Living in De Kelen, Veldhoven
De Kelen is a typical Veldhoven family neighbourhood from the 1980s and 1990s, with predominantly single-family homes in terraces, semi-detached houses and a smaller share of detached houses. The streets are laid out wide, with many cul-de-sacs and residential yards. It is quiet, sometimes almost silent. The largest group of residents is between 25 and 45 years old (1,095 people), and with 715 households with children, it is clearly a neighbourhood where families set the tone. At the same time, there are also many over-45s (1,070) and a growing group of over-65s (625), giving the neighbourhood a mixed character.
In terms of amenities, in De Kelen you are within cycling distance of the Citycentrum Veldhoven shopping centre, where you will find an Albert Heijn, Jumbo and various specialist shops. In the neighbourhood itself there are primary schools and childcare facilities. Resident Adriana sums it up aptly: "I appreciate how accessible everything is in my neighbourhood, but I do think it is a bit outdated; many shops are closing and no interesting shops are replacing them." That is a point to consider: the shopping offer directly in the neighbourhood is limited and shrinking. On the neighbourhood page of De Kelen you can read all reviews and neighbourhood data.
Accessibility is a strong point. The A2 and A67 are a few minutes' drive away, and by bus (line 18 towards Eindhoven Centraal) you can reach the station in about twenty minutes. By bike, the centre of Veldhoven is within ten minutes, Eindhoven in a quarter of an hour. The High Tech Campus, ASML and Brainport Industries are literally around the corner, making De Kelen popular with tech professionals.
Compared to nearby neighbourhoods such as Heikant-West and Heikant-Oost, De Kelen is slightly more expensive, but you generally get more living space for your money. If you are looking for more greenery and space, De Polders is worth a look. The neighbourhood scores an 8.0 on beauty, but a meagre 5.0 on greenery and education. The latter is striking: there are schools, but residents apparently experience the offer as limited.
Does a home for sale in De Kelen suit you?
Are you a family with two incomes and do you work in the Brainport region? Then buying a house in De Kelen makes sense: the neighbourhood is quiet, well-connected and close to major employers. Movers looking for more space than in Eindhoven will find semi-detached and detached homes here. First-time buyers have a harder time: with an entry price around €415,000 you need an above-average budget. Seniors looking to downsize will find few apartments here, but there are bungalows on one level. Be honest: overbidding has been more the rule than the exception in this neighbourhood in recent years. If you are looking for a cheaper alternative, also check out rental homes in De Kelen or the supply in the district Oerle.
