Quirijnstok West, Tilburg

Living in Quirijnstok West

Quirijnstok West is urban but not overwhelming, and most of its 646 homes are houses rather than apartments — front doors, gardens, street parking.

At 6,638 residents per km² the buurt is busy without being packed.

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 Quirijnstok West

At €318,000 average WOZ value, Quirijnstok West ranks 102 out of 202 Tilburg neighborhoods on price, almost exactly the city's midpoint. For scale: Tilburg's cheapest buurt averages €136,000 and its priciest €1,053,000, so Quirijnstok West sits in the middle of the pack.

The direction of the market: between 2017 and 2025 the average WOZ value here rose from €176,000 to €318,000, up 81% — slower than the city as a whole (+93%). WOZ values lag the market by about a year, but the trend itself is reliable.

With 77% 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, Quirijnstok West is a young-adult neighborhood — the 25-to-45 group outnumbers everyone else (26% of its 1,390 residents), followed by 45-to-65 year olds at 26%. Households split into 39% singles and 29% families with children — a real mix rather than one lifestyle. The average household counts 2.0 people.

As for who your neighbors would be: incomes lean modest — 33% of households are among the country's lower earners.

Daily errands, coffee and dinner

Day to day: the nearest large supermarket is about 6 minutes' walk; this is not a going-out neighborhood — the cafés are elsewhere.

The practical checklist most buyers forget to make: pharmacy 18 min walk · GP 16 min · hospital 3.6 km · library 1.6 km · 2 cinemas within 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 4 minutes on foot; daycare is well covered (3 locations nearby) — though Dutch waiting lists mean you register the week you know you're expecting, not the week you need it; secondary school is a 4-minute bike ride, which Dutch teenagers do in all weather.

Getting around

Getting around: the nearest train station is 4.4 km out, so day-to-day life here leans on the car or bus; the nearest highway on-ramp is 4.0 km away; car ownership is moderate (1.0 per household).

Energy and running costs

Since 89% of the stock predates 2000, always check the energy label of a specific listing — the difference between label C and label F on an average home here is easily a few thousand euros a year in heating, and it changes what you can sensibly bid.

Before you bid in Quirijnstok West

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.
