Living in Centrum-Nieuw, Roosendaal

Centrum-Nieuw lies directly south of the old city centre of Roosendaal and has a very different character from the historic core. The neighbourhood was largely built in the 1960s and 1970s, with a mix of porch flats, gallery flats and terraced houses. In recent years, new-build apartments have been added in various places, making the streetscape more varied. It is a compact, urban neighbourhood with short walking distances to almost everything you need.

The largest age group is 65-plus (440 residents out of a total of 1,380), and you notice that: it is predominantly quiet, especially in the evenings. At the same time, many single people and younger starters live here, creating a mixed population. Only 32% of households are married.

What residents appreciate and what they look out for

Residents often mention the convenience of the central location: "Everything is close by, from shops to the station. That makes daily life a lot easier." At the same time, there are caveats. The older porch flats are not always well insulated, and some residents complain about noise from neighbours or traffic. Energy consumption is relatively low at an average of 830 m³ of gas, which suggests that some of the homes have been insulated or that residents are economical with heating.
