Living in Berkel-Enschot: village character within cycling distance of the city
Berkel-Enschot actually consists of two old village cores, Berkel and Enschot, which have grown towards each other over the years but each retained their own character. It is a neighbourhood where you know your neighbours, where children play in the street and where the pace is much slower than in Tilburg city centre. On the neighbourhood page of Berkel-Enschot, residents give the area an 8.6 out of 10. Housing (9.3) and beauty (9.3) score particularly high. Resident Marianne, who has lived there for sixty years, sums it up nicely: "Remains a pleasant and quiet neighbourhood. The elderly are passing away and young families are moving in, but that's normal. They have a right to that too, just like I did back then." This generational shift is clearly visible: the largest age group is 45-65 years, but the influx of families with children (the largest household group with 2,425 households) keeps the village lively.
In terms of amenities, Berkel-Enschot is fairly self-sufficient. In the centre of Berkel you will find an Albert Heijn, a Jumbo and various small specialist shops. There are several primary schools, including De Bienekebolders and 't Ronde. Sports club RKDVC (football) and tennis club De Enschotsebaan are popular with young and old. The Wandelbos and the green edges towards the rural area to the northwest offer extensive walking and cycling routes. Another resident, S, writes about Enschot Midden: "The neighbourhood is quiet and green, with wide streets, safe 30 km/h zones and many play areas where children can run around or cycle freely."
Accessibility is excellent. Tilburg Reeshof station is a ten-minute bike ride away, and with bus line 141 (towards Tilburg Centraal and Oisterwijk) you are in the centre within a quarter of an hour. The A65 and N65 towards 's-Hertogenbosch are reachable within five minutes by car, and via the A58 you are in Eindhoven or Breda within half an hour.

Does Berkel-Enschot suit you as a buyer?
