities and a village-like atmosphere. Resident Joep sums it up succinctly: "You have everything nearby: nice parks, forest, lovely terraces, coffee shops and restaurants, and Strijp is a hip place for young people." That hipness mainly comes from the neighbourhood Strijp S, the former Philips industrial estate that has been transformed into a creative hotspot with festivals, design studios and hospitality. But Oud-Strijp is more than just Strijp S.
Long-term resident Carola has lived there since 1988 and aptly describes it as "the convenience of the city with the cosiness of a village". In her street, everyone knows each other, there is a neighbourhood app, and barbecues are regularly organised. That sense of community is reflected in the community sub-score: 8.2 out of 10. Accessibility scores the highest with an 8.6. That makes sense, because bus stops are within walking distance and the centre of Eindhoven can be reached within a few minutes by bike. The score for education is remarkably high at 9.0, which fits a neighbourhood where many young families and starters live. The historic neighbourhood Philipsdorp still exudes the atmosphere of the old Philips era, while Engelsbergen is greener and quieter.
To be fair, there are also downsides. Resident Aiden warns that some apartment complexes suffer from loitering youth on rooftop terraces, "who leave all sorts of things behind or vandalise them". The scores for greenery and beauty (both 7.4) confirm that Oud-Strijp is not a park neighbourhood. It is urban, sometimes a bit messy, and the public space could be better maintained in places. More experiences and all sub-scores can be found on the neighbourhood page of Oud-Strijp, where residents share their honest opinions.

Auto-translated to English by AIThe fact that I've been living in the same house for over 36 years already indicates that I really enjoy it here. By now I know everyone on my street. We also hold neighbourhood barbecues, etc. There's a street app and everyone is there for each other when needed. With the arrival of a new district (Strijp-S) adjacent to our street, there has been much more hustle and bustle in the neighbourhood over the past 15 years. I experience this as very pleasant. A downside of the neighbourhood is that the small brown pubs are disappearing one by one. This is not only the case here, but across the whole country. A real shame.
Auto-translated to English by AIThe fact that I've been living here since 1988 already proves that I enjoy it here. In my own street I know everyone and we're there for each other. Almost everything I need is within walking or cycling distance. And the bus stop is also very close. A plus point is that with the arrival of the adjacent new neighbourhood Strijp-S, there's more and more to do in the area. For example, DDW is an annual recurring event that is highly represented at Strijp-S, which I always look forward to. Even though I no longer belong to the target group (60+), there is plenty to do throughout the year that I enjoy going to. The only pity is that all the small local pubs are disappearing one by one. The prices of the hospitality industry at Strijp-S are very high.
