Living in De Hasselt: an honest picture of an average neighbourhood
De Hasselt scores a 6.3 out of 10 on Buurtje.nl based on resident reviews. That's not an outlier on the high side, and residents are honest about it. Michael, a resident, labels the neighbourhood "Average Neighbourhood" and writes: "Mediocre, often a lot of trouble with youngsters on fatbikes or cars driving the wrong way or too fast. Too few parking spaces, also because many people have two or even three cars." That parking problem is something you notice daily, especially in the densely built-up areas around de Nassaubuurt and Kasteel Oost. The narrow streets are simply not designed for current car ownership.
Yet De Hasselt also has its strengths. The score for housing is notably high at 8.0: residents are relatively satisfied with their home itself. This is partly because homes in the Textielbuurt, both the western and eastern part, have been renovated in recent years. Safety scores a 7.0, which is quite reasonable for a neighbourhood at this distance from the city centre. In terms of community spirit (5.0) and amenities (6.0), there is room for improvement. Basic amenities such as supermarkets and a GP are available, but for extensive shopping or going out, you rely on the Tilburg city centre, which is within cycling distance. Public transport accessibility is moderate: bus routes run through the neighbourhood, but Tilburg station is about a twenty-minute bike ride away. The municipality of Tilburg invests in liveability projects in this part of the city; more information can be found on the website of the municipality of Tilburg.
