Buitengebied Udenhout Zuid-West, Tilburg

Living in Buitengebied Udenhout Zuid-West

Buitengebied Udenhout Zuid-West is quiet and low-density, and most of its 81 homes are houses rather than apartments — front doors, gardens, street parking.

With just 207 residents per km², this is space by Dutch standards.

Tilburg offers some of the most affordable urban living in the south of the country, with a growing university presence and former textile-industry areas steadily converting into housing. Your euro buys noticeably more square meters here than in the Randstad.

The housing market in Buitengebied Udenhout Zuid-West

At €774,000 average WOZ value, Buitengebied Udenhout Zuid-West ranks 4 out of 202 Tilburg neighborhoods on price — 142% pricier than most of the city. That premium is the location speaking. For scale: Tilburg's cheapest buurt averages €136,000 and its priciest €1,053,000, so Buitengebied Udenhout Zuid-West sits among the city's pricier neighbourhoods.

The direction of the market: between 2017 and 2025 the average WOZ value here rose from €483,000 to €774,000, up 60% — slower than the city as a whole (+93%). WOZ values lag the market by about a year, but the trend itself is reliable.

With 94% of homes owner-occupied, this is a settled buyers' neighborhood — homes change hands regularly, and you can usually find recent comparable sales on the same street to anchor your bid. Settled also means slower: owners here tend to stay, so the best houses may only list once a decade.

Who lives here

Demographically, Buitengebied Udenhout Zuid-West is dominated by established households in the 45-to-65 bracket (34% of its 235 residents), followed by over-65s at 20%. 47% of households have children at home, so expect school runs, playgrounds in use, and neighbors who stay put. The average household counts 2.7 people.

Daily errands, coffee and dinner

Day to day: plan your groceries: the nearest large supermarket is 1.4 km away; dining out means a short trip: only 2 cafés or restaurants sit within a kilometer.

The practical checklist most buyers forget to make: pharmacy 19 min walk · GP 19 min · hospital 7.2 km · library 1.5 km. None of these will decide a purchase on their own, but a GP taking new patients nearby is the kind of thing you only miss after moving.

Families and schools

For families: the nearest primary school is 16 minutes on foot; daycare is 1.1 km away — check waiting lists early, they are long everywhere in the Netherlands; secondary school is a 14-minute bike ride, which Dutch teenagers do in all weather.

Getting around

Getting around: the nearest train station is 6.7 km out, so day-to-day life here leans on the car or bus; the nearest highway on-ramp is 3.7 km away; households here average 2.0 cars, so assume driveways and parking are part of daily logistics.

Energy and running costs

60% of homes were built before 2000. Two identical-looking houses on the same street can differ by hundreds of euros a month once heating is counted — the energy label tells you which one you're looking at, and lenders increasingly price it into your mortgage too.

Before you bid in Buitengebied Udenhout Zuid-West

Before you bid in Buitengebied Udenhout Zuid-West: in a premium buurt the risk isn't buying a bad home, it's overpaying for a good one — anchor your bid on recent sales of comparable homes, not on the asking price. Also, family neighborhoods like this one turn over slowly; when a good house appears it often goes to the first serious, well-prepared bidder.

None of these averages can tell you whether the specific house you found is fairly priced — that depends on its size, energy label, state of maintenance and the recent sales around it. That is exactly what a free HomeReview report checks, in about 10 seconds, for any Dutch address.
