Of those rental properties, the vast majority are owned by a housing association (47%), while only 4% are with other landlords.

The WOZ value in Spui is €271,000, clearly lower than the district average for Oudenbosch (€300,000) and the municipal average for Halderberge (€339,000).

Living in Spui, Halderberge

Spui is a quiet residential neighbourhood on the southern edge of Oudenbosch, part of the municipality of Halderberge. The neighbourhood has a distinct residential character with little business or bustle: wide streets, plenty of greenery between the homes, and a population composition that leans heavily towards older residents. With 610 residents aged 65 or older, Spui is the most greying neighbourhood compared to surrounding areas. This is noticeable in the atmosphere: it is quiet, orderly, and social cohesion is high. There are fewer young families and starters, although there are about 270 households with children.

The housing stock largely consists of post-war and 1970s buildings: ground-level terraced houses and semi-detached houses dominate the streetscape, supplemented by a limited number of apartment blocks. The homes are generally spacious for that period, which also explains the average floor area in the private sector. New-build projects are scarce in Spui; anyone considering renting an apartment in Spui will find that the supply is small.

Accessibility

By car, Spui is easily accessible via the N640 towards Roosendaal and via the A17, which connects Halderberge with Breda and Bergen op Zoom. Roosendaal can be reached in about ten minutes by car; from Roosendaal, intercity trains depart to Rotterdam, Antwerp and Breda. Bus connections from Oudenbosch run towards Roosendaal and Breda, although the frequency is limited outside peak hours. Cycling to the centre of Oudenbosch takes at most five to ten minutes. Parking in Spui is free and usually not a problem due to the wide layout of the streets.

Residents of the Spui neighbourhood page particularly appreciate the peace and safety of the area. One resident writes: "You know your neighbours here, it's a real neighbourhood where people look out for each other. Not much for young people to do, but for us as a retired couple it's perfect." Criticisms more often concern the limited level of facilities within walking distance and the dependence on the car for many daily activities.

For those comparing the neighbourhood with surrounding areas: Oudenbosch-Centrum offers more liveliness and shops within walking distance, but is more compactly built. Pagnevaart has a similar residential character but a slightly younger population structure. For those seeking more urban dynamism, the rental properties in Oudenbosch as a whole district are also worth considering.

Is a rental property in Spui right for you?

Spui is best suited to tenants looking for peace, space and a recognisable neighbourhood structure. Seniors and pensioners generally feel at home here quickly. Families who are not dependent on public transport and appreciate a quiet living environment can also live here well. Starters and young people looking for a rental home in a lively area will find less connection. The private sector supply is limited: only a handful of homes are offered for rent each year, so quick response is essential. Also register with a housing association for social housing, because the association's ownership is significant at 47%. As an alternative, you can explore the supply of owner-occupied homes in Spui, where WOZ values are similarly low compared to the municipality. The municipality of Halderberge provides information about living and registering with housing associations via the municipal website.
