Living in Ussen: a cosy family neighbourhood with views of the polder
Ussen is one of the larger neighbourhoods of Oss, with over 13,000 residents. It is a neighbourhood where you encounter many families: the largest group of households consists of couples with children, and the 45-65 age group is the most strongly represented. That says something about its character. Ussen is not a trendy starter neighbourhood, but a place where people settle down and stay. Residents give the neighbourhood a 7.0 out of 10 on Buurtje.nl, based on five reviews. Notably high scores are for green spaces (7.6), housing (7.6) and amenities (7.6). Resident Martino sums it up: "Cosy neighbourhood and all amenities within walking distance, especially for the elderly and less mobile. Always a chat with neighbours." You recognise that picture when you walk through the neighbourhood.
In terms of amenities, Ussen has its own shopping centre, although resident J. Luijk notes that the range there is limited. For daily groceries you will find a supermarket, but for more extensive shopping you go to the centre of Oss, which is within cycling distance. There are several primary schools in the neighbourhood, including De Korenaer and De Kameleon, although education scores the lowest in the ratings with a 5.8. There is plenty to do sport-wise: football club TOP Oss is within walking distance, and resident R writes: "The football club within walking distance and the school too, and a view of the polder. I couldn't wish for a nicer neighbourhood." Along the edge of the neighbourhood, Ussen borders the open polder landscape, which provides a green and spacious feel. More details about the neighbourhood and all resident reviews can be found on the Ussen neighbourhood page.
Accessibility scores a 6.8. Ussen is located on the west side of Oss, with good connections to the A59 towards Den Bosch (about 20 minutes by car). Oss station is about 10 minutes away by bike and offers direct trains to Den Bosch and Nijmegen. Bus lines towards the centre and station stop in the neighbourhood. The neighbourhood is divided into several sub-areas, each with its own character. In Hazenkamp and Loovelt you will find many single-family homes from the 1980s and 1990s. Sub-areas such as Schalkskamp and Westerveld have a slightly newer housing stock. To be fair, some residents do not rate the beauty of the neighbourhood highly (6.4) and the sense of community is experienced variably. Resident Amber gives a 5.0 and writes: "In my neighbourhood, most people keep to themselves, quiet. One time a party, another time you hear children shouting." That is the nuance: it is not a bustling neighbourhood, but a quiet one.

Auto-translated to English by AIThe neighbourhood is part of Ussen and is reasonably well provided with greenery, has a shopping centre with limited offerings. Due to national/municipal regulations, many immigrants have moved into the neighbourhood in recent years. Besides language problems, they are also not familiar with the habits of the average Dutch person. Among themselves, they still speak their own language and the children are not taught Dutch either. A great loss for themselves and a nuisance for the surroundings. Upon entering our country, it would also be good to inform them about some general customs/practices in addition to the language. Such as how to put out rubbish, maintain gardens, etc. (they don't read the relevant app)
Auto-translated to English by AIIn my neighbourhood, most people are quiet on their own, sometimes a party, other times you hear children shouting and people complain a lot.
Auto-translated to English by AIA lot of litter and people put everything outside just to avoid taking it to the dump or thrift store themselves. Also, it would be nice if they looked at who they give the houses to. If you want more integration, don't put too many families who barely speak Dutch from different cultures next to each other, so that you can actually connect with each other.. I don't know anything about education as we don't use it
