Living in Vijfhuizenberg, Roosendaal
Vijfhuizenberg is a small, quiet neighbourhood on the edge of Roosendaal with only 215 residents and 83 homes. The name refers to the historic polder, and the rural character is still palpable: the building density is low, there are mainly detached and semi-detached houses, and the surroundings have a green, open feel that contrasts sharply with the busy districts directly around it. Administratively, the neighbourhood falls under the Industriegebieden district, but the atmosphere feels very different from what that name suggests. The buildings largely date from the 1980s and 1990s, with solid family homes on spacious plots. The average WOZ value of nearly half a million euros says enough about the segment.
The largest age group in the neighbourhood is 45 to 65 years (85 out of 215 residents), followed by those aged 65 and over and families with children. This makes it a neighbourhood of established residents: quiet, little turnover, and few student houses or temporary tenants. More than half of the households are married. This gives Vijfhuizenberg a stable, residential character.

One resident describes it as follows: "You live here wonderfully quietly, but within a quarter of an hour you have everything you need. Ideal if you don't need the busy city centre every day."

Does renting in Vijfhuizenberg suit you?
Vijfhuizenberg is most suitable for tenants who value peace, space and a green environment and are willing to pay for it. Families and dual-income couples who are not dependent on public transport and have a car available fit this profile well. First-time buyers with a limited budget or people without a car will find that the free sector rental prices (average €921 per month) and limited accessibility pose challenges. Social rental homes are not available in Vijfhuizenberg; those looking for social housing can register with Woonkwartier, the active housing association in Roosendaal. The free sector offering is small: on average, only a few homes are rented out per year, so responding quickly to an available rental home in Vijfhuizenberg is essential. Prepare your documents (payslips, employer's statement) in advance. If renting is outside your budget, also consider the homes for sale in Vijfhuizenberg as an alternative.
