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

About Ockeghemstraat 8, Eindhoven
The asking price of €350,000 is 28% below the average asking price of €485,150 in Bennekel-Oost. However, the home is smaller than average (76 m² vs 115 m²) and has an E energy label, which is less efficient than most homes for sale in the neighbourhood. Recently sold homes in the area went for an average of €427,588, so the price is in line with the market given the size and condition.
The energy label is E, which means the home is not very energy-efficient. In Bennekel-Oost, most homes for sale have better labels: 18.2% have A+, 36.4% have A, and 9.1% have B. Only 9.1% have D or lower. An E label means higher heating costs to expect, and you may want to consider improvements like insulation or double glazing.
Residents describe it as quiet and green, with quick access to nature. One says it's a "quiet, relaxing neighbourhood", while another mentions pleasant communities at thrift stores and among students. However, a third resident notes little neighbourly contact and occasional nuisance near Sibeliuslaan. The neighbourhood has a mixed demographic, with many singles and some families.
Albert Heijn and Lidl supermarkets are both within a five-minute walk. Primary school De Kameleon is 244 metres away, and several secondary schools are within 1.2 km. A GP is 400 metres away, and a park is just 300 metres from the home. The train station is 4 km away.
The living area of 76 m² is 34% smaller than the neighbourhood average of 115 m² for homes for sale. The plot of 190 m² is also modest. This makes it a compact terraced house, suitable for a small household or someone looking for a lower entry price in the area.
Recently sold homes in the neighbourhood took an average of 57 days to sell. This is a reasonable timeframe, indicating a balanced market. The current home has been listed at a price below the average, which may attract interest.
One resident mentions "more frequent stabbings around the corner" and describes the area as "ghetto". However, another resident finds it quiet and relaxing.
