Of those rental homes, 31% are owned by a housing association (social rent) and 49% belong to other landlords, indicating a large share of private and commercial rentals.

The average WOZ value in Schoot is €289,000. This is noticeably lower than the district average of Oud-Strijp (€350,000) and also lower than the municipal average of Eindhoven (€360,000).

Living in Schoot, Eindhoven

Schoot is a post-war residential neighbourhood in the Oud-Strijp district, on the west side of Eindhoven. The neighbourhood has a quiet, somewhat village-like character, with predominantly ground-floor terraced houses and single-family homes from the 1960s and 1970s. Large-scale new construction is largely absent, although the proximity of the new Strijp-S district is providing a gradual urban boost to the area.

With 3,560 inhabitants, Schoot is a medium-sized neighbourhood. The largest group of residents is between 25 and 45 years old (nearly 1,700 people), and single-person households are by far the most common (1,530 of the households). This fits a neighbourhood that is attractive to young workers and starters, but where long-term residents who know the area inside out also live.

Facilities in Schoot

For daily groceries, you can go to the supermarkets in the immediate vicinity; the Woensel-XL and various shops along the Woenselsestraat are within cycling distance. Primary schools are present in the neighbourhood and immediate surroundings, making Schoot also suitable for young families. In terms of sports, there are various clubs in the wider Oud-Strijp area, and the Philips Stadium is within cycling distance. Strijp-S, which borders Schoot, offers a growing range of catering establishments, cultural venues and creative workspaces. Green space is a relatively weak point: residents give the neighbourhood a 6.0 for green space provision, indicating that parks and public gardens are not Schoot's strongest asset.

Accessibility

The accessibility of Schoot scores well: residents give it an 8.5. Bus stops are within walking distance, and Eindhoven Central Station can be reached by bicycle in about ten to fifteen minutes. By car, the A2 and A58 are easily accessible from the neighbourhood, benefiting commuters to 's-Hertogenbosch, Tilburg or the Brainport region. Parking is still relatively freely accessible in most streets, although this can vary around busy spots. The cycling infrastructure towards the centre and Strijp-S is well developed.

Long-term resident Carola describes it aptly: "The convenience of the city with the cosiness of a village. Almost everything I need is within walking or cycling distance. And the bus stop is also very close." She has lived there since 1988, which says a lot about the living pleasure in the neighbourhood. More experiences from residents, including scores per category, can be found on the neighbourhood page of Schoot.

Compared to neighbouring communities, Schoot has its own quiet character. Strijp S is hipper and more urban, with more new-build apartments and a younger audience. Philipsdorp is a protected cityscape with characteristic workers' houses and a strong neighbourhood identity. If you are looking for a rental home in a quiet, well-connected environment without the hustle and bustle of the centre, Schoot is the place for you.

Does renting in Schoot suit you?

Schoot mainly appeals to young workers and starters who are looking for an affordable rental home in a quiet neighbourhood with a good connection to the centre. The high proportion of single-person households and the dominant age group of 25 to 45 years confirm this picture. But residents who have lived on the same street for decades also feel at home here, partly thanks to the strong neighbourhood cohesion (community score: 9.0).

If you want to rent a home in Schoot in the free sector, respond quickly: supply is limited and demand is high. Make sure you have your income documents, employer's statement and identity card ready. For a social rental home, you must be registered with Woonbedrijf or another Eindhoven housing association; waiting times can be long. As an alternative, it is also worth looking at owner-occupied homes in Schoot, although supply there is limited due to the low owner-occupancy rate of 20%. More information about living and rental policy in the city can be found on the website of the municipality of Eindhoven.
