Johannes van Zantenstraat 47
Staatsliedenbuurt Oost, Tilburg
NeighbourhoodA 1954 apartment on a street that has seen better days
This apartment on Johannes van Zantenstraat sits in a neighbourhood that residents describe as having lost its community spirit. At 87 m², it's a third smaller than the average home in the area, and the energy label D means running costs will be higher than in many nearby homes. The asking price of €400,000 is on the high side compared to the neighbourhood average of €3,535 per m². For context, there are currently five apartments for sale in the area, with prices ranging from €295,000 to €695,000. This is one of the apartments in Tilburg that offers a compact footprint in a central location.
Staatsliedenbuurt Oost: a neighbourhood in decline, say residents
Based on three reviews, the mood in the Staatsliedenbuurt Oost neighbourhood is downbeat. One resident says: "My husband grew up in this neighbourhood; it used to be pleasant. We've been living here for 17 years now and it has deteriorated badly. The houses have recently been renovated and look very neat, but that's just a facade. It has become impoverished. It's every man for himself. The sense of community is completely gone. I hardly dare to go outside, especially in the evening." Another adds: "Despite the bumps in the road (one in front of our house), they drive like mad and against the direction. Few social contacts, can count them on one hand." The neighbourhood is densely built with 2,776 addresses per km², and two-thirds of homes are single-family houses. Only a quarter are owner-occupied, which is low.
Daily life: shops and schools within walking distance
For your morning bread, SPAR express is just around the corner, and a full SPAR is a couple of streets away. Albert Heijn is a five-minute walk. For school runs, Basisschool De Zuidwester is a five-minute walk, and Kindcentrum Christoffel is about ten minutes on foot. Secondary school Campus 013 is also within a ten-minute walk. A GP and a park are both on your doorstep. The train station is a 2.6 km walk, so you'd cycle or take a bus. The municipality of Tilburg manages the area.

My husband grew up in this neighbourhood; it used to be pleasant. We've been living here for 17 years now and it has deteriorated badly. The houses have recently been renovated and look very neat, but that's just a facade. It has become impoverished. It's every man for himself. The sense of community is completely gone. I hardly dare to go outside, especially in the evening. Also, a councillor from Delft is ruining the infrastructure.

Frequently asked questions
About Johannes van Zantenstraat 47, Tilburg
Is €400,000 a fair price for this apartment?
The asking price of €400,000 works out at about €4,598 per m², which is above the neighbourhood average of €3,535 per m² for homes currently for sale. However, the apartment is smaller than average (87 m² vs 130 m²), and its energy label D is less efficient than most of the local stock. Given that recently sold homes in the area went for an average of €352,690, the price is on the high side.
What is the energy label and what does it mean?
The energy label is D. This means the home is not particularly energy-efficient, so you can expect higher heating and electricity bills compared to a home with a better label. In the neighbourhood, most homes for sale have a better label: 28.6% are A+, 14.3% are A, and 57.1% are C. None of the current listings have a label D or lower.
How safe is the Staatsliedenbuurt Oost neighbourhood?
Residents report feeling unsafe, especially in the evening. One says: "I hardly dare to go outside, especially in the evening." Another mentions speeding cars and a lack of social control. The total number of recorded crimes in the neighbourhood is 116, but the data does not break this down by type. The reviews suggest that safety is a concern.
What is the public transport like?
The nearest train station is 2.6 km away, which is about a 30-minute walk or a short cycle. The neighbourhood is very urban (address density 2,776 per km²), so public transport connections are generally good in Tilburg.
Are there parks or green spaces nearby?
Yes, a park or public garden is just 0.3 km away, so it's on your doorstep. This is a plus in a densely built neighbourhood. There are also restaurants within 0.5 km and a library at 3.3 km.
What is the neighbourhood like for families?
The neighbourhood has a mix of ages: 320 children under 15, 310 aged 15-24, and 670 aged 25-44. There are 295 households with children and 225 without. However, residents report a lack of community spirit and say it's "every man for himself." Schools are within walking distance, but the social environment may not be ideal for families seeking a close-knit community.
