Homes for sale in Loven-Besterd, Tilburg

House prices in Loven-Besterd: below the Tilburg average, but rising

Of the more than 2,800 homes in Loven-Besterd, 46% are owner-occupied, the rest are rented out, a large proportion of which by private landlords (39%). This makes the neighbourhood a mixed residential area where owner-occupied and rental properties are interspersed. The average WOZ value is €262,000, clearly below the municipal average of €314,000 for Tilburg. Yet actual transaction prices are higher: over the past twelve months, 80 homes were sold at an average purchase price of €365,330, with a range of €178,800 to €1,300,000 and an average living area of 97 m². The supply therefore varies widely, from small apartments to larger single-family homes. See the current supply and the average asking price at the top of this page.

Loven-Besterd from the inside: what residents say and what you'll find there

Living in Loven-Besterd is not for everyone, and residents themselves say so. On the neighbourhood page of Loven-Besterd, there is a resident score of 3.2 out of 10, based on reviews from people who actually live there. Safety scores best (6.0), but accessibility (1.0), green space (2.0) and sense of community (2.0) are rated downright poor. One resident describes the neighbourhood as a place where you see little greenery, the area has little cohesion and public transport leaves much to be desired. These are no minor caveats if you are considering buying a home here.

Concretely, this means the following: the neighbourhood borders the centre of Tilburg and therefore has access to amenities, but the neighbourhood itself is austere. There are primary schools in the area, including schools in the adjacent neighbourhood Besterd, and supermarkets are within cycling distance towards the city centre or via the Ringbaan. A neighbourhood park or extensive green area is largely absent within Loven-Besterd itself. For more greenery, you need to head towards Loven Noord or Loven Oost, where the buildings are slightly more spaced out and there is more room for green strips.

In terms of accessibility, the picture is twofold. By car, the A58 and A65 are reasonably quickly reachable via the Ringbaan. But public transport scores poorly in the reviews, and that matches reality: although bus routes run via the surrounding roads, a direct and frequent connection to Tilburg station is lacking for part of the neighbourhood. By bike, you can reach the centre and station in about ten minutes, which is the most logical choice for many residents. If you rely on public transport, it is advisable to check this in advance via the municipality of Tilburg.

For whom is buying in Loven-Besterd realistic?

Loven-Besterd mainly attracts young singles and couples: the largest age group is 25 to 45 years old and more than half of households consist of one person. First-time buyers purchasing an apartment in Loven-Besterd benefit from the relatively low entry price (from around €178,800), but must take into account additional costs such as transfer tax (2% for non-first-time buyers, 0% for first-time buyers under the exemption limit) and notary fees. Families looking for more space and greenery would do better to also look at Loven Zuid or neighbourhoods such as Hoogvenne. If you are still unsure about buying, you can also look at rental properties in Loven-Besterd as an intermediate solution.
