Living in Scherpdeel, Roosendaal

Scherpdeel is a predominantly green, quiet residential neighbourhood on the western side of Roosendaal. The area largely consists of post-war terraced houses and semi-detached houses from the 1970s and 1980s, supplemented by a number of porch flats and newer apartments. The streets are laid out wide with plenty of greenery in between, and there is notably little through traffic. It is the type of neighbourhood where you see children playing in the street and neighbours greet each other, but the social fabric is not very tight-knit.

Amenities in and around Scherpdeel

For daily groceries, you need to cycle or drive a bit. Scherpdeel itself lacks a full-size supermarket, which residents clearly experience as a shortcoming.

Secondary schools are located more towards the centre of Roosendaal.

Roosendaal train station is about 2.5 kilometres away, roughly a ten-minute cycle. From there, intercity trains run to Breda, Rotterdam and Antwerp. Bus routes stop along Gastelseweg, but the frequency is limited, which explains the low accessibility score from residents. Cycling to the centre of Roosendaal takes five to ten minutes.
