House prices and market figures for Kalsdonk, Roosendaal
Kalsdonk is predominantly a rental neighbourhood: only 33% of the more than 1,700 homes are owner-occupied, a large proportion of which are owned by housing associations. This makes the owner-occupied segment relatively limited, but not uninteresting. The average WOZ value in Kalsdonk is €209,000, which is noticeably lower than the district average for Noord (€232,000) and well below the Roosendaal municipal average (€292,000). However, actual transaction prices are significantly higher: over the past twelve months, 13 owner-occupied homes were sold for an average of €385,538, with a range of €225,000 to €535,000. With an average living area of 134 m², this works out to approximately €2,877 per square metre. The difference between WOZ and sale price indicates that the homes that do come onto the market are often larger or of better quality, such as larger single-family homes. Apartments and smaller terraced houses are also present, but the market is thin. At the top of this page, you can see the current listings and the average asking price at this moment.
Living in Kalsdonk, Roosendaal
Kalsdonk is a working-class neighbourhood in North Brabant with character. The neighbourhood lies in the north of Roosendaal, directly bordering the city centre, and has a distinct identity that you won't easily find in a brochure. The housing stock largely dates from the 1950s to 1970s: terraced houses, semi-detached homes and a handful of apartment blocks alternate along straight streets with plenty of greenery in between. It is not a gleaming new-build district, but a neighbourhood where people have lived for decades and know their neighbours.
In terms of amenities, Kalsdonk scores remarkably well. Residents give amenities a 9 out of 10, and for good reason. Supermarkets, shops and Roosendaal city centre are within cycling distance. Primary schools in and around the neighbourhood score highly in assessments (a 9 for education), making the neighbourhood attractive for families with young children. Green spaces also score an 8: there are playgrounds, strips of parkland and the nearby parks in the Noord district are easily accessible on foot or by bike.
Accessibility is functional but not exceptional. Residents give this a 6. Roosendaal has a NS railway station with direct connections to Breda, Bergen op Zoom and Antwerp, and from Kalsdonk the station can be reached by bike in five to ten minutes. For cars, the connection to the A58 (towards Breda and Bergen op Zoom) is relatively quick via Roosendaal's ring roads. Bus services are available but limited in frequency, which is a point of attention for people without a car or bike.
The community and the neighbourhood's appearance both score a 6, which is fair. Kalsdonk is not a neighbourhood that impresses with architecture or a lively dining and drinking scene. It is quiet, sometimes a bit anonymous, and social cohesion varies by street. Safety and housing are rated higher, both an 8. One resident describes the neighbourhood as: "Quiet and green, good for children, but not the most lively neighbourhood if you're looking for nightlife." That is an honest summary. Read all reviews and neighbourhood data on the page for Kalsdonk.
