Centrum-Oud is the historic core of Roosendaal, a dense urban area with a mix of shops, cafés and residential streets. It's a neighbourhood of contrasts: many homes date from before 1945 (63%), and the energy labels vary widely, over a third are D or lower, while about 35% are A or better. The area is popular with singles and couples; nearly two-thirds of households are one-person, and the average household size is just 1.6. There are no resident reviews available for this neighbourhood, so the picture comes from the statistics: a lively, central district with a high turnover of homes.
