Living in Hertogenbuurt, Oss
Hertogenbuurt is located in the Krinkelhoek district, in the northwestern part of Oss. The neighbourhood consists largely of post-war porch flats and gallery flats, supplemented by terraced houses from the 1960s and 1970s. The streets are compact with a distinctly urban character, without the space and green structure found in new-build neighbourhoods. Yet residents rate the greenery remarkably high: 8.3 out of 10, indicating the presence of parks and green strips that give the neighbourhood some breathing room.
The atmosphere is mixed. Residents describe the mutual involvement in apartment buildings as a plus: people know each other, help each other, and there is a certain sense of community. At the same time, some residents report nuisance in public spaces. One resident aptly described it as: "Cosy flat, uncosy surroundings" and pointed to drug-related nuisance and youths on fatbikes in the streets. That is honest information you should weigh up when looking for a rental home in Hertogenbuurt. The safety score of 7.0 out of 10 fits that picture: not unsafe, but not problem-free either.

The togetherness in the apartment is great and I get along with most neighbours, except for a few whiners... But the surroundings, the neighbourhood, are less pleasant: drug dealers and users, youths on fatbikes, cyclists riding on the pavement where you walk your dog, and a lot of rubbish and junk at the underground bins are the order of the day. But if you walk a little further, there is a beautiful green area with a survival trail for children, although I've never seen a child do it, it is there, but certainly nice for walking too and a nice off-leash area for dogs, nothing to complain about on that point. But on the street itself, it's a filthy mess, with all that rubbish at the underground bins, including household waste (plastic waste from people who were too late putting it out and then left it standing) but also furniture because the thrift shop no longer collects everything or does so but for a fee that people don't want or can't pay (previously it was free here). That means the underground bins usually become a large dumping ground: if one thing is there, the next person just adds to it, and so the pile grows bigger and bigger...
