Rental prices and market figures Enschot Oost, Tilburg
Enschot Oost is a pronounced owner-occupied neighbourhood: only 5% of the 485 homes are in the rental sector. Of those rental homes, 2% are owned by housing associations and another 2% by other landlords. Free-sector rental homes are therefore scarce. In the past twelve months, three homes were rented out in the free sector (excluding social housing), with an average rent of €1,518 per month. The range was between €1,353 and €1,600 per month, with an average floor area of 160 m². That works out to about €9.50 per m². By comparison, the average WOZ value in Enschot Oost is €614,000, well above the district average of Berkel-Enschot (€467,000) and far above the Tilburg average of €314,000. That price level is also reflected in the rental market: anyone wanting to rent a home here in the free sector pays more than in most other Tilburg neighbourhoods. Social rental homes are in principle available through the housing associations, but given the 2% share, opportunities are limited and waiting lists are long.

Living in Enschot Oost, Tilburg
Enschot Oost is a quiet, green residential neighbourhood on the eastern side of the village of Berkel-Enschot, on the border between Tilburg and the Brabant countryside. The neighbourhood has a clear village character: wide streets, many detached and semi-detached homes, large gardens and little high-rise. The vast majority of the housing stock dates from the 1970s and 1980s, with occasional newer infill developments. The average WOZ value of €614,000 says enough about the type of home that dominates here: spacious, well-maintained owner-occupied homes for families who consciously choose peace and space.
Facilities in Enschot Oost
The immediate neighbourhood is primarily residential, but the centre of Berkel-Enschot is within cycling distance. There you will find a Jumbo supermarket, a pharmacy, GP practices and a handful of local shops and eateries on the Kerkstraat. Primary schools such as De Tweesprong and De Vuurvlinder are accessible within the village. Sports clubs are well represented: football club RKSV Wilhelmina and tennis club BTC have fields in the area. For more extensive shopping or a larger shopping centre, Tilburg city centre is the place to go, about ten minutes away by car. The proximity of the Brabant countryside, with walking and cycling paths towards the Loonse en Drunense Duinen, is precisely a conscious choice for many residents.

Enschot Oost is easily accessible by car: via the N65 you quickly reach the A65 towards Tilburg city centre or Den Bosch. Tilburg Centraal can be reached by car in about ten to fifteen minutes. By public transport, bus line 140 runs between Berkel-Enschot and Tilburg Centraal, with a travel time of about twenty minutes.

Residents appreciate the peace, space and green surroundings. On the neighbourhood page of Enschot Oost you can read what residents themselves write about their district. One resident describes it as follows: "You live here quietly, have space around you and yet you are within a quarter of an hour in the centre of Tilburg. That is the strength of this place." Criticisms that come up are the limited shopping facilities within walking distance and the dependence on the car or bicycle for daily errands. Anyone used to an urban environment with everything around the corner will need an adjustment period in Enschot Oost.
Compared to neighbouring neighbourhoods such as Oostkamer Oost or the more rural Buitengebied B-E Noord-Oost, Enschot Oost is most recognisable as a classic, neat residential neighbourhood with a village atmosphere but with relatively short lines to the city. The supply of rental homes in Enschot Oost is small; if you want more choice, you can also look at the broader range of rental homes in Berkel-Enschot.
Does a rental home in Enschot Oost suit you?
Enschot Oost is most suitable for families and older households who seek peace, space and a green environment and have no objection to a higher rent in the free sector. Starters and students will find little affordable supply here: the average rent level of €1,518 per month for a home of 160 m² is substantial, and supply is sparse. Anyone looking for an apartment to rent in Enschot Oost will find that this type of home is hardly available here. Social rental homes are theoretically available through Tiwos or WonenBreburg, but the share of housing association homes is minimal at 2% and waiting times are long. So register early if social housing is an option. Also consider owner-occupied homes in Enschot Oost as an alternative, given the high proportion of owner-occupied homes in the neighbourhood. Respond quickly to supply that is for rent: the free-sector supply is limited and homes are usually rented out quickly.
