Living in Vogelbuurt, Oosterhout

Vogelbuurt is a quiet, green residential neighbourhood in the Strijen district, in the southwest of Oosterhout. The street names already reveal its character: Merelstraat, Lijsterstraat, Vinkstraat. They are quiet residential streets with mainly semi-detached and detached houses from the 1970s and 1980s. Most homes have a garden, a garage or carport and are on a sizeable plot. This is not a neighbourhood where you will find busy terraces or shops in the evening, but that is precisely what many residents appreciate here.

The population composition is stable and mature: the largest group of residents is between 45 and 65 years old, but families with children are also well represented. This is reflected in the neighbourhood itself: there are playgrounds, the streets are quiet enough for children to play outside, and the social cohesion is noticeable. Residents know each other; there is little turnover.

Within Oosterhout, the centre is also easily accessible, with shops, a market and eateries. Primary schools in the immediate vicinity serve families in Vogelbuurt and surrounding neighbourhoods. Sports clubs for football, tennis and hockey can be found in and around Strijen.

It takes about ten minutes to drive to the centre of Oosterhout.
