For a larger range of shops or a night out, the city centre is a short distance away.

Accessibility (7.4) is solid. By car, you can quickly reach the A2 or A58 motorways towards Den Bosch, Tilburg or Venlo. Eindhoven Central is easily accessible by bike or bus, and from the station you can reach Amsterdam or Utrecht within an hour and a half. Several bus lines connect Kortonjo with the city centre and other neighbourhoods. The neighbourhood Eikenburg borders directly on Kortonjo and has a similar character, as does Roosten a bit further away.

Auto-translated to English by AIThe neighbours are generally okay, but we have a lot of trouble with mess (rubbish everywhere, and by the bins and surroundings there's almost every day so much junk) and we also suffer from very cheeky screaming, swearing and mess-making, thing-destroying kids. Lately we also have a lot of trouble with junkies, tramps and other scum in the playground!!. Otherwise it's okay, right??
