Living in Cobbeek en Centrum, Veldhoven
Cobbeek en Centrum is the heart of Veldhoven: here you will find the city centre with the Markt shopping area, including a wide range of shops, supermarkets and eateries. Those considering living in Cobbeek en Centrum choose a neighbourhood where you can quickly reach daily amenities on foot or by bike. This is also reflected in the resident score: accessibility scores 8.0 for amenities and 7.7 for accessibility, the highest scores in the assessment.
The buildings in this neighbourhood are diverse. You will find terraced houses and semi-detached houses from the 1960s and 1970s, but also multi-family homes and apartments, partly owned by housing corporations. This gives the neighbourhood a mixed character: young couples, seniors and families live here side by side. The largest age group is 25 to 45 years, and the share of single-person households is remarkably high at over 1,000 for a neighbourhood of this size. That fits with the location near the centre, where starters and singles also like to look for a home to buy.
In terms of education, the neighbourhood scores well: an 8.0. Several primary schools are accessible in and directly around the centre of Veldhoven, and for secondary education there are sufficient options in the municipality. Green space is the weakest point: the score of 5.0 is honest. The centre has few parks or green strips. If you place great importance on greenery in your immediate living environment, it is a good idea to look at neighbourhoods such as Meerveldhoven or 't Look, which have a greener character.
In terms of accessibility by car, Cobbeek en Centrum connects well to the A2 and A67, both a short drive away. Eindhoven city centre is about ten minutes away by car, Eindhoven Airport a similar distance. Public transport is via bus connections towards Eindhoven; there is no train station in Veldhoven itself, but Eindhoven station is easily reachable by bus or bike.
Residents are generally positive, although there are also critical voices. The overall rating stands at 6.6 out of 10, based on three reviews. One resident writes: "It's lovely to live here. Everything is well organised, but the only problem is the cyclists and loitering youths in the centre." That image of a neighbourhood that works well functionally but where liveability in the centre area sometimes comes under pressure is also reflected in the lower scores for cleanliness (6.0) and safety (6.7). All reviews and neighbourhood data can be found on the overview page of Cobbeek en Centrum.
Compared to neighbouring Zonderwijk or D'Ekker, Cobbeek en Centrum is more urban and centrally located, but also busier. If you prefer the peace of a residential area over proximity to the centre, you may find a better match in those neighbourhoods.
Is a home for sale in Cobbeek en Centrum right for you?

Starters can enter here at a lower price level than elsewhere in Veldhoven, but must take into account limited green space and the bustle of the centre area. Seniors who want to be less dependent on the car will find a practical living environment here.

Auto-translated to English by AIHaving a mentally disturbed person living below me, I don't enjoy living here. I am constantly harassed over every little thing and she keeps ringing my doorbell. The housing association, police, and municipality know about her but do nothing. First there have to be victims before they intervene. I am already working on a house swap; I will jump for joy when I am out of here.
