Fatima West, Tilburg
NeighbourhoodThis 1936 terraced house on Hertogstraat sits in a lively part of Tilburg where the streets are lined with pre-war homes.

The asking price of €425,000 is on the high side compared to the local median of €375,000, but that reflects the extra space and the fact that terraced houses in Tilburg in this condition don't come up often.

About Hertogstraat 5, Tilburg
The asking price is above the neighbourhood median of €375,000, but this house is larger than average (133 m² vs 106 m²). The price per square metre works out at about €3,195, which is below the neighbourhood average of €3,659. So while the total price is high, you're getting more space for your money.
The energy label is D. That's typical for a pre-war terraced house, most homes in Fatima West have label C or lower. A D label means heating costs will be noticeable, but it's not the worst. You could improve it with insulation or a new boiler, but that's a future project.
Tilburg's main train station is 2.3 km away, which is about a 25-minute walk or a short bike ride.
There are several primary schools within walking distance. Basisschool Koningshaven is 166 m away, Openbare Basisschool Panta Rhei is 315 m, and Basisschool Pendula is 514 m. For secondary education, De Nieuwste School is 625 m away.
In the most recent data, 47 crimes were recorded in Fatima West. That's a moderate number for a dense urban area. The neighbourhood has a young population and a mix of households, which often means a lively street scene.
The house was built in 1936, so it's a pre-war property. Most homes in the area are from before 1945 (83%). The energy label D suggests the original structure is intact but may need modernisation. The listing doesn't mention any recent renovations, so you'd need to view it to assess the condition.
