House prices and market figures for Vroenhout, Roosendaal
Vroenhout is a pronounced owner-occupied neighbourhood: as much as 95% of the housing stock consists of owner-occupied homes, and only 5% is in the hands of private landlords. There are simply no social housing properties. That says something about the character of the neighbourhood: this is not an average residential area, but a rural area where people consciously choose to live.
The average WOZ value in Vroenhout is €529,000. That is more than double the district average in West (€223,000) and well above the municipal average for Roosendaal (€292,000). The neighbourhood is thus in a completely different market segment than most other areas in the city.
In the past twelve months, three homes were sold, with an average purchase price of €646,500. The range runs from €149,000 to €1,350,000, indicating that the supply varies widely: from a smaller home or building plot to a spacious detached estate. The average sold plot was approximately 25,600 m², which well illustrates the rural scale of Vroenhout. A uniform price per m² of living space is difficult to give due to this spread. See the current supply and the average asking price at the top of this page for the most recent status.
Living in Vroenhout, Roosendaal
Vroenhout is not a residential area in the classic sense of the word. It is a small, rural community on the western edge of Roosendaal, with around 385 inhabitants spread over a green rural area. Those who live here have consciously chosen it: for space, peace and distance from the hustle and bustle of the city, but with the municipality of Roosendaal within easy reach.
The buildings largely consist of detached houses and farmhouses on spacious plots. Terraced houses or apartments are hardly found here. Many homes were built in the second half of the twentieth century, but there are also older characteristic properties and former agricultural buildings that have been converted into residential use. In Vroenhout, the plot is at least as important as the house itself.
Facilities in the neighbourhood itself are limited, which is fitting for a neighbourhood of this size. For daily groceries, schools and medical care, you rely on the nearest centres. The centre of Roosendaal is reachable within a few kilometres, with a full range of shops, Roosendaal station and various primary and secondary schools. For sports enthusiasts, there are various clubs active in the wider area, including in football, tennis and equestrian sports, which ties in well with the rural character of the surroundings.
In terms of accessibility, Vroenhout is primarily car-oriented. The connection to the A17 towards Breda and Bergen op Zoom is quickly reachable, and the A58 is also a short distance away. Roosendaal station offers intercity connections to Breda, Bergen op Zoom and beyond. Public transport from Vroenhout itself is limited; your own transport is not a luxury here but a necessity.
Residents of Vroenhout particularly appreciate the peace and space the neighbourhood offers. In reviews, it is often mentioned that people live here because of the distance from the hustle and bustle, while Roosendaal is still close enough. One resident writes: "It's wonderfully quiet here, you see more cows than cars. But for everything you need, you just hop in the car to Roosendaal." Criticism sometimes focuses on the lack of facilities within walking distance and the limited public transport connections. See all reviews and neighbourhood data on the neighbourhood main page of Vroenhout.
Anyone comparing Vroenhout with other neighbourhoods in the West district will quickly notice the difference. Neighbourhoods like Ettingen and Scherpdeel have a more mixed character with a larger share of regular residential buildings. Heerma van Vossstraat-Molenbeek is closer to urban facilities. Within the district West, Vroenhout is the most rural and exclusive neighbourhood, with the highest average WOZ value and the largest plots.
Who is a home for sale in Vroenhout suitable for?

First-time buyers will find little here: prices are high, supply is small and there are hardly any affordable starter homes. For those moving up the property ladder or people wanting to make the step from an urban environment to the countryside, buying in Vroenhout is a serious option, provided you are willing to wait for the right house. Supply changes slowly. Also be prepared for competition for attractive properties.
