Living in Venne-West, Heusden
Venne-West is a quiet, green residential neighbourhood on the west side of Drunen. The neighbourhood has a distinct family character: wide streets, plenty of greenery between the homes, and a notably high concentration of households with children. The housing stock largely dates from the 1970s and 1980s, with a mix of terraced houses, semi-detached houses and detached houses on larger plots. There are also newer infill developments, but the tone is set by the spacious, orderly layout characteristic of that construction period.
In terms of amenities, Venne-West is reasonably self-sufficient. Within walking distance you will find a neighbourhood shopping centre with a supermarket, and the centre of Drunen is a few minutes away by bike.

Sports clubs, including football and tennis clubs, are well represented in the area. The greenery in the neighbourhood itself, with playgrounds and small parks, makes it pleasant for families with young children.

Residents particularly appreciate Venne-West for its peace, space and safe living environment.
