Leijsenakkers: a quiet neighbourhood where everyone knows each other
Leijsenakkers is a neighbourhood you won't quickly forget once you've lived there for a while. It is not a neighbourhood with busy shopping streets or much through traffic, but rather a place where peace and social cohesion stand out. Resident K.O. describes it aptly: "Cosy neighbourhood, almost everyone knows each other, quite quiet." That picture matches the demographic composition of the neighbourhood: the largest age group consists of 45- to 65-year-olds, followed by those aged 65 and over. Nearly half of the residents are married, and a large proportion of households consist of couples without children. Leijsenakkers is therefore more a neighbourhood for established residents than for young starters.

Only for amenities is the score somewhat lower, with a 6. That is honest: Leijsenakkers itself does not have an extensive range of shops. For daily groceries and other amenities, you have to rely on nearby neighbourhoods or the city centre. The nearby Molenbuurt can be a solution for that, or you can drive a bit further to Oosterhout-Centrum for a larger selection of shops and restaurants.
Accessibility scores a 10, which is striking for a quiet residential neighbourhood. Residents experience the location as pleasant, with good connections to the rest of Oosterhout and the region. The greenery in the neighbourhood is another strong point: the neighbourhood has a green appearance that contributes to its quiet character. Beauty scores an 8, which shows that the neighbourhood looks well-maintained without being a showpiece. All in all, Leijsenakkers is a place where people consciously choose when they prioritise peace and a sense of community over urban liveliness.
