Living in Raam, Maashorst
Raam is a quiet, predominantly family-oriented neighbourhood on the west side of Uden. The name refers to a historic watercourse in the area, and this rural character is still palpable: the neighbourhood borders open agricultural land and has a green, spacious feel that is less common in the more urban neighbourhoods of Uden. The housing stock mainly consists of detached homes and semi-detached houses from the 1970s and 1980s, supplemented by terraced houses. New-build apartments are scarce, which explains why the rental percentage here is low.
Facilities in Raam
Primary schools are within cycling distance; the nearest primary schools are in the adjacent centre of Uden, about a ten-minute bike ride away. For daily groceries, residents rely on supermarkets on the edge of Uden's centre, such as a Jumbo and an Albert Heijn on Losplaats and in the De Pantharijn shopping centre. There are no large retail chains in Raam itself, which gives the neighbourhood its quiet character but also means you need to take a bike or car for almost everything. For sports activities, you can join football club UDI'19 or the various sports clubs in Uden that are a short distance away. Udens College and Bernhoven Hospital (in Veghel) are easily accessible by car.
