Living in Wildackers: quiet and ageing, but not without charm

Wildackers is a quiet, somewhat older neighbourhood on the edge of Goirle. The largest age group consists of people aged 65 and over, which is also noticeable in the streetscape: it is generally quiet, the gardens are well-maintained and the pace is slow. Single-person households are the most common living situation, although families and couples also live here. On the neighbourhood page of Wildackers you will find all resident reviews and demographic data together. The average resident score on Buurtje.nl is 6.3 out of 10. Residents particularly appreciate the safety (7.3) and the greenery in the neighbourhood (7.3), and accessibility also scores reasonably well at 7.0. One reviewer sums it up succinctly: "I have no trouble with anyone, I get along with everyone." That says something about the social atmosphere: no close-knit neighbourhood community with lots of activities, but also no conflicts. Amenities and beauty score significantly lower, 5.0 and 5.3 respectively, and that is honestly noticeable.

In terms of amenities, Wildackers is not the richest neighbourhood. For daily groceries, you rely on the centre of Goirle, a few minutes' bike ride away, where you will find supermarkets, a pharmacy and some shops. Primary schools are nearby, although education scores a modest 5.7 in resident reviews. For sports, various clubs are active in Goirle, including football and tennis clubs. The greenery in and around the neighbourhood is appreciated, which fits with the location in the Brabant countryside with walking routes nearby. Those looking for more urban offerings are better off in Tilburg, about ten kilometres away. Goirle does not have its own train station; the nearest train stations are Tilburg and Gilze-Rijen. By bus, the centre of Tilburg is accessible, and via the N261, the connection to the motorway is relatively quick. If you have a car, you are well placed here.

If you compare Wildackers with other neighbourhoods in Goirle, for example Goirle-Centrum has more liveliness and amenities within walking distance, while De Groote Akkers offers a similarly quiet living environment. Also Grobbendonck and De Hoge Wal are worth a look if you are looking for owner-occupied homes in Goirle.
