Schrijversbuurt is a compact, quiet residential neighbourhood in the Korvel district, west of Tilburg city centre. The neighbourhood takes its name from streets named after writers and poets, a detail that immediately says something about its character: a bit reserved, no striking architecture, just a neighbourhood where people live comfortably without making the headlines. The housing stock mainly consists of terraced houses and smaller apartments from the 1950s and 1960s, with occasional later additions. The homes are compact but functional, and the streets are relatively green thanks to trees and small front gardens.
