Living in Oudenbosch-Centrum: village character with urban amenities
Oudenbosch-Centrum is the beating heart of Oudenbosch, a village known for its striking basilica inspired by St. Peter's in Rome. The centre has a village character but boasts surprisingly many amenities for a place of this size. Along the Markt and in the adjoining shopping streets you will find various shops, eateries, an Albert Heijn and specialist stores. Resident Ravi sums it up succinctly: "I've lived here my whole life and I have no complaints; everything you could need is nearby."
The neighbourhood scores highly on amenities (8.2) and accessibility (8.4) in the resident rating of Oudenbosch-Centrum. There are several primary schools in the immediate vicinity and with the Juvenaat and other educational institutions, the neighbourhood scores a remarkable 9.0 on education. Abuubakar calls it a "small village but it has everything, from secondary school to shops".
Accessibility is good. Oudenbosch station is within walking distance of the centre and offers a direct train connection to Breda (approx. 20 minutes) and Roosendaal (approx. 10 minutes). The A17 is reachable within a few minutes via the Bosschendijk, which suits commuters heading to Breda, Dordrecht or Rotterdam. Local buses operated by Arriva connect you to surrounding villages.
The housing supply in the centre is varied. You will find characteristic terraced houses and townhouses from the early twentieth century around the Markt, but also post-war family homes and newer apartments. There is active construction in and around the centre, which is not appreciated by everyone. Resident Pluer notes: "Only the new-build homes are taken into account. We've been putting up with the noise and excessive traffic for a year and a half, and it's only getting busier." The construction activity therefore brings temporary inconvenience, something to bear in mind if you are buying a home now in certain parts of the neighbourhood.
The atmosphere is predominantly quiet and friendly, although resident Melanie misses "a nice bit of nature for walking". The score for green space is 7.0, the lowest sub-score. Those seeking more space and greenery can look at Pagnevaart or the rural area north of Oudenbosch. Comparing the centre with the wider district of Oudenbosch, you pay less per home here but live more compactly. Single-person households form the largest group with 990, fitting the centre's character with smaller homes and apartments.

Small village but has everything from secondary school to shops
Auto-translated to English by AIOnly the new-build homes and the homes that are coming are taken into account. Meanwhile, we've been putting up with noise and excessive traffic for 1.5 years, and it's only getting busier because more homes are being built that access the dyke only via us, instead of 300 metres further where they keep their own road for 4 homes, and I get the whole neighbourhood and now also cemetery visitors passing by. The remaining patch of green is used by a quarter of the neighbourhood as a dog toilet without being cleaned up (I regularly clean it up because it's just lying there next to the driveway).
