The buildings largely consist of pre-war and post-war terraced houses and porch flats, with the occasional small-scale apartment complex.

Residents describe the neighbourhood as quiet and friendly for a place so close to the centre. One resident writes: "Quiet and central", and that's true: Goirke Noord is just outside the hustle and bustle of the city centre, but has everything the city has to offer within easy reach. Another resident points out the social atmosphere in their apartment complex: helpful, safe and good contact with neighbours. At the same time, honesty is in order: Floor writes that sometimes shady characters walk around in the evening, which is not always pleasant. The resident safety score is 8.0 out of 10, which is relatively high, but it is good to take this into account.

Facilities in Goirke Noord

For sports and recreation, residents rely on the broader offering in Tilburg, including sports clubs and swimming pools elsewhere in the city. Schools in the area score a 7.6 among residents, indicating that the educational offering in the immediate vicinity is considered more than adequate.

Several bus routes run through or past the neighbourhood. By car, the A58 (towards Eindhoven and Breda) is quickly reachable. Cycling to the centre takes at most five to ten minutes. Parking can sometimes be a challenge in older urban neighbourhoods like this; in some streets a permit system applies, so check this in advance if you have a car. One resident notes that at her home there is no access for cars, which in summer actually turns out to be cosy: drinking coffee outside with neighbours in a car-free inner garden.
