Living on a former factory site: what makes the KVL terrein different?
The KVL terrein is not an ordinary residential area. It is a redeveloped industrial heritage site, the former premises of the Koninklijke Verbandstoffenfabriek Lyempf, converted into a residential area with character. This attracts a specific audience: the largest age group consists of 25 to 45-year-olds (285 of the 780 residents), with relatively many families with children (145 households). The education level is high, 59% are highly educated, and the labour participation rate is 78%. The average income of €47,100 is clearly above the municipal average of €40,600. In short: this is a neighbourhood with a deliberately composed population that consciously chose this site.
On the neighbourhood page of KVL terrein you will find resident experiences and scores per category. Residents appreciate the unique architecture and the green layout of the site, but also point out the limited walking distance to daily amenities. A frequently heard comment is that the atmosphere within the site feels pleasant and quiet, but that for groceries, dining out and public transport, you quickly take the car. Oisterwijk does not have a large city centre, but the village centre with its small shops and terraces is within cycling distance. The immediate surroundings, including the Omgeving KVL, are green and offer walking and cycling opportunities towards the Oisterwijkse vennen and forests, which is experienced as a major plus by families with children.
