Living in Waterrijk, Eindhoven
Waterrijk is a planned water-rich residential neighbourhood on the western side of Eindhoven, directly adjacent to the Aquabest recreation area. The name is not just marketing talk: the neighbourhood is literally built around water. Ditches, ponds and water features define the streetscape and create an openness rarely found in older Eindhoven neighbourhoods. Residents therefore give green space a notably high score of 9.0 out of 10.
The homes were largely built between 2000 and 2010, a period when architects experimented with modern, cubist forms. This has resulted in a neighbourhood with a recognisable appearance, although not everyone is enthusiastic about it. Resident Antoinette honestly describes it as "boring box houses", but immediately adds that she is lucky to look out over the water and lives on a nice street with attentive neighbours who help each other. That picture matches the neighbourhood data: the community score stands at 7.5, and more than half of households consist of families with children. The atmosphere is quiet, suburban and family-oriented.
For daily shopping, Winkelcentrum Meerhoven is within cycling distance, with a supermarket and various shops. Schools score a perfect 10.0 in resident reviews, which can be a decisive factor for families. In the neighbourhood itself and the immediate vicinity, there are primary schools that are well-regarded. The Aquabest recreation area offers swimming opportunities, walking paths and play space for children, literally around the corner.
Accessibility by car is good: the A2 and A67 are quickly reachable via the Randweg, making Waterrijk attractive for commuters heading to Den Bosch or Venlo. Eindhoven city centre is about 8 kilometres away, a 15-minute drive by car. By public transport, the neighbourhood is less well-served: bus lines connect Meerhoven with the centre and Eindhoven station, but the frequency is lower than in more centrally located neighbourhoods. The accessibility score from residents (7.0) reflects that honestly. Cycling to the centre is possible but takes about half an hour.
Compared to sister neighbourhood Grasrijk, Waterrijk is slightly more exclusive in price and has a stronger water-bound character. Zandrijk offers a similar suburban living environment but with a different spatial layout. Those seeking more urbanity might also look at Centrum or Oud-Stratum, although the housing types and price levels there are quite different. More neighbourhood data, resident reviews and background information can be found on the main page of Waterrijk.
Who is a home in Waterrijk interesting for?
Waterrijk mainly attracts families with children who are looking for space, value a green and water-rich environment and are willing to pay for that quality. With average purchase prices around €894,000, this is not a neighbourhood for starters or people with a limited budget. Movers who have already built up equity in another owner-occupied home fit better here. The high labour participation rate (78%) and the average income of €55,100 confirm that residents here are financially solid. Those unsure about buying can also look at rental homes in Waterrijk, although the rental supply is limited. Keep in mind that the annual sales volume is low (12 transactions), so supply is scarce and goes quickly.
What residents say about Waterrijk
Waterrijk receives an average resident score of 7.6 out of 10, based on reviews via the neighbourhood page of Waterrijk. The highest sub-scores are for education (10.0) and green space (9.0). Safety and accessibility both score 7.0, which is fair but not outstanding. Resident Antoinette (7.0) writes: "I look out over the water luckily and live on a nice street with attentive neighbours, we help each other." She does note a caveat regarding the maintenance of public space by residents themselves. That is a recognisable point in new-build neighbourhoods where ownership is sometimes filled in somewhat non-committally.

Luckily I look out onto the water and live on a nice street with attentive neighbours, we help each other. People could however maintain their street better and put bikes in the shed instead of by the door.
