Living in Heivelden, Best
Heivelden is a quiet, green residential neighbourhood on the south side of Best, with a character that sits somewhere between a villa district and an ordinary family neighbourhood. The housing largely dates from the 1980s and 1990s, with occasional newer infills. You will find spacious detached houses and semi-detached houses on plots with deep gardens, interspersed with some terraced houses in quiet residential streets. The atmosphere is calm and green, without being boring.
Those living in Heivelden have daily amenities well covered. Within cycling distance lies the centre of Best, with supermarkets such as Albert Heijn and Jumbo, various shops and eateries. For children, there are several primary schools in the immediate vicinity, including primary schools in the neighbouring areas. Sports clubs are well represented in Best: football club VV Best Vooruit, tennis club and various other sports facilities are within a few minutes' reach. The greenery in and around the neighbourhood is one of its strongest points: the heath and forest areas on the edge of Best provide walking and cycling routes right on your doorstep.
In terms of accessibility, Heivelden scores well for motorists. The A2 (Eindhoven-Den Bosch) can be reached via the Best exit within a few minutes, which suits commuters to Eindhoven or 's-Hertogenbosch. Eindhoven Central Station is about a ten-minute drive away. For public transport, Best is less strong: there is no train station in Best itself, but bus connections run to Son and Breugel station or towards Eindhoven. Those dependent on public transport should take this into account.
Residents most appreciate the peace, space and green surroundings. On the Heivelden neighbourhood page you can read what residents themselves write about their area. One resident describes it as: "Heivelden is the neighbourhood you end up in when you're done with the hustle and bustle. Quiet, lots of greenery, yet everything within reach." Criticism sometimes focuses on the limited public transport options and the fact that for extensive shopping you still have to go to Eindhoven.
Compared to other neighbourhoods in Best, Heivelden has a clearly higher price range than, for example, Centrum or Hoge Akker. Those looking for more urban vibrancy can also look at the supply in Speelheide. For a similar villa character, the Villawijk offers an interesting alternative within Best.
Does a home for sale in Heivelden suit you as a buyer?
Heivelden mainly attracts families and home-movers. The largest age group is 45 to 65 years (1,380 residents), and 660 households have children. That says something about who lives here: people who seek space and are willing to pay for it. First-time buyers, with an average sale price of over €800,000 and an entry price of €439,000, are almost completely priced out, unless they have substantial personal assets. Seniors looking to downsize will find few apartments or lifetime-proof homes here. Honestly: the supply is limited and competition for desirable homes can be fierce. Those considering renting as an intermediate step can also view the rental homes in Heivelden, although that supply is scarce.
