Living in Turfberg-Zuid, Valkenswaard

Turfberg-Zuid is a quiet, green residential neighbourhood on the southern edge of Valkenswaard, built in several phases from the 1970s to the 1990s. The neighbourhood consists mainly of single-family homes, including semi-detached houses, corner houses and detached houses on spacious plots. There is hardly any apartment building; the streetscape is defined by gardens, driveways and low hedges. This gives the neighbourhood a village-like, understated character that matches what many residents are looking for when they choose Valkenswaard over a larger city.

The age distribution tells a clear story: the largest group of residents is 65-plus (855 out of 3,000 residents), followed by the 45-65 age group (820).

There you will find supermarkets such as Albert Heijn and Jumbo, the shops on the Markt and the Leenderweg. Within the neighbourhood itself, amenities are limited, but this is compensated by the proximity of the centre.
