Kroeven-Zuidwest, Roosendaal
NeighbourhoodThis terraced house on De Genestetlaan sits in a calm corner of Roosendaal, where the pace of life feels unhurried. With 117 m² of living space and a 156 m² plot, it offers more room than many similar homes in the area. The price of €349,000 is a touch above the neighbourhood average of €319,000, but given the larger floor area and the fact that only one other terraced house is currently for sale, it's in line with what you'd expect for a home of this size. For context, terraced houses in Roosendaal typically sell for around €3,394 per m².
Kroeven-Zuidwest is a small, established neighbourhood with about 1,890 residents. It's a mix of ages, with a noticeable share of older residents (over 65s make up the largest age group). The housing stock is mostly pre-1970, and half of the homes are terraced houses like this one. One resident, who gave the neighbourhood a 9 out of 10, says: "Although there is more and more litter, the fellow humans here are quite active in cleaning it up, so it's usually gone quickly again. And despite the me-me-me culture that is spreading like an oil slick across the whole world, I still notice that there are enough people here who have an eye and a helping hand for their (elderly) neighbours. That makes this, despite minor annoyances, a nice neighbourhood to live in." It's a place where people look out for each other. For more on the area, see the Kroeven-Zuidwest neighbourhood.
For your morning bread run, Lidl is just around the corner, and Jumbo is a couple of streets away. There's also a Dirk and an Albert Heijn within a ten-minute walk. Families with young children will find two primary schools on the doorstep: KPO Basisschool De Watermolen and Openbare Basisschool De Gezellehoek. A third, Protestant Christelijke School De Kroevendonk, is a five-minute walk away. The neighbourhood has a park or green space just 200 m away, perfect for a quick stroll. For broader amenities, the municipality of Roosendaal offers everything you need.

About De Genestetlaan 5, Roosendaal
The asking price of €349,000 is about 9% above the average sale price in Kroeven-Zuidwest (€319,000). However, this home is larger than the neighbourhood average (117 m² vs 94 m²), so the price per m² (€2,983) is actually below the neighbourhood average of €3,394 per m². Given that only one other terraced house is for sale in the area, the price seems reasonable for the size.
The home has an energy label C. That means it's reasonably efficient but not top-tier. You can expect moderate energy bills, though not as low as with an A or B label. In the neighbourhood, half of the homes have label B and half have label D or lower, so this home sits in the middle.
Roosendaal train station is 3.3 km away, which is about a 40-minute walk or a 10-minute bike ride. It's a manageable distance for commuting, especially if you cycle.
Based on one neighbourhood review, residents are described as helpful and community-minded, with people keeping an eye on elderly neighbours. The reviewer noted some litter but said it's quickly cleaned up. The neighbourhood has a mix of ages, with many over-65s and families with children.
In Kroeven-Zuidwest, sold homes took an average of 61 days to sell. That's about two months, which suggests a steady but not frantic market. The current home has just been listed, so there's no rush.
