Neighbourhoods in Son en Breugel: where do you want to live?

The municipality consists of two villages, each with its own character. The overall resident rating on Buurtje.nl is 8.4 out of 10, with notably high scores for green spaces (9.3) and beauty (9.3). Accessibility even scores 9.0, which is not surprising given the direct connection to the A50 and the short distance to Eindhoven Central. Below is an overview of the two villages.

Son, the lively heart of the municipality

The village of Son is the largest village and scores 8.4 from residents based on 3 reviews. Here you will find the most amenities: supermarkets, the shopping centre on Europalaan, primary schools and sports clubs. Son has a mix of older family homes and newer apartments, making it interesting for both families and couples. Residents particularly appreciate the green surroundings and the peace, despite the good accessibility. One resident describes it as a place where you "have the feeling of a village, but are in the centre of Eindhoven within ten minutes". The area around Kerkplein and the Dommel banks is popular with people who enjoy walking and cycling. If you are considering renting an apartment in Son en Breugel, this is the village where most supply is found.

Breugel, village-like and green

The village of Breugel is smaller and even more rural. The village has its own church, a primary school and a few local shops, but for larger shopping trips you go to Son or Eindhoven. Breugel mainly attracts families with children looking for space and greenery. The houses here are generally larger and the streets quieter. The Sonse Bos and the Dommel are within walking distance, which explains the high score for green spaces (9.3). The rental supply in Breugel is even more limited than in Son, so be prepared to be patient.

What stands out about both villages is the strong sense of community. The score for community is 8.3, and residents frequently mention involvement in local events and clubs. Education and amenities score slightly lower at 7.3, which is logical for a smaller municipality. For secondary schools, pupils rely on Eindhoven or Best.
