Heerevelden: a quiet family neighbourhood where people know each other
Heerevelden is located in the north of Tilburg and has the character of a typical Brabant family neighbourhood from the 1970s and 1980s. The neighbourhood has over 2,300 residents, the largest group of whom are between 45 and 65 years old. That says something about the atmosphere: it is quiet, orderly and green, with many terraced houses and semi-detached homes. Families with children form the largest household group, and half of the residents are married. You notice this in the neighbourhood itself: playgrounds are used, the streets are tidy, and there is a certain social cohesion that you find less often in busy city neighbourhoods.
Residents who leave a review on the neighbourhood page of Heerevelden particularly emphasise the peace and safety of the neighbourhood. One resident writes that Heerevelden is "a nice place to raise children, but for real city bustle you really have to go to the centre". That is correct: amenities such as shops, restaurants and culture are not within walking distance. The neighbourhood has a primary school and some daily amenities, but for a full range of shops you have to rely on surrounding neighbourhoods or the centre of Tilburg. Accessibility by car is good, but public transport is limited. If you depend on the bus, you need to take that into account.
The neighbourhood consists of two sub-neighbourhoods: Heerevelden Oost and the adjacent Heerevelden West. The distinction between the two sub-neighbourhoods is subtle, but Oost has slightly more greenery and a slightly quieter street profile. If you are considering looking for a rental home in Heerevelden, it is worth checking which part of the neighbourhood best suits your daily life.

The municipality of Tilburg also has general information about living and amenities in the city at tilburg.nl.
Renting in Heerevelden: who is this suitable for and who is it not?
