Living in Aarlesche Erven, Best

Aarlesche Erven is a quiet, green residential neighbourhood on the north-eastern side of Best. The neighbourhood has a distinct character: wide streets, plenty of greenery between the homes, and a mix of semi-detached and detached houses, mostly dating from the 1980s and 1990s. They are not anonymous new-build rows, but neither are they monumental canal houses. It is simply well-thought-out living in a neighbourhood where the car sits on the driveway and children play outside.

The age composition confirms that picture: the largest group of residents is aged 45 to 65, with a solid middle layer of families with children. The neighbourhood attracts people who want space, seek peace and quiet, yet do not want to live too far from the city. The average income of €44,600 is clearly above the municipal average of €39,600, and the labour participation rate of 73% is high. This translates into a well-maintained living environment.

In terms of amenities, Aarlesche Erven is not self-sufficient, but it does not need to be. The centre of Best is easily reachable by bike, with supermarkets (including an Albert Heijn and a Jumbo on the Heikant), primary schools, sports clubs and a library. So you do not necessarily have to take the car for daily shopping. Children in the neighbourhood typically attend schools in the centre of Best, such as De Regenboog or De Wegwijzer primary schools. For secondary education, the Newmancollege in Best is a popular choice.

Accessibility by car is good: the A2 towards Eindhoven and Den Bosch can be reached within a few minutes via the N2. Eindhoven city centre is about 15 minutes' drive away. Public transport is functional but not exceptional: bus line 16 connects Best with Eindhoven, and Best station offers direct train connections towards Eindhoven and Den Bosch. By bike, the station can be reached from Aarlesche Erven in a quarter of an hour.

Residents appreciate the peace and space the neighbourhood offers. On the main neighbourhood page of Aarlesche Erven you will find all resident experiences and neighbourhood scores together. One resident describes it as follows: "It is quiet here, there is a lot of greenery and the neighbours know each other. Not spectacular, but exactly what you are looking for when you are done with the hustle and bustle." Criticism sometimes focuses on the limited shopping facilities in the neighbourhood itself and the dependence on the car for larger shopping trips.

For comparison with other neighbourhoods in Best: Villawijk has a similar segment in terms of prices and housing type, while Hoge Akker and Speelheide are built more compactly and are on average lower priced.

Who is a home for sale in Aarlesche Erven suitable for?

Aarlesche Erven is most suitable for movers and established families seeking space, peace and a quality living environment.

The neighbourhood is less suitable for those dependent on extensive public transport or wanting to live close to urban amenities. Be honest with yourself: overbidding is realistic in this segment, and supply is limited with an average of 9 transactions per year.
