Living in Villawijk, Best

The name says it all: Villawijk is no ordinary residential neighbourhood. It is a quiet, green enclave on the edge of Best where detached villas on spacious plots set the tone. The buildings largely date from the 1970s and 1980s, but there are also newer properties built among them. Streets are wide, gardens are deep, and traffic is limited to residents and their visitors. You don't just drive through it.

The neighbourhood has about 245 residents, spread over 113 homes. The largest group is 65-plus, followed by 45-65-year-olds. This gives Villawijk a quiet, mature character. Young families with children are in the minority, and you notice that in the atmosphere on the street. It is quiet, tidy, and social cohesion seems strong: residents know each other, which contributes to the feeling of safety.

In terms of amenities, Villawijk is not a self-sufficient neighbourhood. For daily shopping, you drive to the centre of Best, where you will find an Albert Heijn and several specialist shops. Children from the neighbourhood attend primary schools in Best, such as the schools in nearby Centrum or Hoge Akker. Villawijk does not have its own shopping street or neighbourhood supermarket, but that fits the type of neighbourhood: people who live here consciously choose peace and space over walking distance to a supermarket.

Accessibility by car is good. The A2 and A58 are reachable within a few minutes, making Eindhoven, Den Bosch and Tilburg easily accessible. Best station is within cycling distance and offers direct connections to Eindhoven Centraal and 's-Hertogenbosch. For daily commuting towards Eindhoven, that is a practical advantage. By bike, the centre of Best can be reached in a few minutes.

Residents particularly appreciate the peace, space and green surroundings. On the neighbourhood homepage of Villawijk you will find all resident experiences and scores per category. One resident aptly describes it: "You live here as if you are on holiday, but just at home. No nuisance, no hustle and bustle, just space." Criticism sometimes focuses on the limited walking distance to amenities and the fact that you need the car for almost everything.

Compared to other neighbourhoods in the municipality, Villawijk is a separate category. Speelheide and De Leeuwerik offer more affordable owner-occupied homes in a more family-friendly setting. Batadorp has a very own historical character. Villawijk stands apart from all those neighbourhoods: it is the exclusive segment of Best, intended for those who prioritise space and privacy.

Who is a home for sale in Villawijk suitable for?

Villawijk is not a neighbourhood for first-time buyers or young families with a modal income. With an average household income of €72,200 and transaction prices above a million, this segment is reserved for movers, affluent seniors or people who consciously choose space and peace in a green environment. The labour participation rate of 64% and the high proportion of 65-plussers confirm that picture. If you want to buy a home in Villawijk, expect limited supply and little room for negotiation. Those who find the neighbourhood interesting but are not yet ready to take the step to buy can also look at rental homes in Villawijk as an intermediate option.
