Rental homes in Lijnse Hoek Oost, Tilburg

Rental prices and market figures for Lijnse Hoek Oost, Tilburg

Lijnse Hoek Oost is predominantly a rental neighbourhood: 69% of the housing stock consists of rental properties, compared to 31% owner-occupied homes.

Only 4% falls under other (private) landlords.

The average WOZ value is €220,000. That is slightly lower than the district average of Heikant (€229,000) and clearly lower than the Tilburg average of €314,000. This reflects the character of the neighbourhood: modest, functional and affordable compared to other parts of Tilburg.

The average rent in the free sector was €1,793 per month, with a range of €990 to €2,195 per month.

The housing stock largely consists of post-war construction, with porch flats and ground-level terraced houses from the 1960s and 1970s. The buildings are compact but not cramped, partly thanks to the green strips and parks that run through the neighbourhood. The atmosphere is quiet and subdued. With 1,085 residents and 561 homes, it is a relatively small neighbourhood, which contributes to a certain familiarity among neighbours.
