Living in West: green, quiet and close to everything Oosterhout has to offer
West is not a neighbourhood that stands out for spectacular architecture or a bustling shopping square on the corner, but that is precisely what many residents appreciate about it. The atmosphere is quiet and green, the streets are clear and the neighbours know each other. On the neighbourhood page of West on Buurtje.nl, residents give the neighbourhood positive ratings for safety and green spaces. One resident describes it as: "You live here quietly, but you are in the city centre within five minutes." That is true: the city centre of Oosterhout, with the weekly market on Slotjesveld and the shops on Heuvel, is within cycling distance. Those looking for more urban dynamism can go to Oosterhout-Centrum.
In terms of amenities, West scores well for a neighbourhood of this size. Primary schools are nearby, and several secondary schools are accessible in Oosterhout itself. Daily groceries can be done at supermarkets on the edge of the neighbourhood or in the nearby centre. Sports enthusiasts find their way to the clubs along Vijfeikenweg and surroundings, and the greenery along the Oosterhoutse forests and the Markdal is reachable by bike. The neighbourhood Oud-West forms the older heart of the neighbourhood, with characteristic 1950s and 1960s buildings. Those looking for more urban new-build can also look at Slotjes or Leijsenakkers.
Accessibility is a serious plus point. Via the A27, you are in Breda in about twenty minutes and in a similar time towards Utrecht. Oosterhout does not have its own train station, but bus connections link West with the centre and with Breda, where you can transfer to the train. For commuters heading to Breda or Tilburg, the car is usually the fastest option.
