Oerle: an old village with its own character within Veldhoven
Oerle is not your average new-build neighbourhood. It is a historic village that has been incorporated into the municipality of Veldhoven over the years, but has retained its own character. Driving through Oerle, you see wide plots, older buildings, plenty of greenery along the streets, and a village atmosphere that you won't find in the newer neighbourhoods of Veldhoven. Living in Oerle means space, relative peace, and a sense of community that is lacking in larger neighbourhoods.
Residents give Oerle a score of 7.8 out of 10 on Buurtje.nl. Notably high scores are for safety (9.0), beauty (9.0), and housing (10.0). Accessibility and sense of community both score 8.0. Resident Nick van den Meerakker describes Veldhoven as a great place to live, safe and fairly clean, but adds a critical note about education, specifically the guidance at Sondervick. The education score of 4.0 is therefore the lowest sub-score. For all resident experiences and neighbourhood data, you can visit the Oerle neighbourhood page. Amenities score a 7.0, which is realistic: Oerle has a limited local offering. For daily groceries, you rely on the supermarkets in the nearby centre of Veldhoven or the Citycentrum Veldhoven shopping centre. Primary schools are nearby, but for secondary education you send your children to Veldhoven or Eindhoven.
Accessibility is well arranged. Via the A67 and A2 you are quickly on the motorway, and Eindhoven is about a ten-minute drive away. Eindhoven Centraal is the nearest train station. Bus line 18 connects Oerle with the centre of Veldhoven and Eindhoven. If you take a bike, you can head towards Eindhoven or the countryside via quiet cycle paths. The sub-neighbourhoods Zandoerle and Verspreide huizen Groote Aard en Vliet each offer a slightly different living atmosphere, from more rural to ribbon development along old roads. Verspreide huizen Zittard and Verspreide huizen Scherpenering en Landsaard are also part of the area. For sports, there is a local football club and walking and cycling opportunities in the surrounding agricultural area towards the Groote Heide.
