House prices and market figures De Oude Omdraaier, Loon op Zand

Living in De Oude Omdraaier, Loon op Zand
De Oude Omdraaier is located on the eastern side of Kaatsheuvel, bordering the rural area. Driving around here, you see wide avenues, spacious plots and homes that have clearly been built or renovated with care. It is not a neighbourhood you happen to walk through: the streets are quiet, through traffic is minimal and the atmosphere is subdued and green. Many residents describe it as a place where you really unwind, without being far from amenities.
The housing stock consists mainly of detached houses and semi-detached homes, partly built from the 1980s and 1990s, with newer projects on former agricultural plots. The architecture varies: from traditional Brabant building style to more contemporary designs with large windows and modern materials. What stands out is the space: gardens are generous, garages are the norm and parking on private property is standard.
For daily shopping, you rely on Kaatsheuvel centre, about five minutes away by car. There you will find, among others, an Albert Heijn and a Jumbo, along with a modest shopping centre for further needs. Primary schools such as De Klimroos and De Meander in Kaatsheuvel are accessible by bicycle. For secondary education, children travel to Waalwijk, where the Titus Brandsma Lyceum is located, among others. For sports, there is football club RKVV Kaatsheuvel in the immediate vicinity and there are walking and cycling paths towards the Loonse en Drunense Duinen, one of the larger drifting sand areas in the Netherlands, a short distance away.
In terms of accessibility, the neighbourhood is primarily geared towards the car. The A261 towards Waalwijk can be reached within a few minutes, and via the A59 you are quickly in Den Bosch or Tilburg. There is no train station in Kaatsheuvel itself; the nearest station is Waalwijk (bus line) or Tilburg, about twenty minutes away by car. Bus connections via Arriva run through Kaatsheuvel, but for commuters, the car is practically indispensable.
Residents particularly appreciate the peace and space. On the neighbourhood page of De Oude Omdraaier you can read what locals themselves think. One resident writes: "You really live here away from the hustle and bustle, but everything is still close by. The neighbourhood is quiet, the neighbours know each other and the greenery around you is wonderful." Criticism sometimes focuses on the limited walking distance to amenities and the lack of a direct train connection. Compared to neighbouring areas such as Loonse Vaart or Els (west), De Oude Omdraaier clearly has a more rural and exclusive character, with higher prices reflecting that.
Who is a home for sale in De Oude Omdraaier interesting for?
The neighbourhood mainly attracts movers and established families looking for space and willing to pay for it. The largest age group is 45 to 65 years, followed by those aged 65 and over: this is not a starter neighbourhood. With an average income of €47,000 per household and a WOZ value of €597,000, the financial threshold is high. Starters and young families with a limited budget would do well to also look at Heikant or Rooi Dorp, where the entry threshold is lower. The supply in De Oude Omdraaier is narrow: only a handful of homes are sold per year, so anyone wanting to buy here must be patient and able to act quickly. If buying is not feasible now, check out the rental properties in De Oude Omdraaier as an interim solution, although that supply is extremely limited.
