How residents experience their neighbourhood
Quiet, relaxing neighbourhood found
Auto-translated to English by AINice and quick access to nature. Pleasant communities at the thrift stores and among the students. The odd-job bus initiative is also great. Occasionally some nuisance from homeless people near Sibeliuslaan.
Auto-translated to English by AII've lived here for 10 years now and I notice there's little contact with neighbours and people on the street, also there are more frequent stabbings around the corner. Not the nicest neighbourhood

How residents experience their municipality
Nice quiet neighbourhood, all amenities nearby.
Auto-translated to English by AIQuiet, 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.
Auto-translated to English by AIIt'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.
Auto-translated to English by AIA quiet neighbourhood, with nice people. Small playground, large grass field, lots of trees and bushes, many shops and schools nearby. Live close to a beautiful park with a big playground. Near GP and hospital. Neighbourhood is safe and clean. We really enjoy living here.
Auto-translated to English by AII'm constantly asking for advice. Improving the pavements and removing weeds!!! Rembrantplein and 2 other streets really need to be cleaned.! Remco van Wij Eidhoven and I have also spoken to Trudo, but they won't do anything about it.! It's not their responsibility.!! Will you please do something about this? Vaartbroek also got new paving stones. Thank you for listening.

Auto-translated to English by AIUnfortunately, the neighbourhood is deteriorating. A lot of rubbish is dumped and the police often have to come. Education: there are schools nearby and it's green enough. Shops are conveniently close and the houses have just been completely renovated.
Auto-translated to English by AIPeople 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.
