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.
