Living in Vlokhoven, Eindhoven
Vlokhoven is a post-war residential neighbourhood on the west side of Eindhoven, part of the Ontginning district. The buildings mostly date from the 1950s and 1960s: terraced houses, semi-detached houses and a limited number of porch flats. The streets are quiet and green, with a fair number of trees and parks. It is not a neighbourhood that stands out for architectural features, but rather for a certain everyday solidity.
The population composition is diverse. With 3,595 residents, Vlokhoven is a medium-sized neighbourhood, with the largest group between 25 and 45 years old. At the same time, there is a significant share of over-65s (770) and relatively many single-person households (940). That says something about the character of the neighbourhood: it is not a typical family neighbourhood, but a place where diverse people live side by side.
For daily shopping, you can go to the nearby shopping centre in the neighbourhood, and the Winkelcentrum in the area is also easily accessible. Primary schools are available in the immediate vicinity, which is a practical advantage for young families. Green space scores relatively well in resident reviews (7.0 out of 10), which matches the image of the neighbourhood: there are parks, and the Vlokhovense Heide and the nearby Driehoeksbos offer space for exercise.
In terms of accessibility, Vlokhoven scores a 7.0. The neighbourhood is about five kilometres from the centre of Eindhoven. By bike, you are there in a quarter of an hour. By bus, there are connections to the centre and Eindhoven station. The connection to the A50 and A2 is easily accessible via the west side of the city, which makes the neighbourhood attractive for commuters.
The overall resident score for Vlokhoven stands at 6.1 out of 10, based on available reviews. Community scores the lowest (5.0), as do amenities (5.0). Accessibility and green space score the best. One resident briefly describes the neighbourhood as "bad" and mentions parking problems in certain streets as a specific issue. That picture of parking pressure is recognisable in older post-war neighbourhoods that were not designed for current car ownership. See all reviews on the page for Vlokhoven, including the sub-scores per category.
For comparison: the neighbouring communities Jagershoef and Prinsejagt are also part of the Ontginning district and have a similar post-war character, but sometimes have a slightly different level of amenities or price level. It is worth also looking at owner-occupied homes in Ontginning as a whole if you are searching in this corner of Eindhoven.
Who is a home in Vlokhoven interesting for?
Vlokhoven mainly appeals to first-time buyers and movers who want to buy a home in Eindhoven without paying the highest prices of the centre or the more sought-after neighbourhoods. The average purchase price of €426,935 is realistic for a terraced house or semi-detached house of 115 m². Families will find enough space and green space, although they must take into account limited supply of owner-occupied homes and sometimes fierce competition for popular properties. If you are considering renting as an alternative or as an intermediate step, you can also look at rental homes in Vlokhoven, because the supply of rental homes there is actually ample.
