Tilburg apartments cluster in the newer western districts and around the station; for village calm, compare apartments in Vught, near 's-Hertogenbosch.
Reeshof, Tilburg's large western district of newer homes, is popular with couples and small families because it has its own station, Tilburg Reeshof, two stops from the center. Flats there often come with a balcony, a parking space or a ground-floor garden.
Around Tilburg station and in the Spoorzone, the former railway workshop site just north of it, newer apartment blocks sit a few minutes' walk from the platforms: the shortest start for a daily train to Eindhoven or Rotterdam.
Students rarely rent whole apartments in Tilburg: Tilburg University and Fontys students usually start in rooms in Tilburg or a studio, often after a hospiteeravond, an evening where the housemates choose the new tenant.
