Neighborhoods
Where expats live around Eindhoven.
A short, honest guide to the main areas we help clients move into.
Centrum
You'll walk to work if you're at TU/e or in town. Cafés, restaurants, canals, and the weekly market. Great for singles and couples who want everything at the door.
Strijp-S
Former Philips factory halls turned into lofts, restaurants, and design studios. Popular with tech and creative expats. New-build apartments dominate.
Woensel
Eindhoven's biggest district. Green, family-friendly, more space for your money. Good schools, easy access to the ring road.
Tongelre
Quiet 1930s streets, gardens, and old brick townhouses. A favorite for families who want space without leaving the city.
Stratum
South of the center. A mix of pre-war streets, student housing, and the Genneper Parken green belt.
Gestel
Quiet residential area south of the center with leafy streets, family homes, and quick access to the Dommel valley and Genneper Parken.
Meerhoven
A newly built district on the west side, close to the airport and ASML. Wide streets, modern apartments and family homes, and a lot of international neighbours.
Villapark
Eindhoven's most elegant streets: 1920s villas, mature trees, and a short bike ride to the centre. Limited supply, so listings go fast.
Philipsdorp
The original Philips workers' village next to Strijp-S. Small brick houses, walkable, and full of character.
Blixembosch
Family suburb at the north edge of the city. Lots of green, playgrounds, schools nearby, and quick access to the ring road.
Acht
A former village absorbed by the city, north-west near the High Tech Campus route. Quiet, low-rise, and handy for the A50/A2.
Waalre
Known for a peaceful residential character, natural surroundings, and high quality of life.
Nuenen
Van Gogh's village. Old church, small square, and detached homes with gardens. Village life, ten minutes from the city.
Veldhoven
The town next door to ASML. Convenient if the campus is your daily commute. Family-oriented, modern housing stock.
Geldrop
Small town on the eastern edge. Good value, own train station, family homes with more square meters per euro.
's-Hertogenbosch
A beautiful historic city with a famous cathedral, great restaurants, and a lively cultural scene. Popular with expats who want a bigger city feel while staying within easy reach of Eindhoven.
Helmond
A modern city east of Eindhoven with good shopping, green spaces, and more affordable housing. The historic castle adds charm to an otherwise practical choice.
