Oud-Tongelre: village-like tranquillity on the edge of Eindhoven
Living in Oud-Tongelre feels different from living in, say, the Centrum or Oud-Stratum. The neighbourhood lies on the eastern side of Eindhoven and borders open countryside, giving it a distinct character. Resident Isabelle describes it honestly: "Quite boring because it's more on the outskirts of the city and feels more like a village, but it is quiet." That village-like feeling is precisely why many residents choose to stay here. Joost adds that he can safely walk the streets at night, something he hasn't always experienced in other Eindhoven neighbourhoods. The resident rating on the Oud-Tongelre neighbourhood page stands at 7.6 out of 10, with highs for green spaces (8.6), safety (8.0) and amenities (8.4).
That high score for amenities matches what residents describe. Supermarkets are easily accessible, there are primary schools in the neighbourhood and the shopping options along the Geldropseweg cover daily needs. Green spaces score highly because the neighbourhood directly borders recreational areas towards Geldrop and the Gement. If you enjoy walking or cycling, you're in good shape here. Accessibility by car is excellent via the N2 and the connections to the A2 and A67, but the score for accessibility (6.4) shows that public transport is somewhat weaker. There are bus lines towards Eindhoven city centre, but there is no direct train connection. The nearest NS station is Eindhoven Centraal, about a ten to fifteen-minute bike ride away. Resident Mae, who has lived here for a year, says she would have liked more recreational facilities such as sports amenities. That's a fair point: for extensive sports clubs or cultural facilities, you have to rely on other parts of Eindhoven.
Within Oud-Tongelre, there are clear differences per neighbourhood. Koudenhoven has its own community centre and slightly more amenities, while Urkhoven is very green and quiet. Muschberg Geestenberg also has its own atmosphere with larger plots. For more urban vibrancy, you can compare with Kortonjo or De Laak. The municipality of Eindhoven publishes information about neighbourhood amenities and developments on eindhoven.nl.
Which buyers are a good match for Oud-Tongelre?
Families looking for space and who appreciate a quiet environment generally feel at home here. The average selling price of €546,774 and the large living area of 146 m² point to a market more focused on movers than on first-time buyers, although with a lower limit of €259,000 there are also starter homes. Keep in mind additional costs such as transfer tax (2% for non-first-time buyers), notary fees and possible estate agent fees.

Very nice neighbourhood to live in (old Tongelre). There is plenty to do in the area, for young and old. Supermarkets nearby, bus nearby. Everything is within walking or cycling distance... and of course by car as well.
Auto-translated to English by AIQuite boring because it's more on the outskirts of the city and feels more like a village, but it is quite quiet
Auto-translated to English by AII've been living here for a year now, and it's an affordable place to live in Eindhoven. Clearly a lower-income household area, but definitely safe and pleasant. Supermarkets are always nearby; I personally would have liked more recreational facilities, such as sports. I'm also quite disappointed in the accessibility by public transport. There is only one bus in my neighbourhood, which runs only once an hour during many parts of the day. It only goes to the station. I would have liked to see more buses with different routes and destinations running more frequently. There is plenty of green space in principle, which is very nice, but I would have liked to see more larger walking areas with routes, especially on the edge of the city.
Auto-translated to English by AII can just walk safely on the street at night, I never had that feeling in Woensel Zuid (Kronehoeve). Many families live here, a few students. You're in nature in no time, lovely place to live.
Auto-translated to English by AITongelre is a quiet neighbourhood and a pleasant neighbourhood.
