Quirijnstok West, Tilburg

Living in Quirijnstok West

Quirijnstok West is urban but not overwhelming, and most of its 644 homes are houses rather than apartments — front doors, gardens, street parking.

At 6,533 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 €289,000 average WOZ value, Quirijnstok West ranks 103 out of 200 Tilburg neighborhoods on price, almost exactly the city's midpoint. For scale: Tilburg's cheapest buurt averages €113,000 and its most expensive €910,000, so Quirijnstok West sits in the middle band of the city.

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 dominated by established households in the 45-to-65 bracket (27% of its 1,370 residents), followed by 25-to-45 year olds at 25%. Households split into 36% singles and 29% families with children — a real mix rather than one lifestyle. The average household counts 2.1 people.

As for who your neighbors would be: incomes skew modest — 33% of households are in the lower national bracket.

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

Before you bid in Quirijnstok West: with many older residents, more homes will come to market here over the coming years than the recent past suggests — patience can pay.

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.
