Rental homes in Groot Kroeven, Roosendaal

What does a rental home cost in Groot Kroeven?

Groot Kroeven is a neighbourhood where renting is the norm: 51% of the more than 5,450 homes are rental properties, and as much as 40% of the total housing stock is owned by housing associations. This means the private sector is relatively small here. In the past twelve months, only 19 rental homes in the private sector changed tenants, at an average rent of €1,221 per month. The range varied from €410 to €1,975, with an average floor area of 104 m². This is striking, because the WOZ value in Groot Kroeven, at €264,000, is well below the municipal average of €292,000 in Roosendaal. The lower property value does not automatically translate into lower private-sector rents: the limited supply keeps prices firm. Would you like to see the current daily price and available supply?

Groot Kroeven: green, helpful and with a touch of ageing

Residents of Groot Kroeven give their neighbourhood an 8.4 out of 10 on Buurtje.nl. That is a score you do not see everywhere in Roosendaal, and when you look at the sub-scores, you understand why. Green space scores a perfect 10. That is no coincidence: the neighbourhood was laid out with wide green strips, playgrounds and walking paths along the edges of the districts. If you walk from Minnebeek-Watermolen towards the northwestern part, you pass through a succession of parks and lawns. Education scores a 9.5, which matches the range of primary schools spread across the neighbourhood.

Resident Maaike (9.0/10) sums up the atmosphere well: although "more and more litter" is appearing, the neighbours are "quite active" and it is usually cleaned up quickly. She notes that despite the "me-me-me culture" that is taking hold everywhere, in Groot Kroeven there are still enough people who have "an eye and a helping hand" for others. Another resident describes it succinctly: "Where I live it is quiet, people are friendly, always helpful. Quite nice to live here." You can read more experiences on the neighbourhood page with all resident reviews.

What you should know: Groot Kroeven is ageing. The largest age group is 65-plus (3,120 of the 10,840 residents), and almost half of the households are single-person. This gives the neighbourhood a quiet, sometimes almost silent character, especially in districts such as Kroeven-Zuidoost and Borteldonk. Accessibility scores a 9.0: Roosendaal station is within cycling distance, and via the A58 and A17 you are quickly in Breda or Bergen op Zoom. Amenities score an 8.5, partly thanks to the Kroeven shopping centre on Gastelseweg, where you can do your daily shopping. The municipality of Roosendaal has been investing in the renewal of parts of the neighbourhood in recent years, although it is a slow process.

Renting in Groot Kroeven: for whom and for whom not?

With an average income of €31,300 and a labour participation rate of 59%, Groot Kroeven mainly attracts tenants with a modal or lower income. If you are looking for an affordable rental home through a housing association, the neighbourhood is interesting because of the large share of social housing, but expect waiting times. If you want to rent an apartment in the private sector, supply is limited and competition is fierce. For young professionals who value nightlife and dining out, the Centre is a better choice. Families with children will find excellent schools and plenty of green space here, but few opportunities to move up. Considering buying?
