Kastelenplein

People are becoming increasingly distant. More and more (sometimes) unjustified urgent cases. Not good. The neighbourhood is being taken over by too many nationalities, who don't seek contact. Parking problems due to charging stations.

People live very much to themselves these days. Little social activity. Homes are given undeserved urgent cases. Vals and Woonbedrijf are very blind to this. Not right. Social facilities are mainly for 'the elderly'. For the age group of 45/55, little to nothing is offered.

People don't really look out for each other. Urgency cases are often not fair and correct (failure of Woonbedrijf). Regular weed smell. Park many young people at late hours after 10 p.m.

The neighbourhood is located near a beautiful nature area. Houses are being crammed with incorrect emergency cases. The housing association is blind in that regard. People are living less and less socially with each other. Strange that, given the natural location (the Klotputten), the housing association increasingly allows people on this edge to put up sheds and wooden fences. This was not the intention of the nature area. Climate change will cause a lot of water nuisance, and gardens are being replaced by stone. Neighbourhood prevention patrols during the day, while it is often needed in the evening. The housing association does not take the smell of weed seriously. The housing association does not draw a fair line regarding the admission of residents. One person gets everything done, the other nothing. This beautiful neighbourhood and location is rapidly deteriorating.

Door de vele hoge struiken en bomen langs de straten waar veel doorgaand verkeer doorheen gaat, en slechte avondverlichting geeft een onveilig gevoel.

Nice quiet neighbourhood, all amenities nearby.

Quiet, no nuisance, sometimes difficult neighbours, otherwise everyone is very much to themselves but still always curious about what others are doing. In terms of nature, it is very extensive and there are many opportunities.

It's a beautiful, quiet, clean and spacious neighbourhood. I experience the area as safe and child-friendly. In terms of noise, it's pleasantly quiet: you hardly hear any planes, at most occasionally a military helicopter during the day. There are good schools and the neighbourhood is very international, with a nice mix of locals and knowledge migrants. This is also due to its favourable location relative to the High Tech Campus, the ASML campus and ISE. Accessibility is good, with several bus lines (401, 402, 403 and 20) and fast arterial roads towards the centre and Best. In the centre of Meerhoven there are three supermarkets (Lidl, Albert Heijn and Jumbo), a GP, dentists and childcare. By bike you can reach Strijp-S in about 10 minutes and the centre of Eindhoven in 15 to 20 minutes. In addition, there is a lot of greenery, with beautiful walking routes along the golf course and through Park Meerland. A downside is that it's not very lively: there are few activities and hardly any catering facilities. All in all, I think it's one of the better neighbourhoods in Eindhoven. The centre is easily accessible by bike and it's a good choice if you want to live quietly, without being too far from the city. If you're looking for a cosy, lively neighbourhood with lots of nightlife, Meerhoven is probably less suitable.
