Living in Notre Dame, Tilburg
Notre Dame is a quiet, somewhat subdued neighbourhood in the south of Tilburg, located in the De Reit district. The name refers to the church of the same name that long formed the heart of the neighbourhood. The streetscape is dominated mainly by post-war terraced houses and porch flats from the 1950s and 1960s, with a few later additions here and there. It is not a neighbourhood that stands out for architectural features, but rather for its quiet, orderly layout and the human scale of the streets.
The population composition says a lot about the character of Notre Dame. With 480 residents aged 65 and over, this is the largest age group in a neighbourhood of 1,550 people. Many long-term residents, single-person households (510 in total) and a relatively low proportion of families with children. This gives the neighbourhood a calm, stable atmosphere. At the same time, there is also an active group of 25-45 year olds (435 people), which provides some dynamism without the neighbourhood losing its quiet character.
For daily shopping, you hardly need to leave Notre Dame. Supermarkets and shops are within cycling distance along the Bredaseweg and towards Tilburg city centre. For a wider range of shops, the city centre, with the Heuvelstraat and the Pieter Vreedeplein, can be reached within ten to fifteen minutes by bike or public transport. Arriva bus lines connect the neighbourhood to Tilburg Central Station, from where trains depart towards Breda, Den Bosch and Eindhoven. Motorists can quickly reach the A58 towards Breda or the A65 towards Den Bosch via the Bredaseweg. The neighbourhood thus has an excellent location for those seeking a quiet living environment with good connections to the rest of Brabant.
Green space is present in Notre Dame, but not abundant. The Reeshofvijvers and the Wandelbos are a short cycle ride away, and the Leijpark is also accessible. Within the neighbourhood itself, there are smaller green strips and playgrounds, but if you want to walk in the park every day, you are a bit further from home. Primary schools in and around the neighbourhood serve the younger families living there. For secondary education, residents rely on schools elsewhere in Tilburg, which is easily accessible given the location.
Residents of Notre Dame particularly appreciate the peace and affordability of the neighbourhood. On the Notre Dame neighbourhood main page you will find all resident reviews and neighbourhood scores. One resident writes: "It's nice and quiet here, you know your neighbours and there is little nuisance. Not the most exciting neighbourhood, but that's not what I'm looking for either." That sums up the character well. Criticism sometimes focuses on the outdated streetscape and the limited dining and entertainment options directly in the neighbourhood itself. Those seeking liveliness will find it more in the nearby Abdij- en Torenbuurt or near the Universiteitsbuurt, which has a younger and more active character. The Kastelenbuurt Noord also offers a different living environment within the same district.
