Living in Oudenbosch: village character with surprisingly many amenities
Oudenbosch is one of those places that sometimes surprises people. It is a village of nearly 14,000 residents, but its level of amenities is reminiscent of a small town. Resident Abuubakar sums it up well: "Small village but has everything, from secondary school to shops." And that's true. In the centre you will find several supermarkets (Albert Heijn, Lidl), a varied range of shops along the Markt and Basiliekstraat, and eateries where you can go on a Sunday afternoon. The famous Basilica of Saints Agatha and Barbara, inspired by St. Peter's in Rome, gives the village a distinctive silhouette. In terms of education, Oudenbosch scores remarkably high: residents give an 8.6 for education. There are several primary schools (including De Stappen and De Regenboog) and with the Norbertuscollege, the village has its own secondary school. This is a major plus for families.
Accessibility is good. Oudenbosch has its own NS station on the Roosendaal-Breda line, meaning you can be in Roosendaal in about ten minutes and in Breda in half an hour. The A17 is reachable within five minutes, giving commuters good options towards Dordrecht or Rotterdam. Residents rate accessibility at 7.9. Arriva bus lines connect the village with surrounding towns such as Oud Gastel and nearby Hoeven.
However, there are also critical voices. Resident Pluer points out nuisance from construction traffic and new-build projects: "Only the new-build homes are taken into account. We've been in the noise and excessive traffic for a year and a half." That is a real point, because Oudenbosch is growing and construction is taking place in, among others, the Pagnevaart neighbourhood. This growth brings temporary inconvenience. Resident Melanie would like to see more nature: "I would like it if there were a nice bit of nature to walk in." The green space scores a 7.6, which is quite reasonable, but for real extensive walking areas you need to look towards the rural area south of the village. Ravi, who has lived there his whole life, is very satisfied: "Everything you could need is nearby." On the neighbourhood page of Oudenbosch you can read all resident reviews and view the full neighbourhood data. The average score is 7.7 out of 10, based on 7 reviews.

Quiet, nice street, completely green, friendly neighbours

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).

There is Lob A, which is really an old part of the neighbourhood, then Lob B where we live, which is also old and for low and middle incomes. Then Lob C, which is the nicest part of the neighbourhood and consists mostly of detached houses and semi-detached houses. Both Lob A and B suffer from a lot of nuisance and drug problems.
