Leeuwerik: a quiet family neighbourhood where residents like to stay
Those who live in Leeuwerik rarely leave voluntarily.

One reviewer describes Leeuwerik as a place where everything is right: quiet streets, tidy surroundings and good schools within walking distance. Accessibility is the only point where residents are slightly more critical, with a score of 7. Leeuwerik is located in the western part of Tilburg, in the Reeshof, and is easily accessible by car, but those dependent on public transport will find it takes a bit more effort to reach the city centre.
The neighbourhood consists of several sub-areas, each with its own character. Leeuwerik Midden forms the heart of the neighbourhood, while Leeuwerik West and Leeuwerik Oost are laid out more quietly with more greenery and spacious plots. Leeuwerik Zuid, Dalemweide and Reeshofweide also fall under the larger Leeuwerik area and each offer a slightly different living environment. The neighbourhood particularly attracts families: more than 1,140 households with children and a large group of residents between 45 and 65 years old. That sets the tone: it is quiet, tidy and socially engaged, but certainly not bustling or urban.
Facilities are present but not extensive. For daily shopping, you can go to the nearby shopping centres in the Reeshof. For a wider range of shops, dining and culture, the city centre of Tilburg is the place to go, about a ten-minute drive away. The municipality informs residents about local developments via tilburg.nl.
