Kastanjelaan 53
Schoot, Eindhoven
A classic semi-detached home on Kastanjelaan
This 1921 semi-detached house sits on a leafy street in Schoot, a corner of Eindhoven that has quietly changed character over the years. With a floor area of 116 m² and a remarkably large plot of 10,940 m², it is a home with real presence. The rent of €572 is 67% below the neighbourhood average of €1,746, which puts it on the keen side of the market. For context, semi-detached houses in Eindhoven are scarce, so this one stands out.
The Schoot neighbourhood
Schoot is a neighbourhood where people stay. One resident, who has lived there for over 36 years, says: "I know everyone on my street. We also hold neighbourhood barbecues. There's a street app and everyone is there for each other when needed." Another, there since 1988, describes it as "the convenience of the city with the cosiness of a village", adding that "almost everything I need is within walking or cycling distance". Both mention the arrival of Strijp-S next door, which has brought more bustle and things to do, though they lament the slow disappearance of the small local pubs. Based on two reviews, the picture is of a close-knit, sociable street that has adapted well to change. The Schoot neighbourhood is home to many single-person households, with a large share of residents in their late twenties to mid-forties.
Life on the street
Daily errands are simple from here. For groceries, Albert Heijn is just around the corner, with a Lidl a couple of streets away and a Jumbo within a ten-minute walk. For school runs, Basisschool Trudo is a five-minute walk, while secondary options include SintLucas and Olympia vmbo. The train station is 1.6 km away, and the surrounding area, the municipality of Eindhoven, has plenty to explore, especially with Strijp-S so close.
