Living in Oud-Stratum: Mediterranean atmosphere close to the station
Oud-Stratum is one of those neighbourhoods in Eindhoven where you immediately feel you are not in a new-build area. The streets have character, the trees are old and tall, and the architecture ranges from stately 1930s houses to white-plastered homes that, as long-time resident Ger-Jan describes, make you "feel like you're in Italy or Greece in summer because of the white houses". He has lived there since 1994 and never wants to leave. On the neighbourhood page of Oud-Stratum you can read all the resident reviews.

Supermarkets such as Jumbo and Albert Heijn are reachable within a few minutes. For primary education, schools like De Trinoom and Basisschool Het Lover are in the immediate vicinity. Stadswandelpark and Henri Dunantpark provide green space, and sports club PSV is literally around the corner at the Philips Stadion. Resident Yuna, who recently moved to Oud-Stratum from another neighbourhood, notices the difference immediately: "Lots of green, close to the station." She does mention that there is sometimes noise pollution from motorbikes and nightlife crowds towards Stratumseind, something to bear in mind if you are looking in Joriskwartier or Bloemenplein, the neighbourhoods closest to the centre.

I've lived here since 1994 and don't want to leave for as long as my life allows. The living comfort is sublime, and in summer you feel like you're in Italy or Greece because of the white houses. It's fairly safe to live here; there's neighbourhood watch and residents keep a close eye on everything. It's a great privilege to live here. All shops and healthcare facilities are within walking distance, as is the centre of Eindhoven. I want to keep living here!!!
Auto-translated to English by AII've known this neighbourhood in Eindhoven for a while, but I've been living here myself for a few months now. I moved here from a less pleasant area and the difference is noticeable. Apart from occasional nuisance from motorbikes and partying people from Stratum, this neighbourhood is really great. Lots of greenery, close to the station and the Jumbo, it's very nice.
Auto-translated to English by AII think the neighbourhood is beautiful because it is very green. There is also one very nice playground with a dog poo field and a log cabin with fun activities.
