Living in Heikant-Oost, Veldhoven
Heikant-Oost is a quiet, green residential neighbourhood on the north-eastern side of Veldhoven. The housing stock largely dates from the 1970s and 1980s, with a mix of terraced houses, semi-detached homes and detached houses. Streets are relatively wide, there is plenty of public green space, and most homes have a garden. It is not a neighbourhood where you find much street life in the evenings: it is quiet, orderly and predictably neat. This attracts a specific type of resident, and that is reflected in the figures: the largest age group is 45 to 65 years, followed by those aged 65 and over. Families with children are the most common household type, and nearly half of residents are married.
Daily shopping can be done locally: supermarkets and basic shops are within a short cycling distance. For a larger shopping centre, Citycentrum Veldhoven is reachable by bike, offering a wider range of shops, eateries and services. Primary schools are located nearby, which also makes the neighbourhood attractive for young families. Sports clubs and playgrounds are well represented in the broader Noordelijk Woongebied area.
In terms of accessibility, Heikant-Oost benefits from its location near the A2 and N2 motorways, making Eindhoven reachable by car in about ten minutes. Eindhoven Airport is a fifteen-minute drive away. Public transport is available via bus connections towards Eindhoven Central, although in practice the car is the most commonly used mode of transport, which also fits with the high labour participation rate (65%) and above-average income level (average €44,300 per household).
Residents appreciate the peace and space in the neighbourhood. One resident writes: "Nice living here, green streets, little nuisance and good neighbours. Only the bus connection could have been better." That last point, the limited public transport frequency, comes up more often in comments. Those dependent on public transport should take that into account. More reviews and a full picture of neighbourhood scores can be found on the Heikant-Oost page.
