Buying a home in Groote Heide, Leende.
Groote Heide sits on the edge of Leende, where you get proper countryside houses on decent plots rather than urban density. The N277 runs close by, so you're genuinely quick to Eindhoven or the Kempen forests. Your neighbours tend to be people who chose this exact trade-off: space over walkability, nature over shops on the corner. The village has a quiet backbone, a few local amenities, and you'll find a genuine mix of established families and newcomers who wanted to escape the suburbs.
