The asking price of €450,000 is on the high side compared to the neighbourhood average of €410,095, but it reflects the larger plot and the fact that terraced houses in Eindhoven are in steady demand.

About Generaal van der Leythenlaan 17, Eindhoven
The asking price of €450,000 is above the neighbourhood average of €410,095 and the median of €400,000. However, the house has a larger-than-average plot (140 m² vs. 96 m² average) and is a terraced house, which typically commands a premium. Comparable homes in the area sold for an average of €395,000, so the price is on the high side but not unreasonable given the plot size.
The energy label is C, which is an official registration (EP-Online). Label C is in the middle of the scale: it is not the most efficient, but also not the least. Expect moderate energy costs compared to a label A home, but lower than a label G. The label does not directly indicate the condition of the insulation or heating system.
The nearest train station is 2.5 km away, which is about a 30-minute walk or a short cycle ride.
Several primary schools are within walking distance. Rapenland is just 226 m away, Evangelische Basisschool Online is 543 m, and SALTO-school Cornelis Jetses is 693 m. For secondary education, the nearest school is about 1 km away.
The floor area is 86 m², which typically accommodates two to three bedrooms, but you would need to check the layout with the agent.
The plot size is 140 m², which suggests there is outdoor space, but the listing does not explicitly mention a garden.

How residents experience their district
Too many houses with difficult cases and too many slumlords
Auto-translated to English by AIIn recent years it has become a terrible mess. And when it comes to the flats (most of the homes), this is because many newer residents leave their rubbish next to the underground containers instead of putting it in. It doesn't fit, for example, because people fill the rubbish bags far too full. Also, a huge number of younger people have come to live here, while the flats were actually intended for seniors. This manifests itself particularly in noise nuisance, in directly adjacent homes. And this to the extreme, you can hear each other talking, farting, etc. etc....

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.
