Some residents are more critical about the limited amenities: there is a primary school and a modest shopping street, but for larger groceries or specialist shops you have to rely on surrounding villages such as Oudenbosch or Oud Gastel. Accessibility by car is reasonable via the N640, but public transport is limited, which is a point of criticism among younger residents.
