Living in the Buitengebied of Bergeijk: nature, peace and a strong sense of community

The Buitengebied of Bergeijk is not a neighbourhood in the traditional sense. It is a patchwork of scattered buildings, agricultural plots and wooded landscapes in the municipality of Bergeijk, bordering the Belgian border and the De Groote Peel National Park. Living in Buitengebied means: no neighbours five metres away, but a view of meadows or forests. The largest age group is 45 to 65 years, and the proportion of families with children is strikingly high. That fits the picture: this is a place for people who consciously choose space over urban proximity.

On the neighbourhood page of Buitengebied, residents give an average score of 9.1 out of 10. Accessibility, greenery and amenities even score a perfect 10. That may sound surprising for a rural area, but residents explain that the peace and nature are perceived as a major advantage, and that accessibility by car is excellent. Safety scores slightly lower at 7.0, which is in line with the relatively remote location. Amenities are less available within walking distance, but the proximity of the village of Bergeijk itself largely compensates for this. Schools in the area, including primary schools in Bergeijk and Riethoven, are easily accessible by car. For secondary education, Eersel and Valkenswaard are the designated places.

In terms of accessibility, a car is indispensable. There is no train station in the immediate vicinity; the nearest station is Eersel or Valkenswaard, about ten to fifteen minutes' drive away. Via the N397 and N69 you quickly reach Eindhoven, about thirty minutes away. The Buitengebied is divided into several sub-areas. In the north you will find Buitengebied Noord 1 and Buitengebied Noord 2, while in the south areas such as Buitengebied Zuid-Oost and Buitengebied Zuid-West have their own character.

Who is a home for sale in the Buitengebied of Bergeijk suitable for?

Buying in Buitengebied is mainly reserved for movers and people who consciously choose space, privacy and a rural living environment.
