Homes for sale in De Reit, Tilburg

House prices in De Reit: more affordable than the Tilburg average, but with outliers

De Reit is predominantly a rental district: 66% of the housing stock consists of rental properties, a large portion of which are owned by housing associations. Only 34% are owner-occupied homes. This makes the supply limited, but also interesting for those looking for something outside the busiest housing markets of Tilburg. The average WOZ value in De Reit is €256,000, clearly below the municipal average of €314,000. However, actual transaction prices paint a different picture: over the past twelve months, 29 homes were sold with an average purchase price of €435,983. The range runs from €250,000 to €975,000, with an average living area of 104 m². This difference between WOZ and transaction price says something about market pressure.

Living in De Reit: versatile, well-connected and quieter than you'd expect

De Reit is not a district you describe in one word. It is a mixed urban district south of Tilburg city centre, with a population that is young and diverse. The largest group of residents is between 25 and 45 years old, and single-person households form the majority. This translates into a lively but not noisy atmosphere. Resident Anita describes it as a "versatile neighbourhood" where people from all kinds of countries live together, with remarkably little nuisance given that diversity. Davey, who has lived there for almost four years, simply calls it a quiet and safe family neighbourhood about which he can only be positive. On the district page of De Reit you will find all resident reviews and the full district data. The average resident score is 8.2 out of 10, with highs for accessibility (9.3) and amenities (9.3). These are not marketing figures; they are what residents themselves fill in.

Those high scores for accessibility and amenities match what you experience on the ground. Tilburg station is within cycling distance, and several bus routes run through or past the district towards the city centre and beyond. Via the A58 and A65 you are quickly on the motorway. Shops for daily groceries are easily accessible, and Tilburg city centre is just a few minutes away. Within De Reit itself there are several neighbourhoods, each with its own character. The Notre Dame neighbourhood and the Abdij- en Torenbuurt have a quieter, residential area character, while the area around the Universiteit Campus has more dynamism due to the proximity of Tilburg University. The presence of the university also ensures a young audience and associated amenities in the immediate vicinity.

Green space scores slightly lower (7.3), which is accurate: De Reit is an urban district and not a green suburb. There are playgrounds and smaller green spaces, but those looking for a large garden or extensive parks would be better off looking at the edges of the municipality. Schools and education score well (8.7), which is relevant for families. Primary schools are accessible in and around the district, and secondary education in Tilburg is well served by public transport. Living in De Reit means urban living with good connections, a mixed population and relatively affordable purchase prices compared to districts such as the Binnenstad or Hoogvenne.

For whom is buying in De Reit a realistic option?

First-time buyers looking for a home to buy in Tilburg but not wanting to overbid in the most expensive districts can explore their opportunities here. The entry price of €250,000 is realistic for smaller homes or apartments. Buying an apartment in De Reit is therefore one of the more accessible options in the city. Families considering buying a home in De Reit benefit from the good schools and quiet neighbourhoods. However, do take into account additional costs: transfer tax (2% for owner-occupiers over 35, 0% for first-time buyers up to €510,000 in 2024), notary fees and any renovation costs. The supply changes quickly. Those not yet ready to take the step to buying can also look at rental properties in De Reit.
