The neighbourhood has a village character that you don't find quickly in many other Eindhoven neighbourhoods. This is especially true for the historic Kerkdorp Acht, where the Sint-Catharinakerk and the old village square still form the centre. Resident Dani is honest: "In Kerkdorp Acht there are quite a lot of posh people with a lot of money, but despite that it is a pleasant and safe neighbourhood to live in." That honesty characterises the neighbourhood: it is affluent, but not unfriendly.

It is not a top location for public transport users, but very suitable for motorists.
