Living in Sparrenburg, Den Bosch
Sparrenburg is a quiet, green residential neighbourhood on the southern edge of Rosmalen, part of the municipality of Den Bosch. The neighbourhood was largely built in the 1980s and 1990s, with a mix of detached villas, semi-detached homes and a few terraced houses on the edges. The streets are spacious, with plenty of greenery in between. The name Sparrenburg is no coincidence: spruces, oaks and other tall trees give the neighbourhood a wooded character that you won't find in many other Den Bosch neighbourhoods.
Daily shopping is done at the nearby Rosmalen shopping centre, a few minutes' bike ride away. For a wider selection, you can quickly drive to the centre of Rosmalen or the city centre of Den Bosch. Primary schools in the immediate vicinity serve the families in the neighbourhood, and there are quite a few: households with children form the largest household group. The age distribution confirms this: the 45 to 65 age group is the largest (875 residents), followed by those aged 65 and over (790). This is a neighbourhood where people stay even after their children have grown up.
