Living in Steenweg en omgeving, Helmond
Steenweg en omgeving is a compact, predominantly mature neighbourhood close to the centre of Helmond. The name refers to the Steenweg, one of the older connecting roads that cuts through the historic heart of the city. The neighbourhood has an urban character but feels less busy than the immediate city centre. The housing stock is varied: you will find older terraced houses from the early twentieth century alongside more recent apartment complexes. It is not a new-build area, nor a typical post-war expansion neighbourhood. The mix of architectural styles gives the neighbourhood its own character.
With 1,205 residents, it is a relatively small neighbourhood. Notable is the large group of over-65s (410 people), which partly explains the quiet, subdued atmosphere.

The average income is €39,800, higher than the Helmond average of €35,000, and 43% of residents have a high level of education.
