Living in Luchthavenbuurt Oost, Tilburg
Luchthavenbuurt Oost is a compact, urban neighbourhood in the Het Zand district, directly adjacent to Tilburg city centre. The neighbourhood has a distinctly youthful atmosphere: nearly 38% of the 1,315 residents are between 15 and 25 years old, and the majority of households consist of single people (710 out of all households). Only 19% of residents are married. This says something about the character of the neighbourhood: it is not a family neighbourhood in the traditional sense, but a place where students, young professionals and first-time buyers set the tone.
The housing stock mainly consists of apartments and smaller homes that fit the urban scale of Het Zand. The labour participation rate of 57% confirms that a significant portion of residents are studying or in the early stages of their careers.
Facilities in Luchthavenbuurt Oost
One of the neighbourhood's strongest assets is its proximity to daily amenities. Resident Nirjha describes her living situation as follows: "I live next to a shopping centre and a park and next to my university. There is a bus stop next to my home, so travelling is easy. Everything is clean and I am very satisfied with where I live." That shopping centre provides supermarket coverage within walking distance, which is a practical advantage for a neighbourhood with so many single-person households. Tilburg University is within cycling distance or even walking distance for some residents, which partly explains why the neighbourhood is so attractive to students. There is also green space: the park Nirjha refers to gives the neighbourhood breathing room despite the urban density. The sub-scores for green space and facilities are both 10 out of 10, which residents clearly appreciate. Want to know more about the neighbourhood?
