Station, Breda
NeighbourhoodThis apartment on Academiesingel sits in the heart of Breda, where the station buzz meets a historic setting. The 1903 building gives it character, and at 82 m² it's a compact city home. With an E energy label, heating costs are something to factor in. The asking price of €470,000 is 21% below the neighbourhood average of €593,333, which is keen compared to other apartments in Breda.
Station is a dense, urban area with a young population, many singles and students. One resident sums it up: "Not enough bicycle parking. Often theft, 6 bikes stolen within a year. Often there is (bulky) waste around the containers. Lots of noise at night, especially during holidays and festivals. The house shakes when a train passes by. 3 floors and no lift." That's based on a single review, so it's one perspective. The neighbourhood has a high address density and a mix of pre-war and modern buildings. For more context, see the Station neighbourhood.
Daily shopping is easy: Aldi is just around the corner, and SPAR is a couple of streets away. For a bigger shop, Jumbo and Albert Heijn are a ten-minute walk. Schools nearby include Kbs De Spoorzoeker (a five-minute walk) and Rudolf Steiner School (a ten-minute walk). The train station is a ten-minute walk, and the park is just around the corner.

About Academiesingel 36, Breda
The asking price is 21% below the neighbourhood average of €593,333, which makes it keen compared to other homes in Station. However, the floor area (82 m²) is 37% smaller than the neighbourhood average of 131 m², and the energy label E is less efficient than most homes in the area, where 84% have label A or better. So the price reflects the smaller size and lower energy performance.
The energy label is E, which means the home is not very energy-efficient. Heating costs are likely to be higher than in a home with a better label. In the Station neighbourhood, most homes for sale have label A or better (84%), so this apartment is below average in that respect.
One resident reports noise at night, especially during holidays and festivals, and mentions that the house shakes when a train passes by. They also note bicycle theft and bulky waste around containers. The neighbourhood has a total of 591 recorded crimes, but without a per-capita figure it's hard to compare. The train station is a ten-minute walk, so train noise is a factor.
The train station is 0.8 km away, about a ten-minute walk.
Yes, Aldi is just around the corner (241 m), SPAR is a couple of streets away (302 m), and AH to go is 460 m. For a full grocery shop, Jumbo and Albert Heijn are within a ten-minute walk (507 m and 623 m respectively).
Primary schools include Kbs De Spoorzoeker (653 m) and Rudolf Steiner School (844 m). For secondary education, Stedelijk Gymnasium Breda is about 1 km away. There is also a special school, De Singel SO, at 507 m.
The building was constructed in 1903, so it's over 120 years old. The listing does not mention any recent renovations, so you should expect some maintenance needs typical of a pre-war property. The energy label E also suggests the insulation and heating system may be dated.
