Living in Verspreide huizen Steensel, Eersel

Verspreide huizen Steensel is exactly what the name promises: a collection of detached houses and farmhouses scattered across the agricultural landscape around the village of Steensel, in the southeast of the municipality of Eersel. There is no centre, no shopping street, no village square. What there is: peace, space and views over meadows and fields in an area bordering the Kempen landscape. Those who live here consciously choose distance from the hustle and bustle.

The homes are predominantly detached, many of them former farmhouses or characteristic country houses. Construction periods vary, but a large part of the stock consists of older properties that have been thoroughly renovated or extended over the years. New-build homes are scarce. The average home has a substantial floor area, which is also evident in the sales data: an average of 200 m² of living space. Buying apartments in Verspreide huizen Steensel is not an option; this is not an apartment neighbourhood.

Facilities are not within walking distance. For daily groceries you drive to Steensel itself or to Eersel, a few kilometres away. In Eersel you will find a supermarket, primary schools, a GP practice and a limited range of shops. For a wider range of shops, restaurants and culture, Eindhoven is the designated city, about 20 kilometres away. Accessibility by car is reasonable: via the N397 and N284 you quickly reach regional roads. Public transport is limited; there is a bus route via Steensel towards Eersel and beyond, but a car here is not a luxury but a necessity. By bike you can reach Steensel itself in a few minutes via rural cycle paths.

The neighbourhood has around 150 residents, spread across 61 homes. The largest age group is 65-plus, followed by the 25-45 and 45-65 groups. This says something about the character of the neighbourhood: it is predominantly established residents who have lived here for years, families in a quieter phase of life and people who consciously choose rural living. Young families with children are fewer, although the 0-15 age group with twenty children is not absent.

Residents particularly appreciate the peace and space. On the neighbourhood main page of Verspreide huizen Steensel you can read what residents themselves write about their living environment, including scores per category. A recurring theme in the reviews is the combination of privacy and community spirit: "You live here on your own, but the neighbours know you. That's exactly the balance I was looking for." Criticisms usually focus on the limited public transport connections and the lack of facilities within walking distance. Those who compare with other parts of the municipality, such as Eersel or Duizel, will notice that those centres offer more village amenities but less rural peace. The owner-occupied homes in Steensel as a whole show a lower price level, indicating that the scattered location and type of homes in this neighbourhood occupy a clear premium position.
