Living in Kom Volkel, Maashorst

Kom Volkel is the village centre of the eponymous village in the municipality of Maashorst, located in the northeast of North Brabant. It is a quiet, small-scale village with a distinct village character. The housing stock largely consists of post-war terraced houses and semi-detached houses from the 1960s and 1970s, supplemented by some detached houses and a limited number of ground-floor rental properties from the housing association. High-rise buildings or large apartment complexes are almost entirely absent, giving the neighbourhood its quiet, green appearance.

The village is compact but has a clear centre around Kerkstraat and Pastoor van Winkelstraat, where most daily amenities are concentrated.

Amenities in Kom Volkel

For daily groceries, there is a supermarket in the village itself, although the range is limited. For a full grocery shop, most residents drive to Uden, about 10 kilometres away. Primary school De Leilinde provides education for the youngest residents; for secondary education, pupils rely on Uden or Veghel. The village is well equipped for sports: football club SV Volkel and tennis club TV Volkel are active in the village. The proximity of the Maashorst, the extensive nature and recreation area southwest of the village, is one of the most frequently mentioned plus points by residents. Walking, cycling and mountain biking are possible within a short cycling distance. Hospitality options are limited in the centre itself.

Accessibility of Kom Volkel

By car, Kom Volkel is reasonably accessible. Via the N605 you quickly reach the A50 (towards Eindhoven and Nijmegen) and the A59. Eindhoven is about a 35-minute drive away, Den Bosch about 40 minutes. Public transport is limited: there is a bus connection towards Uden, but the frequency is low and there is no train station in the village. Travellers rely on Veghel or Uden-Noord station for train connections. Cycling to the centre of Uden takes about 25 minutes over fairly flat roads. Parking is not a problem in Kom Volkel: in most streets you can park for free on your own driveway or along the road.

Aircraft noise from training flights is experienced differently by residents. If you are looking for peace and quiet, it is wise to take this into account.

Residents particularly appreciate the village for its peace and quiet, the green surroundings and the strong social cohesion. One resident writes: "It is wonderfully quiet here, everyone knows each other and the Maashorst is just around the corner. But you do need a car, because you won't manage here with public transport." That last point is an honest signal for tenants who depend on public transport.
