Rental homes in Tempel, Eindhoven

Rental prices and market figures Tempel, Eindhoven

This makes social housing the dominant form of living here, distinguishing the neighbourhood from many other Eindhoven neighbourhoods. The average WOZ value is €327,000, clearly lower than the municipal average of €360,000 and well below the district average of Aanschot (€415,000). This difference says something about the type of housing and construction period, but also about the relative affordability of the area.

In the private sector (excluding social housing), 13 homes were rented out in Tempel over the past twelve months. The average rent in the private sector was €1,880 per month, with a range from €995 to €2,350 per month. With an average surface area of 109 m², this amounts to approximately €17.25 per m² per month. This is on the higher side for a neighbourhood with relatively low WOZ values, indicating that the private sector supply here concerns a specific segment.

Living in Tempel, Eindhoven

Tempel is located in the northwest of Eindhoven, as part of the district Aanschot. The neighbourhood has a distinct post-war character: most homes date from the 1960s and 1970s and consist of porch flats, gallery flats and terraced houses. They are not spectacular buildings, but the scale is human and the streets are spacious with plenty of greenery in between. For those looking for a quiet, green living environment without the hustle and bustle of the city centre, this neighbourhood offers just that.

The population composition is varied. With over 5,100 residents, Tempel is a medium-sized neighbourhood with a broad age distribution. The 25 to 45 age group is the largest, but those aged 45 and over and seniors are also well represented. Almost one in five households is a single-person household (940 units), which aligns with the large share of rental homes and apartments.

Facilities in Tempel

For daily groceries, you hardly need to leave Tempel. Supermarkets are accessible in and directly around the neighbourhood, including branches of Albert Heijn and Jumbo within a short cycling distance. For more extensive shopping trips, Woensel shopping centre is a few minutes' drive away, one of the largest covered shopping centres in North Brabant. Schools are nearby: several primary schools are within walking distance, and secondary schools are accessible in the immediate vicinity. In terms of sports, the neighbourhood offers access to various sports clubs for football, tennis and other sports, and the Philips Sports Complex is a short distance away. Genneper Park, one of the largest city parks in Eindhoven, borders the wider region and is easily reachable by bike for those who want to walk, exercise or relax along the Dommel.

Accessibility of Tempel

Tempel is fairly centrally located in the city but does not have its own train station. Eindhoven Station is about four to five kilometres away, accessible by bus or bike in around twenty minutes. Several bus lines connect the neighbourhood to the city centre and other districts. By car, the location is favourable: the A2 and A50 are quickly reachable via the Ring Road, making travel towards Den Bosch, Venlo or Tilburg easy. Cyclists benefit from Eindhoven's extensive cycling infrastructure; the centre is about three to four kilometres away and easily accessible via separate cycle paths. Parking is free and without a permit requirement in most streets of Tempel, which is a practical advantage for car owners compared to neighbourhoods closer to the centre.

What residents appreciate and criticise

Residents mention the peace, space and accessibility as strong points. On the neighbourhood page of Tempel, reviews and neighbourhood data can be found that provide an honest picture. One resident writes: "Tempel is a quiet, green neighbourhood where you can live peacefully, but you do need a bike or car for the real city life." Criticisms sometimes concern the outdated appearance of some apartment blocks and the limited supply of hospitality and evening activities within the neighbourhood itself.

For comparison: sister neighbourhood Woenselse Heide has a similar green character but a slightly different housing mix. Blixembosch-West and Blixembosch-Oost are newer neighbourhoods with more owner-occupied homes and a different atmosphere. For those looking for a slightly livelier environment within the same district, you can also look at the supply in rental homes in Aanschot as a whole.

Does a rental home in Tempel suit you?

Tempel mainly appeals to people who value peace and space over urban liveliness. Families find the space and schools they are looking for.
