Best things and drawbacks to living in Plein 2
Pros:
- Schijndel station is 1.5 km away with direct trains to Den Bosch and Eindhoven; cycling distance for daily commuters.
- The Catharina-Maria church and town square give the neighborhood an established feel; old-growth trees line the streets.
- Mostly owner-occupied homes with stable residents; low turnover keeps it quiet.
- Supermarkets and pharmacies within walking distance on the main shopping streets.
Cons:

- Limited rental supply makes it harder to gauge the neighborhood before committing.
