Oudenbosch: complete village with village charm and a few caveats
Residents give Oudenbosch a 7.7 out of 10 on Buurtje.nl, based on 7 reviews. Education scores notably high (8.6) and amenities (8.1). That is no coincidence: for a village of nearly 14,000 inhabitants, Oudenbosch has a surprisingly complete level of amenities. Resident Abuubakar sums it up aptly: "Small village but has everything from secondary school to shops." Ravi, who has lived here his whole life, confirms that: "Everything you could possibly need is nearby." If you want to read more experiences, you can find all reviews on the neighbourhood page of Oudenbosch.
The atmosphere varies by neighbourhood. In the Centre, you live close to shops, hospitality venues and the striking Basilica of Saints Agatha and Barbara. It is lively but compact. Neighbourhoods like Pagnevaart and Velletri are quieter and greener. Resident Riekje describes her street as "quiet, completely green, with friendly neighbours" and gives it an 8.2. Safety scores an 8.0, which is an important factor for many families.
Yet not everyone is equally satisfied. Resident Pluer (6.4/10) points to nuisance from construction traffic and new-build projects: "Only the new-build homes are taken into account. We have been in the noise and excessive traffic for a year and a half." That new construction is visible on the edges of the village, and if you rent near construction sites, you must allow for temporary disruption. Melanie (7.7) misses a nice piece of nature for walking, which is striking for a village that scores 7.6 on green space. The rural area towards the south of Oudenbosch does offer space, but a proper walking park is lacking. Accessibility (7.9) is fine: Oudenbosch station lies on the Roosendaal-Breda line, and via the A17 you are quickly in both cities.
Does a rental home in Oudenbosch suit you?
Oudenbosch mainly attracts families and those aged 45 and over. The largest age group is 45 to 65 years, and there are relatively many over-65s (3,475). For families with children, the high score on education (8.6) is a plus, with several primary schools and a secondary school in the village itself. Starters and young people have a harder time: the private sector supply is limited and the average rent of €1,778 is above what a modal income can comfortably bear. Social housing via the association has waiting lists. If you prefer to buy, you can view homes for sale in Oudenbosch, because with a WOZ value of €300,000, buying here is relatively affordable compared to the rest of the municipality. For those consciously considering renting an apartment in Oudenbosch: the supply is scarce and mainly aimed at the upper end of the market.

Quiet, nice street, completely green, friendly neighbours

Auto-translated to English by AIOnly the new-build homes and the homes that are coming are taken into account. Meanwhile, we've been putting up with noise and excessive traffic for 1.5 years, and it's only getting busier because more homes are being built that access the dyke only via us, instead of 300 metres further where they keep their own road for 4 homes, and I get the whole neighbourhood and now also cemetery visitors passing by. The remaining patch of green is used by a quarter of the neighbourhood as a dog toilet without being cleaned up (I regularly clean it up because it's just lying there next to the driveway).

Auto-translated to English by AIBad neighbourhood with a lot of nuisance from drugs and antisocial loitering youth on the sports park car park. There is Lob A, which is really an old part of the neighbourhood, then Lob B where we live, which is also old and for low and middle incomes. Then Lob C, which is the nicest part of the neighbourhood and consists mostly of detached houses and semi-detached houses. Both Lob A and B suffer from a lot of nuisance and drug problems.
