Heerma van Vossstraat-Molenbeek, Roosendaal
NeighbourhoodThis apartment on Pastoor van Akenstraat sits in a lively part of Roosendaal. This listing does not state an energy label. As a result, the rest of this page is mainly about the street and the neighbourhood, not the home itself. At €250,000, the asking price is 39% below the neighbourhood average of €409,727, which is keen given the smaller floor area. For context, the supply of apartments in Roosendaal varies widely in size and price.
The Heerma van Vossstraat-Molenbeek neighbourhood is a densely built area with a mix of pre-war and post-war homes. Around 44% are single-family houses, and just over half are owner-occupied. The population is diverse: a third are 65 or older, while a quarter are between 25 and 45. Based on two reviews, residents appreciate the cosy atmosphere and nearby school, but one long-term resident notes growing decay, litter, and poor maintenance, with the municipality slow to act. Another says: "Never had any problems, school is nearby and they drive calmly."
Daily shopping is easy: Jumbo is just around the corner, and Dirk, Aldi and Albert Heijn are within a ten-minute walk. For families, KPO Basisschool De Blokwei is a couple of streets away, and several other primary schools are close by. Secondary school Gertrudis is also within walking distance. A park or public garden is on your doorstep, and the train station is about a ten-minute walk. The municipality of Roosendaal manages the wider area, including green spaces and street maintenance.

How residents experience their neighbourhood
Never had any problems, school is nearby and they drive calmly
Auto-translated to English by AIOur neighbourhood has been a bit abandoned by the municipality. Together with the neighbourhood, we often send messages to the municipality (via the BuitenBeter app) about decay, litter, illegal dumping, poor maintenance of the neighbourhood/living environment, poor maintenance of green spaces, and unsafe conditions around the playground. Illegal parking during busy times at the playground, blocking emergency services. Next to the playground is a street where cars coming to the playground can easily park. Heavy traffic (supply trucks) through our narrow street. We sometimes hold our breath here with all those happy running children heading to the playground. Behind our street is a dead-end street where we (residents) come out. This 'back street' is often 'forgotten' when it comes to sweeping, weeding, and pruning. We always have to complain to the municipality about this. It would be nice if this were just included in green/street maintenance. Rats run through people's gardens here. In our little stretch of street with 4 houses, it's really deteriorating. On one corner live labour migrants (every 3 months new people move in). The garden is overgrown, a dirty awning always hangs down, pieces of plastic in front of the windows. The owner of the house doesn't care about anything. For years, every 3 months, I've put energy into the occupants of that property. It makes me despondent. The municipality only enforces on the number of occupants and fire safety. On the other side, a private individual had the garages demolished. Now there's a fence in front, but it's easy to climb over. Rubbish bags are emptied and the area is overgrown. Adjacent buildings are constantly being partially demolished and then left like that. No one knows what will happen to this piece. The municipality doesn't respond. We've lived here for 42 years. Lived very nicely. Our children went to school here, to the playground, played outside in the 'back alley'. But it's increasingly decaying and deteriorating. Unfortunately. We like living in this part of Roosendaal. The municipality promises that the street will be renewed (sewers, road surface, etc.) but we see little of it. St. Elizabeth has been greatly expanded with maybe 100 residents. Construction traffic destroyed everything. The sewer system wasn't adapted, and residents have to use the road with their walkers and wheelchairs. Pavements are broken, too narrow, or full of cars. For example, during playground season or residents from other streets who don't want to park their cars in front of their own doors due to parking costs. We have a cosy neighbourhood. We look out for each other, help each other, have a good time together.

How residents experience their district
Ettingen is a pleasant and quiet residential area where you quickly feel at home. The neighbourhood is green, with plenty of parks and playgrounds for children. It feels safe, with an involved community. Accessibility is good: you can reach the centre of Roosendaal quickly by bike or car, and public transport is also well organised. There are enough schools and amenities in the area, making it attractive for families. The houses are spacious and well-maintained, and there is a nice mix of young and old in the neighbourhood. In short: a nice place to live.

Auto-translated to English by AIThere aren't many good points as I see it. Many bad points though; It's not safe here for people like me (young girls) and I'm regularly harassed by creepy men. I get called all sorts of names without doing anything at all. Besides that, it's really disgustingly dirty here. You can't even look 2 metres ahead without being able to fill a bag full of rubbish.

How residents experience their municipality
Lidl en winkelgalerij Kennedylaan is 5 minuten fietsen, de kinderboerderij op loopafstand. Veel wandelpaden die langs het Molenbeekpad lopen. Er gaat een fietspad richting Nispen wat zich ook goed leent om op hard te lopen.

Auto-translated to English by AIBecause there is no place for children to play with friends outside and you have to travel far to the city
Auto-translated to English by AIAlthough there is more and more litter, the fellow humans here are quite active in cleaning it up, so it's usually gone quickly again. And despite the me-me-me culture that is spreading like an oil slick across the whole world, I still notice that there are enough people here who have an eye and a helping hand for their (elderly) neighbours. That makes this, despite minor annoyances, a nice neighbourhood to live in.
