Living in Waalre: village character a stone's throw from Eindhoven

Safety (9.0) and beauty (9.0) score particularly high. One resident sums it up succinctly: "People are friendly and greet each other. Children play in the playgrounds and cycle independently on the streets without traffic issues." That picture fits. Waalre is a place where you know the neighbour's children by name and where there is little nuisance.

The Waalre section of the Dommeldal route offers beautiful walking and cycling paths through forest and heathland, although green space scores a 7.0, slightly lower than you might expect. This is probably because the centre itself is quite built-up, while the nature starts just outside the village core.
