Green, quiet yet not without debate: living in Gestelse Ontginning
Gestelse Ontginning scores a 7.3 out of 10 on Buurtje.nl, based on resident reviews. That score covers a striking difference: for green spaces and education the neighbourhood gets a 9.0, while community spirit with a 5.0 is the lowest sub-score. You recognise that picture when you read the reviews. Resident Merhawit describes the neighbourhood simply as "cosy" and gives a 9.0, while several other residents indicate that people increasingly live for themselves and social contact has declined. On the neighbourhood page of Gestelse Ontginning you can read all reviews and see the full neighbourhood data. The honesty of those assessments gives a more realistic picture than an average estate agent's spiel.
What does make the neighbourhood strong is its location next to the nature reserve De Geldropse Heide and the so-called Klotputten, an attractive recreational area within walking distance. For families with children, that is a major plus. Schools score highly in the neighbourhood assessments; primary schools are accessible in and around the neighbourhood, and the score for education of 9.0 reflects that. For daily shopping you can go to the shops along the Geldropseweg and in the nearby shopping centre. The neighbourhood Hanevoet borders directly on Gestelse Ontginning and has its own range of facilities, as do Genderbeemd and Ooievaarsnest, the other neighbourhoods within the district.
In terms of accessibility, the neighbourhood scores a 7.5. Eindhoven Central is reachable by bicycle in about twenty minutes, and by bus via several HOV lines on the Geldropseweg the city centre is well connected. The connection to the A67 and the N2 also makes car drivers quickly mobile towards Helmond or the motorways to Venlo and The Hague. Parking is mentioned by some residents as a point of attention, partly due to the arrival of charging points. The municipality of Eindhoven is working on sustainable mobility solutions; more information can be found at eindhoven.nl.

Auto-translated to English by AIPeople live very much to themselves these days. Little social activity. Homes are given undeserved urgent cases. Vals and Woonbedrijf are very blind to this. Not right. Social facilities are mainly for 'the elderly'. For the age group of 45/55, little to nothing is offered.
Auto-translated to English by AIPeople don't really look out for each other. Urgency cases are often not fair and correct (failure of Woonbedrijf). Regular weed smell. Park many young people at late hours after 10 p.m.
Auto-translated to English by AIThe neighbourhood is located near a beautiful nature area. Houses are being crammed with incorrect emergency cases. The housing association is blind in that regard. People are living less and less socially with each other. Strange that, given the natural location (the Klotputten), the housing association increasingly allows people on this edge to put up sheds and wooden fences. This was not the intention of the nature area. Climate change will cause a lot of water nuisance, and gardens are being replaced by stone. Neighbourhood prevention patrols during the day, while it is often needed in the evening. The housing association does not take the smell of weed seriously. The housing association does not draw a fair line regarding the admission of residents. One person gets everything done, the other nothing. This beautiful neighbourhood and location is rapidly deteriorating.
