Living in Meerveldhoven, Veldhoven

Meerveldhoven is a quiet, predominantly green residential neighbourhood on the south-west side of Veldhoven, sandwiched between the built-up area and the open agricultural landscape towards Oirschot. The neighbourhood still clearly bears the marks of the expansion wave that Veldhoven underwent in the 1970s and 1980s: many semi-detached and detached houses along wide streets with front gardens, interspersed here and there with terraced houses from the same period. It is a neighbourhood where you can walk quietly in the evening, where children play in the street and where neighbours know each other. This also has a downside: the range of amenities is limited, and those who want to do their daily shopping quickly drive or cycle to the 't Hofke shopping centre or the centre of Veldhoven for a wider selection.

The neighbourhood is reasonably well provided with schools. De Wegwijzer primary school is within cycling distance, and families do not have to look far for secondary education either, as the Rythovius College and the Pleincollege are reachable within a few minutes by bike. For sports, there are opportunities at football club VV Meerveldhoven, which occupies a fixed place in the social life of the neighbourhood. The surrounding green areas, including the outskirts of the Meerhoven area and the nearby Groene Woud, make the neighbourhood attractive for walkers and cyclists.

In terms of accessibility, Meerveldhoven is heavily dependent on the car. The A2 and A67 motorways can be reached within ten minutes, and Eindhoven Airport is less than a quarter of an hour's drive away. Public transport is available via bus connections to the centre of Veldhoven and Eindhoven, but the frequency is limited. In practice, having your own bike or car is not a luxury. Train travellers have to rely on Eindhoven station, about twenty minutes by bike or a quarter of an hour by bus.

Residents appreciate the peace, space and green character of the neighbourhood. On the Meerveldhoven neighbourhood page you can read all the reviews and neighbourhood scores. One resident writes: "You notice that everyone has lived here for years and that gives a safe feeling, but new people also quickly find their place here." Criticism mainly focuses on the limited amenities within walking distance and the parking situation in older streets. Compared to neighbourhoods such as Cobbeek en Centrum, where you find more urban dynamism, or the somewhat newer 't Look, Meerveldhoven has a distinct character of its own: restrained, green and self-contained. Those who also want to understand the broader context of the district can find more information on the page about owner-occupied homes in Veldhoven.

Who is a home in Meerveldhoven interesting for?

The demographics say it all: Meerveldhoven is a neighbourhood of movers and seniors. The largest age group is 45 to 65 years, followed by those aged 65 and over. Families looking for space and who value peace and quiet fit well into this picture. First-time buyers have a hard time: with an average purchase price of over €571,000 and a lower limit of €375,000, buying a house in Meerveldhoven is hardly feasible without substantial personal capital or outside help. Those who still want to live in the neighbourhood but are not yet ready to buy can also look at the rental properties in Meerveldhoven. When buying, be prepared for competition: supply is limited and overbidding is more the rule than the exception in this market.
