Living in Veghel Centrum, Meierijstad
Veghel Centrum is the beating heart of the former municipality of Veghel, now part of the merged municipality of Meierijstad. The neighbourhood has a distinct centre character: compact buildings, a mix of older properties from the 1950s and 1960s and later additions, and a lively mix of shops, catering establishments and homes. It is not a quiet residential neighbourhood in the traditional sense, but a neighbourhood where everything is within walking distance and where it is busy on the streets during the day.
The types of homes in the centre range from porch apartments and upstairs homes above shops to smaller ground-floor homes in side streets such as the Markt and the area around the Corridor. New-build is limited, but a few apartment projects have been added on the edge of the centre in recent years. As a result, the neighbourhood attracts a varied audience: from starters who want to live close to amenities to seniors who prefer to leave the car at home.

The density of amenities is one of the strongest points of this neighbourhood. Supermarkets such as Albert Heijn and Jumbo are within walking distance.

Residents appreciate the central location and the proximity of amenities, but sometimes mention the parking pressure and the daytime bustle as less pleasant aspects of living in the centre.
