Living in Leeuwerik Zuid, Tilburg
Leeuwerik Zuid is a quiet, green residential neighbourhood in the west of Tilburg, part of the Leeuwerik district. The neighbourhood has a clear family character: more than half of households consist of families with children, and the largest age group is 45 to 65 years old. This translates into a quiet, stable atmosphere with little turnover. The housing stock largely consists of spacious single-family homes, predominantly built in the 1980s and 1990s.

What tenants and residents say
On the neighbourhood page of Leeuwerik Zuid, the neighbourhood scores an 8.2 out of 10. Particularly high are the scores for housing (9), beauty (9) and education (9).
