Living in Centrum zuid, Asten
Centrum zuid is the neighbourhood you choose if you want the peace of a Brabant village but not too far from daily amenities. Its location directly south of the village centre of Asten means that shopping, visiting the doctor or having a drink on a terrace are all within walking distance or a short bike ride. The Markt of Asten, with its shops and eateries, can be reached in a few minutes. That is precisely what many residents appreciate here: you have the proximity of the centre without being in the middle of the hustle and bustle.
Housing in Centrum zuid largely dates from the 1960s to 1980s, with occasional newer infills. You mainly see terraced houses and semi-detached houses, interspersed with some detached houses on larger plots. The streets are predominantly quiet and green, with ample space for front gardens and parking on private property or along the road. The neighbourhood has no big-city allure, but that is not what people are looking for here.
For families with children, the presence of primary schools in and directly around the centre of Asten is a plus. Sports clubs such as football club Asten and various other clubs are easily accessible from the neighbourhood. Supermarkets, a chemist and other daily shops are available in the centre of Asten within a short distance. For larger shopping trips or a more extensive range of shops, many residents drive to Helmond, which is about a twenty-minute drive via the N279. The connection to the A67 (Eindhoven-Venlo) is also easily accessible, making the neighbourhood attractive for commuters towards Eindhoven or the Venlo region.
Public transport in Asten is limited, as in many Brabant villages. There are bus lines to Helmond and Deurne, but for daily commuting by public transport, a car is a must for most residents. This is a point that some residents mention as a drawback, especially young people without a car. On the neighbourhood main page of Centrum zuid you will find resident reviews that confirm this: the neighbourhood scores well on peace and safety, but less on public transport accessibility. One resident writes: "Nice and quiet living, everything within cycling distance in the centre, but without a car you are dependent on others for further destinations." That is an honest summary of what you can expect here.
Compared to neighbouring areas such as Hemelberg and De Bergen, Centrum zuid has a slightly more central location, which benefits daily accessibility. Hulterman is another neighbourhood in the same district with a different character. The demographic composition of Centrum zuid stands out: the largest age group is 65-plus (over 640 of the 1,870 residents), which partly explains the quiet atmosphere. Young families are present, but less dominant than in some other neighbourhoods within Asten zuid.
Who is a home for sale in Centrum zuid interesting for?
Centrum zuid mainly attracts movers and seniors who combine peace and proximity to the centre.

Those considering buying a house in Centrum zuid would do well to act quickly when something becomes available, as supply is scarce. Overbidding is not uncommon in this segment. First-time buyers who cannot yet make the step to buying can also look at rental homes in Centrum zuid as an alternative. For commuters who travel daily to Eindhoven or Helmond, a car is indispensable.
