Renting in Industriegebieden: a small private sector with generous square metres
Industriegebieden is not a typical residential area, and that is reflected in the figures. Of the 238 homes, only 17% are in the rental sector, all owned by private landlords. There are no social housing units via a housing association. Anyone looking for a rental home here will therefore only end up in the private sector. Over the past year, 12 private-sector homes were rented out, with an average rent of €1,615 per month and a range of €600 to €7,000 per month. The average living area was 222 m², indicating that these are often larger properties such as company homes or live-work units. The WOZ value of €434,000 is well above the municipal average of €292,000 in Roosendaal, which partly explains the higher rents.

Living among businesses: what is life really like in Industriegebieden?
Industriegebieden in Roosendaal consists of several sub-areas, each with its own character. Think of Borchwerf-Noord and Borchwerf-Zuid, but also Majoppeveld-Noord and the adjacent Vijfhuizenberg. What these areas have in common: they are primarily designed for business activity, and the residential function is more of an afterthought than a primary goal. This makes living here a conscious choice, not an obvious one.
The population is relatively small, with 550 residents, and the largest group is between 45 and 65 years old. It is mainly households without children who live here, and the labour participation rate of 72% is clearly above average. This fits the profile of people who live and work here, or who consciously choose peace and space at some distance from the hustle and bustle of neighbourhoods like the Centre or Oost. On the neighbourhood page of Industriegebieden you will find resident reviews and extensive neighbourhood data. Residents mention the space and relative quiet as advantages, but also point out the lack of daily amenities within walking distance. Shops, schools and catering facilities must be sought elsewhere, for example in the centre of Roosendaal. For people who value street-level vibrancy, this is not a suitable place.
The energy bill also deserves attention: the average electricity consumption of 4,600 kWh and gas consumption of 1,780 m³ per year is on the high side, which is related to the larger living areas in this area. Renting an apartment in Industriegebieden is hardly an option; it almost always concerns larger ground-level properties. More information about the municipality can be found on the website of the municipality of Roosendaal.
Renting in Industriegebieden: who does it work for, and who not?
Renting in Industriegebieden is most suitable for self-employed entrepreneurs or dual-income earners who want to combine living and working, and who consciously choose space over urban amenities. The high income level (average €38,300, higher than the municipal average of €35,100) and the low social housing component make it clear that this is not a neighbourhood for people with a limited budget or a social housing allocation. Those looking for a family home with schools and playgrounds nearby would be better off looking at Groot Kroeven or Noord.

How accessible is Industriegebieden for commuting?
Industriegebieden is conveniently located for those who commute by car, with direct access via the business parks around Roosendaal. Public transport is more limited than in residential areas closer to the centre. If you travel by public transport daily, it is advisable to check the public transport connections in advance, as the walking distance to bus stops may be greater than in other neighbourhoods.
Are there schools and shops near Industriegebieden?
Daily amenities such as supermarkets, schools, and restaurants are hardly present in Industriegebieden itself. This is a business park with a limited residential function. For groceries and education, you will need to rely on nearby residential areas or the centre of Roosendaal. Families with young children should take this into account when making their choice.
What is the difference between renting a home in Industriegebieden and in other neighbourhoods of Roosendaal?
Renting a home in Industriegebieden differs greatly from renting in residential areas such as Groot Kroeven or Centrum. The supply is small (17% of the housing stock is rental), homes are generally larger and more expensive, and there is no social housing. The atmosphere is more businesslike and quieter, with less social dynamics on the street. For people seeking space and privacy who can manage without amenities within walking distance, this can actually be an advantage.
