What does a rental property cost in Groenewoud?
Groenewoud is a neighbourhood where renting is the norm: 60% of the more than 3,250 homes are rental properties, and as many as 54% are owned by housing associations. This means that the supply in the private sector is relatively limited. In the past twelve months, only ten homes were rented out in the private sector, at an average rent of €1,931 per month. The range varied from €560 to €2,250 per month, with an average floor area of 99 m². That is substantial, especially when compared to the average disposable income of €27,500 in this neighbourhood, well below the Tilburg average of €34,000.
The WOZ value in Groenewoud is €264,000, about €50,000 lower than the municipal average of Tilburg. This makes the neighbourhood affordable on paper, but in practice it is mainly the social housing sector that ensures lower housing costs. Anyone wanting to rent a flat in the private sector will pay a hefty amount here.

Cosy, green and safe: how residents experience Groenewoud
On Buurtje.nl, Groenewoud scores an 8.5 out of 10 based on resident experiences. What immediately stands out are the top scores for accessibility (10.0) and safety (9.5). Resident Riquel sums it up succinctly: "It feels very safe and there are plenty of opportunities to walk the dog." That combination of greenery and tranquillity is characteristic of the neighbourhood. This is especially noticeable in areas such as Groenewoud Oost and the southern part: quiet streets, lots of greenery and short connections to the countryside towards the Reeshof.
Yet it is not all peace and nature. Resident Henk van Berkel mentions the mutual involvement: "Helpful, they are there for each other." Riquel confirms this with her remark that neighbourhood parties used to be organised regularly. The Vogeltjesbuurt West and the Landbouwbuurt are known for that sense of community. The community score of 9.0 is therefore no surprise. Groenewoud is a neighbourhood where neighbours still keep an eye on each other's homes and where you are quickly accepted as a newcomer.
One recurring point of criticism: the amenities score the lowest at 7.5. Henk notes that there is only a Jumbo and that an Aldi or Lidl is missed, "especially for the elderly". For daily groceries you can manage fine, but for more variety you need to go to the shopping area near the Binnenstad or to Waalwijk shopping centre. Accessibility partly compensates for this: bus lines towards the centre stop at several places in the neighbourhood and by car you are quickly on the A65.

Renting in Groenewoud: for whom and for whom not?
With many single-person households (1,505 of the approximately 3,600 households) and a large group of 25- to 45-year-olds, Groenewoud is popular among singles and young couples. The labour participation rate of 58% and the relatively low education level (17% highly educated) indicate that this is a working-class neighbourhood in the positive sense: down-to-earth, affordable through housing association homes, and without pretensions. For families with school-age children, the score of 8.5 for education is a plus. However, anyone dependent on a rental home in the private sector must reckon with limited supply and prices that can rise sharply. Looking for more space or ownership?
