House prices in Noord: well above the WOZ value
Noord is a mixed neighbourhood where owner-occupied and rental properties are balanced: 48% of homes are owner-occupied, 52% are rented. A large proportion of rental homes are owned by a housing association (42%), which partly determines the character of the neighbourhood. The average WOZ value is €232,000, which is clearly lower than the municipal average of €292,000 in Roosendaal. Yet actual transactions tell a different story: over the past twelve months, 38 homes were sold at an average purchase price of €445,750. The range runs from €205,000 to as much as €3,500,000, with an average living area of 205 m². That difference between WOZ and sale price points to a mix of modest terraced houses and larger homes at the top end of the market. For current asking prices and available supply, you can consult the overview at the top of this page.
Inside Noord: station around the corner, but not everywhere equally quiet
Noord is located directly north of Roosendaal city centre and thus has a location that is practical, but also has its downsides. Residents give the neighbourhood a score of 5.0 out of 10 on Buurtje.nl, with accessibility (4.7) and sense of community (4.3) as the weakest points. One resident succinctly describes the neighbourhood as "fine": close to shops, near the station and easily accessible. That's correct: Roosendaal station is within walking distance, with direct connections to Breda, Bergen op Zoom and Antwerp. For motorists, the A17 is quickly reachable. But not everyone is equally satisfied. Another resident specifically complains about parking pressure in Groenstraat, where there is too little space for residents. That is a concrete point of attention if you are considering buying a home in Noord without your own driveway or garage. View all resident responses and neighbourhood data on the neighbourhood page of Noord.
In terms of amenities, Noord scores reasonably. Roosendaal centre with supermarkets, shops and catering is within cycling distance. In the neighbourhood itself, primary schools are present, and there are sports facilities in the area. Green space scores a 5.0: there are parks and gardens, but it is not an outspoken green neighbourhood. Those looking for more space and greenery can also look at Groot Kroeven or Langdonk, neighbourhoods on the edge of Roosendaal with a quieter character. Within Noord itself, there are clear differences per sub-area: Parklaan-Hoogstraat has a somewhat stately appearance, while Kalsdonk has a more working-class neighbourhood character. Spoorstraat-Van Coothlaan and Nieuwenberg also each have their own atmosphere and supply.
The population of Noord is varied: the largest group is 45 to 65 years old, but the group aged 25 to 45 is also well represented. The proportion of single-person households is high (1,525 of households), which fits a neighbourhood close to the centre with relatively many social rentals. The average income is €31,400, slightly below the municipal average. Living in Noord thus has an accessible character, but the sale prices of owner-occupied homes are considerably higher than the WOZ value suggests, due to scarcity and the average surface area.
For whom is buying in Noord a realistic option?
Noord is interesting for buyers who consciously choose proximity to the centre and the station, and are willing to pay a reasonable price for it. Starters can find entry-level homes from around €205,000, but must take into account additional costs such as transfer tax (2% for homes above the starter exemption), notary fees and possible renovation costs. Movers and dual-income couples can also find larger homes in the higher segment. Those who doubt whether now is the right time to buy can first look at rental homes in Noord as a temporary alternative. During viewings, also keep a close eye on the parking situation on the street, as that is a recurring point of criticism among residents.

We have little or no parking in the Groenstraat because of 8 cars from Poles. Next year it will get even worse when they start working on the street, even fewer parking spaces in the street. Create more parking spaces in the Groenstraat instead of fewer.
