Afrikaanderbuurt Midden, Tilburg
NeighbourhoodThis 40 m² studio on Trouwlaan is a compact home in a lively part of Tilburg. Built in 1960, it has an energy label G, so heating costs will be significant.

Auto-translated to English by AIThere are confused people living in the neighbourhood, who no longer make the street pleasant. Why aren't they being helped? We used to have such a nice street. Get support services involved, not the police, and cameras would be desirable against unsafe situations and burglaries.
Auto-translated to English by AIPeople keep to themselves a lot. Shutters closed early, and a hello is barely possible. Cars are sometimes parked antisocially. We do accept parcels for each other. It's a mixed company: Dutch, Polish, Turkish. Owner-occupied and rental properties mixed together, poorly maintained houses, gates have weeds a metre high, bulky household waste is regularly dumped.

The energy label is G, the lowest rating. This means the home is not energy-efficient, so you can expect high heating and electricity costs. The neighbourhood has a mix of labels: 50% are label A and 50% are label D or lower.
