About Goirkestraat 173, Tilburg
The asking price is 46% above the neighbourhood average of €496,333, and it's the most expensive of the six homes currently for sale in Kasteel Oost. However, with 188 m² of space and a 565 m² plot, it's significantly larger than the average home in the area (153 m²). Whether it's fair depends on how much you value the extra space and the character of a 1905 semi-detached house.
The home has energy label D. That's typical for a house built in 1905, in this neighbourhood, 60% of homes have label D or lower. Label D means moderate energy efficiency, so heating costs will be higher than in a modern home, but it's not the worst. You can expect to spend more on gas and electricity than with a label A or B property.
Kasteel Oost has a mix of households: about 135 with children and 140 without, plus many singles. There are several primary schools within walking distance, like Basisschool Hasseltse Poorten (304 m) and Basisschool De Vijf Hoeven (632 m). The area is very urban, with a high density of addresses, so it's lively but not particularly quiet. It suits families who like being close to the city centre.
The nearest train station is 1.9 km away, which is about a 20-minute walk or a short cycle. That's a reasonable distance for commuting to Tilburg city centre or further afield.
At €725,000 for 188 m², the price per m² is about €3,856. That's higher than the neighbourhood average of €3,309 per m². But this home is larger and has a bigger plot than most, so the premium reflects the extra space and the semi-detached typology, which is less common in this area.
The plot is 565 m², which is generous for a semi-detached house in this urban neighbourhood. However, the listing does not specify whether there is a garden, terrace, or other outdoor space. You would need to check the property details or visit to see how the plot is laid out.
