Rochusbuurt, Eindhoven
NeighbourhoodThis 1924 semi-detached house on Hoefkestraat sits in the lively Rochusbuurt, a stone's throw from Eindhoven's centre. With 196 m² of living space and a 186 m² plot, it's a generous home in a sought-after part of town. The asking price of €685,000 is 52% above the neighbourhood average of €449,596, but the floor area is more than double the local norm of 91 m², so the price per m² is actually in line with the market. For context, semi-detached houses in Eindhoven are scarce, which helps explain the premium.

The asking price is 52% above the neighbourhood average of €449,596, but this house is much larger than typical homes in the Rochusbuurt. With 196 m² of floor area, it's more than double the local average of 91 m². The price per square metre works out to about €3,495, which is below the neighbourhood average of €5,719 per m². So while the total price is high, you're getting significantly more space for your money.
The home has energy label C. This is a decent rating for a house built in 1924. In the neighbourhood, 36% of homes have label A, 28% label B, 20% label C, and 16% are D or lower. Label C means the home is reasonably efficient, but you can expect moderate energy costs. It's not the most efficient, but it's better than many older homes in the area.
Eindhoven's central station is 2.2 km away, which is about a 25-minute walk or a short bike ride.

How residents experience their district
I've lived here since 1994 and don't want to leave for as long as my life allows. The living comfort is sublime, and in summer you feel like you're in Italy or Greece because of the white houses. It's fairly safe to live here; there's neighbourhood watch and residents keep a close eye on everything. It's a great privilege to live here. All shops and healthcare facilities are within walking distance, as is the centre of Eindhoven. I want to keep living here!!!
Auto-translated to English by AII've known this neighbourhood in Eindhoven for a while, but I've been living here myself for a few months now. I moved here from a less pleasant area and the difference is noticeable. Apart from occasional nuisance from motorbikes and partying people from Stratum, this neighbourhood is really great. Lots of greenery, close to the station and the Jumbo, it's very nice.
Auto-translated to English by AII think the neighbourhood is beautiful because it is very green. There is also one very nice playground with a dog poo field and a log cabin with fun activities.

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 AIVery safe and protected for my children, nice neighbours
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.
