Living in Begijnenbroek: centrally located, but with rough edges
Residents of Begijnenbroek give their neighbourhood a 7.4 on Buurtje.nl. That is a reasonable score, but the sub-scores paint a nuanced picture. Accessibility scores highest at 8.8, and that makes sense: via the Eisenhowerlaan and Vestdijk, you are on the Ring Road within minutes. Eindhoven Central Station is within cycling distance (about ten minutes), and bus lines towards the city centre and Woensel stop along the Geldropseweg and Eckartseweg. Safety scores an 8.5, which is remarkably high for a neighbourhood that partly consists of flats. Resident Elisabeth Timmermans calls it "a pleasant living environment for seniors with all amenities within reach," and another resident feels "safe and protected" there.
Yet there are clear points of concern. The scores for cleanliness (6.5) and amenities (6.5) are mediocre. Resident Eddie describes how around the flats it has become "a terrible mess" because residents place rubbish bags next to the underground containers instead of inside them. Jos Wassink also reports nuisance due to "too many homes with difficult cases and too many slumlords." That is frankly noticeable in parts of the neighbourhood, particularly around the flat buildings in Oude Gracht-Oost and Oude Gracht-West. The Generalenbuurt and Eckartdal areas, on the other hand, are greener and quieter, with more single-family homes.
In terms of amenities, the Albert Heijn and Lidl on the Geldropseweg are within walking distance. De Driestam primary school and the Stedelijk College secondary school are in the immediate vicinity, which explains the education score of 8.3. The Eckartpark on the eastern side of the neighbourhood offers space for walking and sports, although green space scores a modest 7.0. For more shops and dining, you can cycle to Eindhoven city centre in five minutes. PSV sports club and the Tongelreep swimming pool are a short bike ride away. More information about the neighbourhood and local developments can be found on the Eindhoven municipality website.

Too many houses with difficult cases and too many slumlords
Auto-translated to English by AIIn recent years it has become a terrible mess. And when it comes to the flats (most of the homes), this is because many newer residents leave their rubbish next to the underground containers instead of putting it in. It doesn't fit, for example, because people fill the rubbish bags far too full. Also, a huge number of younger people have come to live here, while the flats were actually intended for seniors. This manifests itself particularly in noise nuisance, in directly adjacent homes. And this to the extreme, you can hear each other talking, farting, etc. etc....
