House prices and market figures Driehoeksbos, Eindhoven
Driehoeksbos is one of the most expensive owner-occupied neighbourhoods in Eindhoven. Of the 408 homes in the neighbourhood, 78% are owner-occupied, giving the neighbourhood a distinct owner-occupier character. The average WOZ value is €562,000, more than double the municipal average of €360,000 and well above the district average of Ontginning (€319,000).

The owner-occupied market is tight. In the past twelve months, only seven homes changed hands, with an average selling price of €1,099,143. The range runs from €549,000 to €1,650,000, indicating that both spacious semi-detached homes and large detached villas come onto the market. With an average living area of 212 m², this works out at a price of around €5,185 per square metre. Detached and semi-detached homes dominate the streetscape.

Living in Driehoeksbos, Eindhoven
Driehoeksbos is not a neighbourhood that stands out for its bustle or vibrancy. It is quiet, green and deliberately kept that way. The neighbourhood owes its name to the triangular forest area that surrounds and cuts through the district, and that forest area is immediately the most characteristic aspect of living here. Wide avenues with mature trees, large plots and little through traffic give Driehoeksbos a rural character that you rarely encounter in Eindhoven at such a short distance from the city.
The homes largely date from the 1950s and 1960s, with a mix of villas, semi-detached homes and some spacious terraced houses. Many properties have been thoroughly renovated or extended over the years, so while the appearance of the streets is consistent, the homes can vary greatly in layout and finish. Energy consumption is relatively high at 1,250 m³ of gas per year, which fits with the older construction style and large living areas.
In terms of amenities, Driehoeksbos itself is modestly equipped: there is no supermarket or shopping centre in the neighbourhood itself. Residents drive or cycle to the nearby Woensel shopping centre for daily groceries, or take the car towards the city centre. Primary schools in the immediate vicinity can be found in adjacent neighbourhoods such as Jagershoef and Prinsejagt. For sports, the surrounding forest areas and parks offer space for runners and cyclists; organised sports take place at clubs in the wider district of Ontginning.
Accessibility by car is good: the A50 and A58 can be reached within minutes, making Driehoeksbos attractive for commuters heading to 's-Hertogenbosch or Tilburg. The centre of Eindhoven can be reached by bicycle in about ten to fifteen minutes. Public transport is available but limited; the neighbourhood is not directly served by a fast bus line, making a car or bicycle almost indispensable. Eindhoven Central Station is about five kilometres away.
The population composition says a lot about the neighbourhood. With 935 residents and an average income of €52,600, clearly above the Eindhoven average of €38,200, a wealthy, predominantly older population lives here. Those aged 65 and over are the largest age group with 325 people, and 56% of households are married. This gives Driehoeksbos a quiet, stable character: little turnover, few tenants (only 22%), few students. Residents appreciate that. On the neighbourhood page of Driehoeksbos you can read what residents themselves write about living here. A recurring theme in the reviews is the peace and green surroundings: "You live here in the middle of greenery, but Eindhoven is just around the corner. That's a combination you won't find anywhere else in the city," says one resident. Criticisms usually concern the limited walking distance to daily amenities and the relatively scarce public transport.
Compared to neighbouring neighbourhoods such as 't Hool or Vlokhoven, Driehoeksbos is more exclusive and greener, but also less lively and less diverse. Those looking for more buzz would be better off looking elsewhere in the municipality.
Who is a home for sale in Driehoeksbos interesting for?
Driehoeksbos primarily appeals to movers and seniors who are looking for space, peace and greenery and are willing to pay a high price for it. With an average selling price of over one million euros and a lower limit of €549,000, this is not a neighbourhood for first-time buyers or buyers with a moderate budget. Overbidding is not uncommon given the limited supply. Those who are flexible on the entry moment and want to be well prepared would do well to engage a buying agent with knowledge of the local market.
