Centrum, Oosterhout
NeighbourhoodThis two-bedroom apartment on De Braak sits right in the middle of Oosterhout's lively centre. With 82 m² of living space, it is 67% larger than the average rental in the neighbourhood, which tends to be around 49 m². The energy label A means it is efficient to heat, and the rent of €1,248 a month is in line with what you would expect for a home of this size in this part of town. For context, the average rental price per m² in the area is €26.47, so this home is priced keenly. If you are looking for apartments in Oosterhout, this one stands out for its generous floor plan.
The Centrum neighbourhood is the bustling core of Oosterhout, with a high address density of 2,571 addresses per km², typical for a very strong urban centre. The population is diverse: a large share of residents are 65 or older (2,190 out of 5,625), and many live alone (1,710 single-person households). One resident, who gave the area a 6.3 out of 10, simply says: "No idea", so reviews are limited. The neighbourhood has a mix of housing: 39% single-family homes and 51% owner-occupied, but rentals are also common. With 352 reported crimes, it is an area to be aware of, though the central location offers plenty of convenience.
Your daily shopping is easy: Albert Heijn is just around the corner, and Jumbo is a five-minute walk away. For fresh bread or a quick bite, the many restaurants in the centre are on your doorstep. Families with children have a few primary schools within walking distance, such as Basisschool St. Jan and Kindcentrum de Achthoek. The nearest park is a couple of streets away, perfect for a stroll. The municipality of Oosterhout offers a range of amenities, and you can read more about the municipality of Oosterhout for a broader view.

Details of this home
Insure your home and belongingsGet insuredAbout De Braak 98, Oosterhout (Nb)
Yes, the price is in line with the market. The average rent in the Centrum neighbourhood is €1,024, but that is for smaller homes (average 49 m²). This apartment is 82 m², so the price per m² works out to about €15.22, which is below the neighbourhood average of €26.47 per m². Given the larger floor area and energy label A, the rent is competitive.
The energy label is A, which is very efficient. This means the home has good insulation and low expected energy costs compared to older properties. You can expect a warm home without high heating bills.
The nearest train station is 9.7 km away, so it is not within walking distance. You would need a bus, bike or car to reach it. The area is better suited for those who rely on local amenities rather than daily train travel.
Albert Heijn is just 124 m away, perfect for daily groceries. Jumbo is 417 m, and Aldi is 803 m. You have several options within a short walk, making it easy to shop without a car.
The Centrum neighbourhood recorded 352 crimes in the latest data, which is relatively high for a town centre. However, it is a busy urban area with many people around.
The listing does not specify the number of bedrooms, but with 82 m² of living space, it is likely a two-bedroom apartment. You would need to confirm the exact layout with the agent.
There are several primary schools within a few kilometres: Basisschool St. Jan (about 3 km), Kindcentrum de Achthoek (3.6 km), and Kbs Helder Camara (4.3 km). For secondary education, the nearest school is 1.2 km away.
The listing does not mention a garden, balcony or terrace. Given that it is an apartment in a central location, it is unlikely to have a private garden.

How residents experience their municipality
Cosy neighbourhood, almost everyone knows each other, fairly quiet.
Auto-translated to English by AIGood accessibility, quite a lot in the neighbourhood, but more control would be welcome
Auto-translated to English by AIGood
Auto-translated to English by AINice neighbours. Cosy atmosphere of the area
Auto-translated to English by AIMy experience with the neighbourhood is good, but I miss a water supply such as a public tap and the schools in this neighbourhood are not so good; those just outside the neighbourhood are better. What is good is the wooded surroundings.
Auto-translated to English by AIThe neighbourhood is very nice, not many strange things happen. Very accessible and connection to public transport around the corner. Primary school is in the area and there are secondary schools within cycling distance. There is a shopping centre within cycling/walking distance. Many sports facilities and restaurants.
Auto-translated to English by AIGood neighbourhood, with many amenities. Good schools and a nice shopping centre nearby.
Auto-translated to English by AIThe neighbourhood is deteriorating significantly in terms of crime and safety. They are now renovating the neighbourhood, which may take a while, but where they are working there is of course some nuisance, but afterwards it can only become more beautiful and pleasant. Bos Landgoed Oosterheide and Floraliapark are nearby, where you can enjoy walking and many activities are organised for young and old! "De Bunthoef" now on the Beneluxweg, a centre where a lot is organised, but where you can also go for serious matters, which I find very pleasant in this area. The hygiene in and around the houses could be better. Which is also partly due to the residents themselves. Better control. Perhaps more frequent rubbish collection instead of once a month, twice... Bulky waste collection again at fixed times, so that people without transport or much money can still dispose of their waste. So that it doesn't remain everywhere in the neighbourhood, where rats and other vermin take over. Currently, people have been on a waiting list for a house for years but get nothing, while those houses are rented out to "refugees"; that should be looked into more carefully. I am not against genuine refugees who are not safe in their own country, but many are men and leave their families behind in that "unsafe" country. Perhaps it's time to sort out what and who really have a right to a house. Better flow-through... e.g. people in a large house where only one person lives should move to a smaller house.
