Rental prices and market figures Tivoli, Eindhoven
Tivoli is a pronounced rental neighbourhood: no less than 94% of the more than 820 homes are rental properties, of which 92% are owned by a housing association. This makes the share of private sector rentals in Tivoli exceptionally small. Over the past twelve months, only one home was rented out in the private sector, for a rent of €1,282 per month with an area of 84 m². That works out to about €15.26 per m² per month. For comparison: this is lower than what you pay on average in many other Eindhoven districts, but it also says little due to the limited number of transactions. Current rental prices for available rental properties can be found at the top of this page.
The average WOZ value in Tivoli is €289,000, significantly lower than the district average of Putten (€389,000) and the municipal average of Eindhoven (€360,000). The average income of €24,200 per year is also well below the Eindhoven average of €38,200. This reflects the social rental character of the neighbourhood. For those looking for a social rental home, Tivoli is one of the few neighbourhoods in Eindhoven where the vast majority of the housing stock falls into that segment. Registering with a housing association is therefore the most common route. For the current state of supply and average rental speed, see the overview at the top of this page.
Living in Tivoli, Eindhoven
Tivoli is a compact post-war residential neighbourhood in the southeast of Eindhoven, part of the district Putten. The neighbourhood was built in the 1960s and 1970s and consists mainly of porch flats and terraced houses owned by housing associations. The streetscape is quiet and orderly, with plenty of greenery between the housing blocks. Tivoli has no busy shopping street or concentration of hospitality venues within its own boundaries, giving the neighbourhood a residential, subdued atmosphere.
The population composition is diverse: the largest group of residents is between 25 and 45 years old (440 people), but the 45-65 age group is also strongly represented (430 people). With 415 single-person households out of a total of about 1,530 residents, the neighbourhood is strongly oriented towards singles. Only 24% of households are married, and the labour participation rate is 50%, which is below the Eindhoven average. This gives Tivoli a social profile that leans heavily on social tenants, people in a more vulnerable labour market position, and the elderly.
