Oudheusden, Heusden
NeighbourhoodThis end-of-terrace house on Van Deelenstraat sits in a quiet corner of Oudheusden, a village where life moves at a gentler pace. With 113 m² of living space and a 324 m² plot, there is room for a growing family without feeling on top of each other. The price of €499,000 is in line with the market for end-of-terrace houses in Heusden.
Oudheusden is a small village with a strong sense of community, but not everyone is happy. One resident says: "It's nice to grow up in Oudheusden. There are many playgrounds, several primary schools, and the library is accessible." Another is less positive: "Bad, loitering youths harassing neighbours. I can't really say it's safe, they tear through the streets with cars or fatbikes." A third adds: "The neighbourhood has many children and motorists do not seem to take this into account." Based on three reviews, the neighbourhood scores a 6.4 out of 10. Most homes are owner-occupied and the area is predominantly family-oriented.
For your morning bread, the Coop is just around the corner, and there are several other supermarkets within a short drive. Primary school BS De Dromenvanger is a five-minute walk away, making the school run a breeze. For secondary education, you'll need to travel a bit further, but the village has a library and a park within walking distance. The area is quiet, though some residents note that traffic can be an issue on certain streets.
This home is listed through several channels, including Staete - Vlijmen. At present, the asking price is €499,000.

Bad, loitering youths harassing neighbours. I can't really say it's safe, they tear through the streets with cars or fatbikes. Preferably with phone in hand. Police hardly ever check anything.
Auto-translated to English by AIAs far as the Hamelpark and the adjoining streets are concerned, investment should be made in traffic safety. Although all of Oudheusden is designated as a "woonerf", for some it seems more like a racetrack. How fast can I drive past the speed-reducing measures such as speed bumps and road narrowings? The delivery services are also to blame for this. The neighbourhood has many children and motorists do not seem to take this into account, and it will go wrong one day. For a long time, the neighbourhood had a stable core of residents. Recently, labour migrants and emigrants dominate the housing market, and that is not a good prospect. They have no connection with their neighbours. As a result, the gap between current residents and newcomers will widen until everyone has left the neighbourhood. A missed opportunity for the municipality of Heusden to put a stop to this early on. This battle is lost. Not recommended for anyone looking for peace and cosiness.
Auto-translated to English by AIIt's nice to grow up in Oudheusden. There are many playgrounds, several primary schools, and the library is accessible. The main downside is the accessibility of Oudheusden by public transport. The bus goes to Den Bosch once every 30 minutes, but places like Waalwijk and Drunen are only reachable by the Buurtbus, which doesn't always run on time. If you want to travel outside the immediate area, you quickly become dependent on a car. Additionally, I think there has been a lot of litter on the streets in recent months. That's always a shame.

About Van Deelenstraat 99, Oudheusden
The asking price of €499,000 is in line with the average sale price in Oudheusden, which is around €496,000. However, homes here have sold for between €320,000 and €899,000, so it depends on the specific condition and features of this property. The price per square metre is about €4,416, which is slightly above the neighbourhood average of €3,881 per m².
Residents have mixed feelings about safety. One review mentions loitering youths and reckless driving, while another notes that the area has many children and motorists don't always take this into account. The total number of crimes recorded in the neighbourhood is 83, but without context it's hard to say how that compares. It's a quiet village overall, but some streets may feel less safe at certain times.
The nearest train station is 14.9 km away, so you'll need a car or bus to reach it. The bus to Den Bosch runs every 30 minutes, but other destinations like Waalwijk and Drunen are only served by a Buurtbus that doesn't always run on time. For most trips outside the village, a car is the most practical option.
The closest primary school is BS De Dromenvanger, just 514 metres away, a short walk. There are several other primary schools within a few kilometres, including Rooms Katholieke Basisschool Th J Rijken and OBS De Groene Bogen. For secondary education, d'Oultremont College is about 3.7 km away. The neighbourhood also has a library within walking distance.
The home has an energy label C, which is average for a house built in 1986. It means the property is reasonably efficient but not top-of-the-line. You can expect moderate energy bills, but improvements like better insulation or solar panels could bring the label up. Most homes in the neighbourhood (66.7%) also have label C.
The plot size is 324 m², which is generous for an end-of-terrace house. While the listing doesn't specify how much of that is garden, it's safe to assume there is outdoor space at the front and back. The house was built in 1986, so the garden is likely established and may need some upkeep.
The nearest supermarket is Coop, just 682 metres away, a ten-minute walk. For more choice, there are Aldi and Jumbo within about 3.5 km, and a SPAR at 4 km. For daily shopping, the Coop is very convenient, but for a full weekly shop you might drive to one of the larger supermarkets.
The listing does not state the number of bedrooms. With 113 m² of living space and a typical layout for an end-of-terrace house from 1986, it likely has three or four bedrooms, but you would need to check the floor plan with the agent.
