Living in Bouwmeestersbuurt Noord, Tilburg
Bouwmeestersbuurt Noord is a quiet, predominantly post-war residential neighbourhood in the north of the Bouwmeester district. The housing stock mainly consists of porch flats and terraced houses from the 1960s and 1970s, supplemented by a limited number of more modern apartments. The streetscape is green but sober: trees along the roadway, grass between the buildings, but no pronounced park structure. Resident Tonny describes it as an environment where you can live quietly, with shops within walking distance and a fenced playground for children outside. That characterises the neighbourhood well: functional, clear and not too busy.
The population is mixed. The largest age group consists of 25 to 45-year-olds (565 people), but those aged 45 and over and seniors are also well represented. With 620 single-person households out of 1,097 homes, there are relatively many single people living here. This is reflected in the streetscape: it is not a typical family neighbourhood with many children playing, but rather a neighbourhood where people live quietly alongside each other.
