House prices and market figures for Roofvogelbuurt, Oss
The housing market in Roofvogelbuurt is relatively compact: of the 447 homes, exactly half are owner-occupied. This balance between rental and owner-occupied properties gives the neighbourhood a mixed character, with social housing accounting for a significant share (42%). The average WOZ value is €257,000, which is noticeably lower than the average in the neighbouring Schadewijk (€290,000) and well below the municipal average of Oss (€346,000).

Living in Roofvogelbuurt, Oss
Roofvogelbuurt is a quiet, largely post-war residential area in the southwest of Oss, part of the broader Schadewijk. The street names refer to birds of prey, giving the neighbourhood a distinctive character compared to the adjacent Vogelbuurt or Verzetsheldenbuurt I. The buildings mostly date from the 1960s and 1970s: terraced houses with front and back gardens, fairly wide streets, and some green strips between the housing blocks. It is not a neighbourhood that stands out for architectural highlights, but it is functional and clearly laid out.
In terms of atmosphere, it is quiet here. The largest group of residents is between 25 and 45 years old, and there are relatively many single-person households (165). This is reflected in the streets: it is not a neighbourhood full of children playing on every corner, although with 155 residents under 15, there are certainly families present. The labour participation rate is 64%, reflecting an active working population.
For daily shopping, you can go to the immediate vicinity of Schadewijk, where supermarkets and small shopping strips are accessible by bike. The city centre of Oss, with the shopping area around Raadhuislaan and Oss station, is about five to ten minutes away by bike. Oss station offers direct connections to Den Bosch and Nijmegen, making the neighbourhood attractive for commuters. By car, the A59 is quickly accessible, towards Den Bosch and the motorway network. Bus services run via the main routes in the neighbourhood to the centre and beyond.

One resident writes: "It's just quiet living here, you know your neighbours and the neighbourhood is easily accessible by bike to the centre." Criticisms that come up sometimes concern the appearance of older homes and the limited supply of eateries in the immediate vicinity. Compared to the somewhat newer Schadewijk Noord-Oost or De Horzak, Roofvogelbuurt is more compact and more established in character.
