Living in Broekhoven I, Tilburg
Broekhoven I is a quiet, predominantly post-war residential neighbourhood on the west side of Tilburg. The neighbourhood largely consists of porch flats and terraced houses from the 1960s and 1970s, supplemented by a limited number of later additions. The streetscape is green and clear: wide streets with trees, some playgrounds and a modest but functional layout. It is not a trendy city district, but that is precisely what appeals to many residents. Those seeking peace close to the city will find a stable, mixed neighbourhood with a down-to-earth Tilburg character here.
The largest age group is 25 to 45 years (over 500 residents), but those aged 45 and over are also well represented. With 475 single-person households and only 21% married residents, this is clearly not a typical family neighbourhood, although families do live here too. The mix of ages and backgrounds gives the neighbourhood an everyday, unpretentious character.
