Living in D'Ekker, Veldhoven
D'Ekker is a quiet, predominantly residential neighbourhood in the south of Veldhoven, with a character strongly shaped by the older population structure. With 1,300 residents aged 65 and over, this is by far the largest age group, and you notice it in the atmosphere: it is calm, the streets are clear, and there is a certain familiarity among neighbours. Many homes date from the 1960s and 1970s, with terraced houses and porch flats as the most common types. This also explains the lower WOZ value compared to newer neighbourhoods in the municipality.
In terms of amenities, D'Ekker scores well. Shopping centre De Ekker is within walking distance and offers daily groceries, a pharmacy and some service providers. Resident Nick Biemans describes it succinctly: "Shops are very close, schools are nearby too. You have plenty in the neighbourhood." Primary schools are also within cycling distance. For a larger range of shops or the city centre of Eindhoven, you can drive in about ten to fifteen minutes. The A2 and A67 are easily accessible via the Randweg, making D'Ekker attractive for commuters heading to Eindhoven, Den Bosch or the Brainport region. Public transport is also available: several bus lines connect the neighbourhood with the centre of Veldhoven and the bus station in Eindhoven.
Wilma Vissers, who moved from Eindhoven to D'Ekker, writes: "Very cosy and nice environment. Shops nearby, lovely green spaces and nice people." The greenery in the neighbourhood is indeed a plus: there are various parks and green strips woven into the residential area, contributing to the quiet appearance. The resident score on the D'Ekker neighbourhood page stands at 8.0 out of 10, with high sub-scores for accessibility (8.7) and safety (8.3). The score for housing is somewhat lower at 7.0, which is partly due to the ageing rental housing stock in the neighbourhood. One resident describes that the housing association is neglecting maintenance on her senior home, which is a real point of attention for those considering rental properties. Those who buy obviously have more control over that.
Compared to neighbourhoods like Cobbeek en Centrum or 't Look, D'Ekker is less central and less dynamic, but also quieter and more affordable. Those looking for more space and greenery away from the hustle and bustle might also consider Meerveldhoven or the area around Oerle. For a complete picture of the owner-occupied housing supply in the Veldhoven district, the district page offers a handy overview.
Who is a home for sale in D'Ekker interesting for?
D'Ekker best suits buyers who value peace and affordability over dynamism. The neighbourhood attracts relatively many seniors and singles, but the presence of schools and shops also makes it suitable for families who do not want to pay too much for a starter home. With an average purchase price of over €500,000 and a lower end of €345,000, there is something for starters and movers too, although supply is limited and you need to be alert. The relatively low education level (22% highly educated) and income level (€33,900 compared to €41,100 municipality-wide) indicate that this is not a premium neighbourhood, which also has its advantages.

Apart from the fact that I have unpleasant neighbours on both sides and that one of them (a couple) causes a lot of nuisance, when they are quiet it is lovely to live in such a senior home. The house is very dilapidated and has quite a few defects. The housing association does nothing about it.
