Homes for sale in Jeruzalem, Tilburg

House prices in Jeruzalem: above the Tilburg average, but for a reason

Jeruzalem is not a cheap neighbourhood. The average WOZ value is €360,000, well above the municipal average of €314,000 for Tilburg. That difference is no coincidence: the owner-occupied housing stock largely consists of larger single-family homes and detached houses, which are more common here than in more urban neighbourhoods. Of the 712 homes in the neighbourhood, 41% are owner-occupied, the rest are rented, the vast majority through housing associations. In the past twelve months, eight homes changed hands, with an average sale price of €597,375 and a range of €350,000 to €850,000. The average home had a floor area of 118 m². Supply is therefore limited and the price range wide, indicating that both modest terraced houses and larger detached homes can be found here. Current supply and the average asking price can be found at the top of this page.

Living in Jeruzalem: a quiet neighbourhood with a distinct rhythm

Jeruzalem is located in the southwest of Tilburg and has a character best described as quiet and subdued. Not a bustling city neighbourhood, but not a sleepy suburb either. The area has a solid core of families and people in their fifties; the largest age group is 45- to 65-year-olds. You notice this in the streets: it is generally quiet, there are relatively few students, and the neighbourhood has a certain stability. On the Jeruzalem neighbourhood page you will find resident reviews and detailed neighbourhood data. Residents particularly appreciate the peace and space, but are honest about the fact that the neighbourhood cannot compete with the city centre in terms of liveliness. A recurring point in the reviews is the green environment: there is relatively a lot of greenery in the streets themselves, and the Wandelbos and surrounding parks are accessible by bike.

In terms of amenities, Jeruzalem is functional but not abundantly equipped. For daily groceries, there are supermarkets in the immediate vicinity, including branches on the edge of the neighbourhood towards the Bredaseweg. Primary schools are present in and around the neighbourhood, and for secondary education, students rely on schools elsewhere in Tilburg, easily accessible by bike or bus. Sports clubs are represented, including football and tennis clubs in the wider area of this part of Tilburg. For a larger range of shops or hospitality, the city centre is the destination, about ten to fifteen minutes by bike.

Accessibility by car is good: the neighbourhood is a short distance from the A58 and A65, allowing quick access to Breda, Den Bosch or Eindhoven. Public transport runs via bus connections that connect to Tilburg station, from where you can reach Eindhoven or Breda in about twenty minutes. Cyclists have a reasonable network at their disposal. The adjacent neighbourhoods Jeruzalem Noord and Jeruzalem Zuid each have their own housing mix, and it pays to compare both if you are considering buying in Jeruzalem.

For whom is a home in Jeruzalem a good choice?

Jeruzalem mainly appeals to movers and families looking for space and willing to pay for it. With an average transaction price of nearly €600,000 and only eight sales in the past year, supply is scarce and competition for a good property is real. First-time buyers with a limited budget will find few entry-level homes here; those who are flexible can also look at rental homes in Jeruzalem as an intermediate step. When buying, do not forget the additional costs: transfer tax (2% for non-first-time buyers), notary fees and possible valuation costs add up quickly. Buying an apartment in Jeruzalem is possible but less common than elsewhere in Tilburg.
