House prices and market figures Meerrijk, Eindhoven
The owner-occupied market in Meerrijk is compact but pricey. Of the 505 homes in the neighbourhood, 44% are owner-occupied, the rest are rental, a significant portion of which is through housing associations (26%) and other landlords (30%). This means the owner-occupied segment is relatively limited, which drives up prices. In the past twelve months, 8 owner-occupied homes were sold in Meerrijk, with an average sale price of €605,250. The range ran from €525,000 to €719,000. With an average living area of 109 m², this works out to a price per square metre of approximately €5,550. That is considerably higher than the municipal average: the WOZ value in Meerrijk is €412,000, compared to €360,000 for the whole of Eindhoven. Compared to the broader district Meerhoven, where the average WOZ value is €485,000, Meerrijk sits in between.

Living in Meerrijk, Eindhoven
Meerrijk is one of the newer neighbourhoods in the Meerhoven district, on the west side of Eindhoven, close to Eindhoven Airport. The neighbourhood was built in the 2000s and has the typical character of a planned new-build estate: straight streets, spacious plots, plenty of greenery in public spaces, and homes that are predominantly semi-detached and detached houses. Terraced houses are also present, but they are not the most common housing types. The architecture is varied for a new-build estate, with attention to water features and green strips that give the neighbourhood an airy feel.
The neighbourhood has around 1,110 residents, with a clear concentration in the 25 to 45 age group (520 people). That says something about its character: this is not a neighbourhood with many students or elderly people, but a place where working dual-income couples and young families have settled. 44% of residents are married, and the income level of €46,600 is clearly above the Eindhoven average of €38,200. The labour participation rate is 66% and 57% of residents have a high level of education.
In terms of amenities, Meerrijk itself is modestly equipped: you live here quietly, but for daily shopping you quickly go to the nearby Meerhoven shopping centre on Achtseweg Noord, which has a supermarket, pharmacy and a number of shops. For a larger selection, Eindhoven city centre is about 8 to 10 kilometres away. Primary education is available in the immediate vicinity, with schools within the Meerhoven district. Sportpark Meerhoven offers facilities for football and other sports. Around the neighbourhood there are green zones and walking paths, partly connecting to the Boschdijktracé towards the Genneper Parken area.
Accessibility by car is good: the A2 and A67 are reachable within a few minutes via the Achtseweg or the ring road. Eindhoven Central can be reached by bicycle in about 25 minutes, or by bus via lines 15 and 16, which run through the district and provide connections to the centre and the station. Cycling is seriously facilitated in Meerhoven with wide cycle paths through the district.
Residents appreciate the peace, space and new-build quality of the homes. On the Meerrijk neighbourhood page you can read all reviews and scores per category. One resident describes it as: "It is quiet and green here, the homes are well-maintained and the neighbours are friendly. But for a night out you really have to take the car." That is a common sentiment: the location is pleasant for families, but less suitable for those seeking city life. Compared to sister neighbourhoods such as Waterrijk, which has more water features and is priced slightly more exclusive, or Grasrijk with its more green character, Meerrijk has a somewhat more compact, residential estate atmosphere. Zandrijk and Meerbos are other neighbourhoods in the same district worth comparing if you are looking at alternative owner-occupied homes in Meerhoven.
Who is a home in Meerrijk interesting for?
Meerrijk mainly attracts dual-income couples and young families looking for space, peace and new-build quality within driving distance of Eindhoven. The average sale price of €605,250 makes this not a starter neighbourhood: the barriers are high for first-time buyers, and the limited supply of 8 sales in the past year means you have to act quickly when something becomes available. Overbidding is not uncommon in this price range. Seniors looking to downsize will find less supply of ground-floor homes or apartments here. If you are unsure whether buying is the right time, you can also look at rental homes in Meerrijk as a temporary or alternative option.

What is it like living in Meerrijk?
Meerrijk is a quiet, planned new-build neighbourhood from the 2000s on the west side of Eindhoven. The atmosphere is green and residential, with spacious plots and little traffic. Residents appreciate the peace and quality of housing, but note that you are dependent on the car for many amenities. It is a neighbourhood best suited to families and dual-income working couples.
Is Meerrijk suitable for families with children?
Yes, Meerrijk is primarily a family neighbourhood. The largest age group is 25 to 45 years old, there are primary schools in the immediate vicinity within the Meerhoven district, and the neighbourhood is quiet and safely laid out with plenty of greenery and wide cycle paths. However, a car is almost indispensable for daily activities outside the district. For starters, purchase prices are too high to serve as a first step on the housing market.
How accessible is Meerrijk?
By car, Meerrijk is easily accessible via the A2 and A67, which can be reached within a few minutes. Eindhoven Central Station can be reached by bike in about 25 minutes via the well-equipped cycle paths through the district. Bus lines 15 and 16 connect the neighbourhood to the city centre and station. Eindhoven Airport is within walking distance, which is convenient for frequent flyers but can also cause some aircraft noise.
What type of homes are for sale in Meerrijk?
The housing supply in Meerrijk mainly consists of semi-detached and detached homes, supplemented by some terraced houses. The homes largely date from the 2000s and were built as part of the new-build development of the Meerhoven district. Buying apartments in Meerrijk is less common; the segment is limited there. The average living area of sold homes over the past year was 109 m².
Is there a lot of greenery in Meerrijk and what about parking?
As a new-build neighbourhood, Meerrijk has relatively much public greenery, with green strips and water features spread throughout the district. Parking is not a problem in most streets: most homes have their own driveway or garage, and the public space is spacious. That is one of the advantages compared to older neighbourhoods closer to the centre of Eindhoven.
