Living in Vrachelen-Noord, Oosterhout

Vrachelen-Noord is a quiet, green residential neighbourhood on the north side of the Vrachelen district, which itself is known as one of the quieter and greener parts of Oosterhout. The neighbourhood largely consists of spacious family homes and detached houses, predominantly built in the 1970s and 1980s. This means wide streets, front gardens, plenty of greenery between the homes, and a building density clearly lower than in the centre. Those who live here appreciate the peace and space, but need a bike or car for daily errands.

For daily shopping, you can go to the supermarkets on Mgr. Nolensstraat or in the nearby shopping centre at Arendshof, within cycling distance of most addresses in the neighbourhood. Primary schools such as De Regenboog and other schools in the immediate vicinity of Vrachelen are easily accessible by bike, which is a practical advantage for families with young children. Sporting Oosterhout is represented through football club OSC and various other sports clubs active in and around the district. The Wilhelminakanaal and the green zones towards the countryside make walking and cycling from the neighbourhood pleasant.
