De Reit: multicultural, quiet and surprisingly well connected
Residents of De Reit rate their neighbourhood on Buurtje.nl an 8.2 out of 10. That is a solid score, and when you look at the sub-scores you understand why: accessibility and amenities both score 9.3, safety 9.0. The neighbourhood is nestled between the university and the centre of Tilburg, meaning you can be at the station or on the Heuvelstraat within a few minutes. Resident Anita Krist calls it a "versatile neighbourhood", close to public transport, shops, the centre and schools. She emphasises that residents come from all kinds of countries and that there is "actually little nuisance" despite the cultural diversity.
You notice that diversity on the streets. De Reit is not a neighbourhood where everyone has the same profile: only 20% of households are married, and the largest group consists of single-person households (over 3,000). Yet it is not a pronounced student neighbourhood. Resident Davey, who has lived there for almost four years, describes it as "a quiet and safe family neighbourhood" and says he is exclusively positive. The area around Notre Dame has a greener, more village-like character, while towards the University and the campus you find more bustle. The Kastelenbuurt Noord and Kastelenbuurt Zuid are known for their terraced houses and quiet streets, popular with families.
The average energy consumption (2,210 kWh electricity and 590 m³ gas) is on the low side, which fits with the relatively large share of apartments. Green space scores a 7.3, not spectacular, but the Leijpark and the Wandelbos are within cycling distance. The community score of 6.7 is the lowest rating: residents appreciate the peace and amenities, but the neighbourhood feel is not equally strong everywhere. More experiences and detailed neighbourhood data can be found on the De Reit neighbourhood page. The municipality of Tilburg has been investing in the public space of such neighbourhoods in recent years, which could contribute to more connection in the long term.
Is De Reit right for you as a tenant?
With an average rent below €1,000 in the free sector, renting an apartment in De Reit is interesting for starters, singles and young couples who want to live affordably within walking distance of the centre and the university. The large group of 25- to 45-year-olds confirms this. It is also worth considering for students looking for an independent home (not a room), although competition is fierce. For families seeking space and willing to pay a bit more, the Kastelenbuurten are most suitable. If you are looking for more greenery and a stronger neighbourhood feel, De Reit might not be your first choice. Then consider a neighbourhood like Fatima or Armhoef.
