Living in Vlijmen: village character a stone's throw from Den Bosch
Vlijmen is a sizeable neighbourhood within the municipality of Heusden, with nearly 15,800 residents.

Accessibility (9.0) and amenities (8.7) score notably high. One resident sums it up well: "Nice neighbourhood where everyone respects each other and neighbours help each other when needed. All kinds of amenities are nearby: shops, church, school, town hall." More experiences and all neighbourhood data can be found on the Vlijmen neighbourhood page.
The heart of the village is the Plein, where you will find Albert Heijn, Jumbo, various specialist shops and eateries. Primary schools such as De Springplank and De Leilinde are spread across the neighbourhood, and for secondary education you can go to d'Oultremontcollege. Sports club VV Vlijmense Boys, tennis club LTV Vlijmen and swimming pool De Molenheide offer plenty of sports opportunities. Engelermeer is within cycling distance and is popular for recreation. In the Vlijmen-Dorp neighbourhood you are closest to all amenities, while Vliedberg and Vijfhoeven offer more space and greenery on the outskirts.
In terms of accessibility, Vlijmen is hard to beat for a village. Via the A59 you are in the centre of 's-Hertogenbosch in six minutes, and the connection to the A2 towards Eindhoven or Utrecht is also quickly reached. Bus line 135 (Arriva) connects Vlijmen with Den Bosch and Waalwijk. There is no own train station, but 's-Hertogenbosch station is ten minutes away by car. That explains why many residents live here and work in the city. Not everything is positive: several residents complain about speeding in residential streets and parking nuisance. One reviewer writes bluntly: "People drive over the grass, fatbikes in the middle of the road." At the central Plein, precisely because all amenities are concentrated there, parking can become quite busy. That is the downside of the good amenities. The municipality of Heusden is working on traffic safety plans, but in practice residents do not always notice much of this yet.

Nice neighbourhood where everyone respects each other and neighbours help each other when needed. All kinds of amenities are nearby: shops, church, school, town hall. On the edge of the village, so also straight into nature and the countryside for walking and cycling. And just 6 minutes by car from Den Bosch, which is also ideal. The municipality cleans very regularly (sweeper truck), there is no mess in the neighbourhood. There is enough social control without being too much in each other's business.
Auto-translated to English by AIEverything is fine here. All amenities are on one square, which is usually convenient, but it also makes it very busy there, especially with parking. Additionally, people in the neighbourhood usually drive way too fast. The neighbourhood itself is good, with plenty of things for young children as well.
Auto-translated to English by AIPeople are antisocial, cars constantly park on the bend which is bloody annoying, people drive over the grass, fatbikes swerving down the middle of the road with phone in hand, and so on and so forth.
