What does Dijkstraten offer?
Best is a working-class neighbourhood where you'll find plenty of families with children, especially around Wilhelminastraat and the Zuiderpark district. The homes are mostly 1950s to 1980s stock: compact terraced houses and a few detached properties, affordable and solid rather than fancy. You're right next to Eindhoven (ten minutes by bike to the city centre), so you get the quiet of a smaller town without being cut off. The neighbourhood runs on everyday life: primary schools, a couple of good restaurants, and the Dommel river for walks.
