The neighbourhood also scores well on education (9.0), which is logical given the proximity of primary schools and the short distance to secondary schools in Eindhoven and Valkenswaard. Accessibility scores an 8.0: via the Eindhovenseweg and the A2/A67 you are in the centre of Eindhoven within ten minutes. Public transport is available via bus lines, although Waalre is emphatically a cycling municipality. Amenities score slightly lower (7.0), and that is correct: for extensive shopping or going out you have to rely on Eindhoven. Locally, there are supermarkets and a handful of specialist shops, but do not expect a large shopping centre.
In terms of atmosphere, it varies per neighbourhood. The core of Waalre itself has a village character with older buildings and plenty of greenery. In Ekenrooi you will find more new-build homes and young families, while Aalst has its own village centre with an even more rural feel. The rural area around Verspreide huizen is truly rural. The green space scores a 7.0, which seems modest, but is because residents experience it more as "normal". The Waalre forests and the Dommeldal are literally around the corner. According to the municipality of Waalre, active investment is being made in the maintenance of nature and walking areas.
Renting in Waalre: suitable for families, less so for starters
