Living in Koolhoven Noord, Tilburg
Koolhoven Noord is a quiet, green residential neighbourhood on the northwest side of Tilburg.

The streetscape is dominated by spacious detached homes, semi-detached houses and terraced houses, almost all owner-occupied. The architecture is relatively young and well-maintained, which partly explains the high resident score for beauty (9.0 out of 10). Rental homes are few, and when a home is available for rent in Koolhoven Noord, it is usually a larger family home in the private sector.
