At €235,000, this studio is the cheapest home currently for sale in the Schrijversbuurt and 67% below the neighbourhood average asking price of €711,063. However, it's also much smaller than average (36 m² vs 152 m²). The price per square metre works out at about €6,528, which is above the neighbourhood average of €5,365 per m². So while the total price is low, you're paying a premium for the compact size.
The energy label is C, which is average for a home of this age (built in 1935). In the neighbourhood, 46.2% of homes have label C, and 23.1% have label A. A C label means reasonable energy efficiency, but you can expect moderate heating costs. It's not as efficient as a modern home, but better than older properties with labels D or lower.
One resident says: "I never have to worry about my safety and it's not a busy neighbourhood. Few cars drive through, so it's quite quiet."

How residents experience their neighbourhood
I never have to worry about my safety and it's not a busy neighbourhood. Few cars drive through, so it's quite quiet. I think there could be more nature, but that's the only thing. In the neighbourhood there is an Albert Heijn, a bakery, restaurants and a PostNL shop. So everything is nearby.

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.
