Rental prices and market figures for Kroeven-Zuidoost, Roosendaal
Kroeven-Zuidoost is a predominantly rental neighbourhood: 61% of the approximately 1,100 homes are rented, compared to 39% owner-occupied. The vast majority of these rental homes, around 59% of all homes in the neighbourhood, are owned by a housing association. Private sector rentals are therefore limited here: only 2% of homes fall under other landlords. This means the market for private sector rental homes in Kroeven-Zuidoost is small.

Living in Kroeven-Zuidoost, Roosendaal
Kroeven-Zuidoost is a quiet, predominantly post-war residential neighbourhood on the southeast side of the district Groot Kroeven. The housing stock mainly consists of porch flats and terraced houses from the 1960s and 1970s, supplemented by some later additions. It is not a neighbourhood that stands out for architectural features, but rather for a certain calm and clarity. The streets are green, there is relatively little through traffic, and the atmosphere is down-to-earth and resident-driven. The population is noticeably ageing: the largest age group is 65-plus, with nearly 800 residents out of a total of approximately 2,200 inhabitants. Single-person households are the most common household type. This colours the neighbourhood: it is quiet, social cohesion is present, but it is not a neighbourhood with many young families or students.
