Living in De Dijken, Eersel
De Dijken is a quiet, green residential neighbourhood on the edge of the town of Eersel, in the Brabantse Kempen. The name refers to the gently sloping landscape structure of the area, and this character is also reflected in the neighbourhood itself: spacious plots, plenty of greenery between the homes and a relaxed atmosphere that you won't find in an urban environment. The buildings largely date from the 1970s and 1980s, supplemented by some newer developments. You will mainly find semi-detached houses and detached homes, with the occasional terraced house. The gardens are generally large, which appeals to families with children.
Daily shopping can be done quickly in the centre of Eersel, within walking distance or a short bike ride. There you will find a supermarket, a pharmacy, a GP and the necessary local shops. For a larger range of shops, residents drive to Valkenswaard or Eindhoven. Primary education is available in the town of Eersel itself, and for secondary education, Eersel and the surrounding villages are easily accessible. Sports clubs in the area focus on football, tennis and cycling, fitting the active character of the residents.
In terms of accessibility, De Dijken is heavily dependent on the car. The N397 and the connection towards the A67 (exit Eersel) provide a smooth link to the region. Eindhoven is about a 25-minute drive away. Public transport is available via bus lines that connect Eersel with Eindhoven and Valkenswaard, but the frequency is limited. For daily travel in the immediate vicinity, the bicycle is a realistic option, especially towards the centre of Eersel.
Residents appreciate the peace and space that De Dijken offers. On the neighbourhood page of De Dijken you can read what people specifically write about living here. One resident describes it as: "It's quiet here, you know your neighbours and the children just play in the street. You don't find that everywhere anymore." Criticisms that come up are the limited walking distance to amenities and the lack of a direct train connection. Those used to a lively, urban environment may find De Dijken too quiet.
Compared to neighbouring areas such as Eersel-kom en Lindeakkers or Molenveld en Schadewijk, De Dijken has a slightly more peripheral character, with larger plots and less direct proximity to the shopping centre. Those looking for more urban vibrancy can also look at the supply of homes for sale in the Eersel district as a whole. For those who want even more peace and space outside the town, Duizel or Steensel are also worth exploring.
For whom is a home in De Dijken a good choice?
The neighbourhood mainly attracts families and movers looking for space, peace and a Brabant village character. The largest age group is 45 to 65 years old, and the high proportion of households with children confirms this picture. First-time buyers will find it difficult: with an average selling price of almost €585,000 and an entry price of €489,000, a home in De Dijken is not affordable for everyone. Overbidding is not uncommon in the current market, and the number of transactions per year is limited, so patience is required. Those who doubt whether buying is the right time now can also look at the rental homes in De Dijken as an intermediate solution.
