Living in Auteursbuurt, Tilburg

Auteursbuurt owes its name to the streets named after Dutch writers and poets: Multatulistraat, Bilderdijkstraat and Potgieterstraat are examples. That literary naming suits the atmosphere of the neighbourhood: quiet, a bit refined, with residents who have consciously chosen to live here.

The neighbourhood largely consists of single-family homes from the 1950s and 1960s, with a recognisable post-war streetscape: terraced houses with front and back gardens, occasionally a detached or semi-detached house. The homes are solidly built but sometimes require modernisation. The average gas consumption of 1,060 m³ per year indicates that insulation can still be improved in many cases, although there are also renovated homes with better energy labels.

In terms of location, Auteursbuurt is favourably situated in the south of Tilburg. Wandelbos, Tilburg's large city park, is within cycling distance and is a daily destination for many residents. For daily groceries, you can go to the supermarkets in the nearby shopping strips; the Wandelboswinkels cluster on Ringbaan-Zuid offers an Albert Heijn and various smaller shops. Tilburg city centre can be reached by bike in about twenty minutes, faster by car via Ringbaan-Zuid or the N261. Bus connections to the centre run regularly via the surrounding main roads.

The neighbourhood is quiet, green and clear. There are no major traffic arteries running through it, which benefits the quality of life. Residents appreciate the low social pressure and pleasant neighbours. On the neighbourhood main page of Auteursbuurt you can read what residents themselves write about life here, including scores per category such as safety, green space and amenities.

A resident describes the neighbourhood as follows: "It is quiet here without being boring. You know your neighbours, the streets are clean and Wandelbos is literally around the corner. I wouldn't want to live anywhere else in Tilburg."

Compared to neighbouring district Kleurenbuurt Zuid, Auteursbuurt is slightly quieter and less diverse in housing supply. Het Wandelbos / Drijflanen is even closer to the park and has a similarly quiet character, but sometimes has higher prices for detached homes. Those making a choice within the Wandelbos Zuid district would do well to look at the purchase market in Wandelbos Zuid as a whole for a more complete picture.

The largest age group in Auteursbuurt is 65-plus, with 400 of the 1,370 residents. That says something about the stability of the neighbourhood: people live here for a long time. The proportion of families with children is limited; most households consist of couples without children. That makes the neighbourhood less lively than some other Tilburg neighbourhoods, but also quieter and more orderly.

Is a home for sale in Auteursbuurt right for you?

Auteursbuurt mainly appeals to movers and seniors looking for peace, space and a green living environment.

Then look at the rental homes in Auteursbuurt as an intermediate step. The broader purchase market in Tilburg also offers alternatives in lower price ranges, for example in Armhoef or Jeruzalem.
