De BlaakRent Prices 2026
Our Verdict
"Bougie"
At €15.8/m², you are paying a premium for the BOUGIE status and the sheer amount of square footage these properties offer. It isn't a trendy area seeing rapid turnover; it's a stable, high-income zone where supply is tight and prices are resilient. You aren't just renting a roof; you're paying for the security and the silence that comes with being on the edge of the city. If you find a spot near the €13.5 floor, it is likely an unrenovated 80s relic, as the €18.5 ceiling is reserved for the fully modernized detached homes.
The Vibe:De Blaak is dominated by late 70s and 80s brick architecture woven around an extensive network of ponds and greenery. It is physically isolated by the A58 and the Stadsbos 013 forest, which keeps the neighborhood quiet and free of random cut-through traffic. The crowd is almost exclusively established professionals and people who value a private driveway over proximity to a dive bar.

Locals Ask
Is there any nightlife in De Blaak?
None whatsoever; you will be cycling 15 minutes to the Korte Heuvel in the city center for a drink.
How is the parking situation?
It is one of the few places in Tilburg where you actually get a private driveway or plenty of free street space for guests.
Is it mostly apartments or houses?
It is heavily skewed towards houses; finding a small rental apartment here is nearly impossible.
What is the commute to Tilburg University?
It is a straight 10-minute bike ride north, though the rental prices usually price out most students.
Are the ponds actually nice?
The 'slingervijvers' define the neighborhood and provide great running loops, though they attract quite a few mosquitoes in the summer.
