Living in Velletri, Halderberge
Velletri is a quiet, predominantly green residential neighbourhood on the edge of Oudenbosch, named after the Italian twin town of Halderberge. The neighbourhood has a distinct residential character: wide streets, spacious plots and little commercial activity. The housing stock consists mainly of ground-floor family homes, partly from the 1980s and 1990s, with a mix of terraced houses and detached and semi-detached homes. There are hardly any apartments, which explains why the average rented surface area in the free sector is so high. Renting an apartment in Velletri is therefore not straightforward; the supply consists almost exclusively of larger family homes.
