Living in Centrumgebied Zuid Gilze, Gilze en Rijen

Centrumgebied Zuid Gilze is the southern part of the village centre of Gilze, a relatively quiet Brabant village that clearly has its own character. The neighbourhood consists largely of post-war buildings, with a mix of porch flats, ground-level terraced houses and a few smaller apartment complexes.

Striking about the population composition is the strong presence of over-65s: with 490 residents in this age group, seniors are by far the largest group. This colours the character of the neighbourhood: it is quiet, social cohesion is relatively high, and the range of care and facilities ties in with that. Single-person households are the most common household type (220 of households), which is also visible in the types of homes you find there.
