The average WOZ value is €408,000, which is well above the municipal average of Oss (€346,000). That difference is no coincidence.

Living in Berghem: village character with urban convenience around the corner
Berghem is not a dormitory suburb of Oss, though some outsiders think so. It is an independent village with its own identity, an active club life and enough amenities not to need the car for every errand. Residents on the Berghem neighbourhood page give the village a 7.5 out of 10. Notably high scores are for housing (8.0), beauty (8.0) and education (8.0). Resident Meike describes her neighbourhood as "a beautiful place close to the forest" and specifically mentions that there are three supermarkets within a five-minute bike ride, plus a chemist. Those supermarkets are around the shopping centre on Molenstraat and Kerkstraat, where you also find a baker, hairdresser and pharmacy.
In terms of education, Berghem has primary schools such as De Fonkel and De Wissel, and for secondary school children cycle to Oss. Sports facilities are solid: football club BSVV, tennis club and the De Meerval swimming pool are all in the village. There is no shortage of green space. Towards Voorste en Achterste Heide you walk straight into the forests of the Maashorst, one of the largest contiguous nature reserves in North Brabant. That is exactly what Meike means by "10 minutes from the forest". In Berghem-Noord you find many new-build homes, while the southern part has a slightly older and more village-like character.
Accessibility scores a 7.2 from residents. Berghem does not have its own train station, but bus lines towards Oss station and Uden run regularly. By car, via the N329 you quickly reach the A59 towards Den Bosch or Nijmegen. Travel time to Oss city centre is five minutes by car, a quarter of an hour by bike. To be fair, traffic is a point of attention. Resident Burgt Ans Van Der gives the village an 8.0 but notes that there is "heavy traffic" and that enforcement of illegal parking, especially on pavements, could be better. Amenities score the lowest at 6.8, which makes sense: for extensive shopping or going out you need to go to Oss. Also check the supply elsewhere in the municipality of Oss if you want to broaden your search, for example in Oss-Zuid or Oss city centre. On the Oss municipality website you can find information about zoning plans and new-build projects.
Is Berghem right for you as a buyer?
With an average purchase price of nearly €719,000, buying a home in Berghem is not a starter affair. The village mainly attracts movers and dual-income families who value space and greenery. The 1,940 households with children form the largest group, and you notice that in the atmosphere. Seniors looking to downsize have less choice, as the supply mainly consists of larger homes. Buying an apartment in Berghem is difficult due to the limited supply in that segment. When budgeting, take into account transfer tax (2%) and notary costs. Do you need to overbid? That depends on the type of home, but popular terraced houses often sell above the asking price. If you find the purchase prices too high, you can also look at rental homes in Berghem as an alternative.

It's good to live here but enforcement regarding parking would be nice, especially parking on the pavements. As for safety, people are themselves responsible for a child on a fat bike??? Parents!!! Also walking dogs, the owners should clean up the dog poop. (Also stricter enforcement here.

Auto-translated to English by AIWe live in a quiet but cosy neighbourhood. The school is within walking distance and shops are nearby. The forest is also close and the area is well maintained despite the insect policy. It is less accessible for larger traffic.
