Living in Molenakkers, Eersel: quiet, green and predominantly adult

Molenakkers is a quiet residential neighbourhood on the western side of the village of Eersel, recognisable by its wide streets, large plots and predominantly green streetscape. The neighbourhood was largely built in the 1980s and 1990s, with detached houses and semi-detached houses as the most common housing types. Gardens are generally spacious, parking on private property is the norm, and the neighbourhood has a well-maintained, quiet character that clearly matches the demographic composition: the largest age group is 65-plus (335 of the 975 residents), followed by the 45-65 age group. Young families and first-time buyers are clearly in the minority.

A frequently heard comment: "It's quiet here, the neighbours know each other and you really have space to live. Not for nothing does nobody want to leave."
