House prices and market figures for Prinsejagt, Eindhoven

Approximately 45% of the more than 2,300 homes in the neighbourhood are owner-occupied, the remaining 55% are rental properties, a large proportion of which are owned by housing associations.

The range runs from €300,000 to €760,000, indicating that both more modest terraced houses and larger detached homes change hands.

Living in Prinsejagt, Eindhoven
Prinsejagt is a post-war residential neighbourhood in the southeast of Eindhoven, part of the Ontginning district. The neighbourhood has a quiet, green character that you don't always expect in a city like Eindhoven. The buildings largely consist of 1960s and 1970s terraced houses and semi-detached homes, supplemented by a limited number of apartment complexes. The streets are wide, there is plenty of greenery between the homes, and the building density feels low for an urban district.
The park surrounding the neighbourhood is the biggest asset for many residents. Johan, a resident, describes it aptly: "In my opinion, Prinsejagt is a nice neighbourhood to live in. It is relatively quiet for an urban neighbourhood. The biggest plus is the park that surrounds the neighbourhood." That combination of city location with plenty of greenery in the immediate vicinity makes Prinsejagt attractive for families and people seeking peace without living far from the city. More resident reviews and neighbourhood data can be found on the main neighbourhood page of Prinsejagt.
In terms of amenities, the neighbourhood is reasonably self-sufficient. Within walking distance is the Woensel shopping centre, one of the larger shopping centres in Eindhoven with supermarkets, shops and catering establishments. For daily groceries, you hardly need to leave the neighbourhood. Primary schools are present in the immediate vicinity, which is also reflected in the resident score for education: an 8.0. Sports facilities can be found in the adjacent neighbourhoods and in the park itself, where there is space for walking, cycling and outdoor play.
Accessibility also scores an 8.0. Prinsejagt is conveniently located relative to the A2 and A270, the main roads towards Den Bosch and Helmond. Eindhoven city centre can be reached by bicycle in about ten to fifteen minutes. Bus connections run via the Geldropseweg and surrounding roads towards the centre and Eindhoven Central Station. For those who commute by car daily, the location is pleasant without being in the middle of the city bustle.
Compared to neighbouring neighbourhoods such as Jagershoef and Driehoeksbos, Prinsejagt has a slightly more mixed character, with a larger share of social housing. This gives the neighbourhood a different social dynamic than the somewhat more homogeneous owner-occupied neighbourhoods further away. The community score of 5.0 is the lowest sub-score and suggests that neighbourhood ties are not very strong, something to consider if you value active neighbourhood contacts. The municipality of Eindhoven is working on improving liveability in various post-war districts; more information about municipal policy can be found at eindhoven.nl.
Who is a home in Prinsejagt interesting for?
Prinsejagt mainly appeals to families who want greenery and peace in the neighbourhood, but not too far from Eindhoven's amenities. The presence of primary schools and the park make the neighbourhood child-friendly. Movers looking for a larger home above €300,000 get more for their money here than in the city centre. First-time buyers have a tough time: the average transaction price of nearly €463,000 is well above what an average starter budget allows, and the limited supply of 25 transactions per year makes quick action necessary. Be prepared for competition and also consider the rental homes in Prinsejagt as a temporary alternative while you search. Seniors who want to continue living in a quiet environment with good accessibility also find suitable options here.

Is Prinsejagt a safe neighbourhood?
Residents rate safety in Prinsejagt at 8.0 out of 10, the highest sub-score alongside accessibility and green space. That is a positive signal for those who weigh safety heavily when choosing to buy in Prinsejagt. The neighbourhood has a quiet character and is relatively peaceful for a city district in Eindhoven, according to residents.
In my opinion, Prinsejagt is a nice neighbourhood to live in. It is relatively quiet for an urban area. The biggest plus is the park that surrounds the neighbourhood. Especially if, like us, you live not far from the green areas. An advantage of this is that you can more easily tell your children the area where they are allowed to play alone. As long as they stay within the main roads (Oude Bosschebaan, 1e Lieven de Keylaan and Huizingalaan), it is a safe neighbourhood. There are also disadvantages. The chosen tree species are not optimal. Roots cause problems and in summer the cars get sticky. Also, the shopping area is uninspiring. There is a Jumbo, a sushi place, a chip shop, a hairdresser, but overall it is not a nice place to spend time. Another disadvantage, and this is very personal, is the big difference in types of people. From sweet (older) people to, let's say, less well-mannered individuals.
