Living in the Veldhoven district: down-to-earth, green and well-connected

Residents of the Veldhoven district rate their neighbourhood an 8.0 on Buurtje.nl, based on 11 reviews. Education (8.5) and accessibility (8.4) score notably high. That is no coincidence: in and around the district you will find several primary schools such as Goretti and Sondervick College for secondary education. Supermarkets like Albert Heijn and Jumbo are within cycling distance in the centre, as is the Citycentrum Veldhoven shopping centre. Resident Nick Biemans sums it up succinctly: "I've been living here for a few years and don't have much to complain about. Shops are very close, schools are nearby too. There's plenty in the neighbourhood." On the Veldhoven district page you can read all the reviews and sub-scores.

In terms of accessibility, you are well placed. The A2 and A67 can be reached within minutes, and by bus (including Bravo lines towards Eindhoven Central) you can be at the station in a quarter of an hour. This makes the district popular with people working at the High Tech Campus or at ASML, which is literally around the corner in Veldhoven. Cycling to Eindhoven city centre takes about twenty minutes. There is also greenery: the Dommeldal and the area around the Dommel offer walking and cycling routes. Sports clubs such as football club UNA and tennis club Metzpoint are active in the neighbourhood.

However, there are caveats. Several residents mention nuisance from loitering youths in the centre. One resident writes: "It's lovely living here, everything is well organised, but the only problem is the cyclists and loitering youths in the centre." In some parts, such as around Cobbeek and Centrum, you notice this more than in the quieter edges towards Zeelst or Meerveldhoven. Safety scores a 7.9, which is decent but not outstanding. Those looking for more peace and quiet could also consider the neighbouring Oerle district or the Northern Residential Area, which have a more village-like character. More information about the municipality and local facilities can be found on the Veldhoven municipality website.
