Living in Moleneind-Groenewoud, Maashorst
Moleneind-Groenewoud is a quiet, green residential neighbourhood on the west side of Uden, part of the municipality of Maashorst. The name already hints at its character: the area combines older residential streets with a more open, green character towards the Groenewoud zone. The housing stock largely consists of ground-level homes, with a mix of terraced houses and detached and semi-detached houses from the 1970s and 1980s. It is not a neighbourhood that stands out for spectacular architecture, but rather for a certain peace and space.
The population composition tells a clear story: the largest group of residents is 65-plus (490 out of 1,445 residents), followed by the 45 to 65 age group (400 people). This is noticeable in the atmosphere of the neighbourhood: it is quiet, the streets are orderly, and social cohesion among long-term residents is high. Young families and starters are less represented, which is also visible in the limited number of households with children.
