Yes, it's priced keenly. The average asking price in Braken-West is €535,458, so this home is 19% below that. Given the 124 m² floor area and 203 m² plot, it offers good value compared to other homes in the neighbourhood.
The energy label is C, which is average for a house from 1963. You can expect moderate energy costs, but it's not as efficient as a modern home. Most homes in the neighbourhood have a label D or lower (72.7%), so this one is slightly better than typical.
The nearest train station is 13.5 km away, so it's not within walking distance. You'd need a car or bus for train travel. The area is more car-dependent for longer journeys.
The closest primary school is OBS De Groene Bogen, just 304 m away, a short walk. For secondary education, d'Oultremont College is 744 m away. There are several other schools within a few kilometres.
Currently, 12 homes are listed for sale in the neighbourhood. Over the past year, 36 homes were sold, with an average selling time of 60 days, indicating a steady market.

How residents experience their municipality
Nice neighbourhood where everyone respects each other and neighbours help each other when needed. All kinds of amenities are nearby: shops, church, school, town hall. On the edge of the village, so also straight into nature and the countryside for walking and cycling. And just 6 minutes by car from Den Bosch, which is also ideal. The municipality cleans very regularly (sweeper truck), there is no mess in the neighbourhood. There is enough social control without being too much in each other's business.

Auto-translated to English by AIAs far as the Hamelpark and the adjoining streets are concerned, investment should be made in traffic safety. Although all of Oudheusden is designated as a "woonerf", for some it seems more like a racetrack. How fast can I drive past the speed-reducing measures such as speed bumps and road narrowings? The delivery services are also to blame for this. The neighbourhood has many children and motorists do not seem to take this into account, and it will go wrong one day. For a long time, the neighbourhood had a stable core of residents. Recently, labour migrants and emigrants dominate the housing market, and that is not a good prospect. They have no connection with their neighbours. As a result, the gap between current residents and newcomers will widen until everyone has left the neighbourhood. A missed opportunity for the municipality of Heusden to put a stop to this early on. This battle is lost. Not recommended for anyone looking for peace and cosiness.
Auto-translated to English by AIEverything is fine here. All amenities are on one square, which is usually convenient, but it also makes it very busy there, especially with parking. Additionally, people in the neighbourhood usually drive way too fast. The neighbourhood itself is good, with plenty of things for young children as well.

Auto-translated to English by AIIt's nice to grow up in Oudheusden. There are many playgrounds, several primary schools, and the library is accessible. The main downside is the accessibility of Oudheusden by public transport. The bus goes to Den Bosch once every 30 minutes, but places like Waalwijk and Drunen are only reachable by the Buurtbus, which doesn't always run on time. If you want to travel outside the immediate area, you quickly become dependent on a car. Additionally, I think there has been a lot of litter on the streets in recent months. That's always a shame.
