Nevertheless, sale prices over the past twelve months have been remarkably high. Of the 34 homes sold, the average purchase price was €383,206, with an average living area of 94 m².

The WOZ value stands at €250,000, slightly below the district average of Centrum (€264,000) and clearly below the municipal average of Oss (€346,000). This difference is partly due to the type of housing: the supply consists relatively often of apartments and smaller ground-based homes from the post-war period.

Living in Centrum-Zuid, Oss
Centrum-Zuid lies directly south of Oss city centre and has a distinctly urban character. The neighbourhood is compact, densely built and lively, but not noisy in the way of a nightlife district. It is more the kind of neighbourhood where people live who find the city convenient, not necessarily seeking the city for its nightlife. The buildings largely date from the 1950s to 1970s: terraced houses, porch flats and some newer apartment complexes that have been infilled here and there on vacant plots. Large gardens are more the exception than the rule.
Location is one of its strongest assets. The centre of Oss with its shops, eateries and weekly market at Raadhuisplein is within walking distance. Ravenstraat and Molenstraat, the main shopping streets of Oss, are a few minutes away by bike. For daily groceries, you hardly need to leave the neighbourhood: there are several supermarkets within a short distance, including an Albert Heijn and an Aldi in the immediate vicinity. Primary schools are available in and around the neighbourhood, and for secondary education, schools such as Hooghuis and Maaslandcollege are easily accessible.
In terms of accessibility, Centrum-Zuid scores well. Oss station is about ten minutes away by bike, from where you can travel by train towards Den Bosch (approximately 20 minutes) and Nijmegen. By car, the A59 is quickly reachable, taking you towards Den Bosch or Nijmegen. Bus connections run via the nearby bus station in the centre. Parking can be a point of attention at peak times, especially on streets closer to the centre.
The population composition is striking: the largest group of residents is between 25 and 45 years old, and almost half of all households consist of a single person. This gives the neighbourhood a dynamic but also somewhat transient character. Residents appreciate the central location and liveliness, but reviews also indicate that the neighbourhood is not the greenest or quietest place to raise children. One resident aptly described it: "Everything is close by, but you have to be able to handle the hustle and bustle of the city." For families seeking peace and space, neighbourhoods such as Oss-Zuid or Krinkelhoek might be a better match. For those specifically seeking urban proximity, Centrum-West and Centrum-Noord offer similar neighbourhoods with their own character. More neighbourhood information, resident reviews and scores can be found on the neighbourhood main page of Centrum-Zuid. The municipality of Oss also has general information about living and facilities at oss.nl.
