Living in Rauwbraken, Tilburg

Rauwbraken is a quiet, green residential neighbourhood on the edge of Berkel-Enschot, at the point where the built-up area gradually transitions into the Brabant countryside. The neighbourhood has a village character, but is close enough to Tilburg to reach urban amenities quickly. The homes are predominantly detached houses and semi-detached houses, largely built in the 1970s and 1980s, with occasional newer infill. Large plots, spacious gardens and wide streets are more the rule than the exception.

The population composition reflects that tranquillity: the largest group of residents is between 45 and 65 years old, followed by those aged 65 and over. Yet there is movement. Long-time resident Marianne describes it aptly: "Cosy, I know most people well, but as everywhere, the older ones are passing away and new young families are moving in to replace them, but that's normal. It just requires quite a bit of adjustment for those left behind with all these changes of residents." She immediately adds: "It remains a nice and quiet neighbourhood, and those young families are entitled to that just as I am. Sixty years ago, we also came to live here with five children." That continuity, from generation to generation, is perhaps the most characteristic feature of Rauwbraken.

In terms of amenities, Rauwbraken is not a neighbourhood with its own shopping street or supermarket around the corner. For daily groceries, you drive or cycle to the centre of Berkel-Enschot, just a few minutes away, where you will find a supermarket, pharmacy and small shops. Primary schools in the immediate vicinity serve the younger families who are gradually rejuvenating the neighbourhood. Sports facilities are available in the nearby district, with football and tennis clubs in Berkel-Enschot.

In terms of accessibility, Rauwbraken scores reasonably well. By car, via the N65 you are quickly on the A65 towards Tilburg city centre or Den Bosch. Tilburg city centre is about ten to fifteen minutes' drive away. By bike, the centre of Berkel-Enschot can be reached in a few minutes. Bus connections are available but limited, which means that a car is not an unnecessary luxury for most residents. The neighbourhood is therefore less suitable for people who are entirely dependent on public transport.

When it comes to green space, Rauwbraken clearly stands out: residents give a perfect score of 10 out of 10 for green space. And for good reason. The neighbourhood borders the countryside, with walking and cycling routes directly accessible from the district. The beauty of the neighbourhood is also highly rated (9 out of 10).
