Station, Breda
NeighbourhoodThis 50 m² apartment on Academiesingel sits right in the thick of things, with the station just around the corner and the city centre a ten-minute walk away. Built in 1897 but with an A energy label, it combines old character with modern efficiency. At €345,000, the price is 41% below the neighbourhood average of €582,188, a keen entry point for a flat in this part of town. For context, apartments in Breda vary widely, but this one stands out for its low price per square metre.
The neighbourhood Station is a dense, urban area with a very high address density (3,529 per km²). It's a young crowd: nearly half the residents are between 25 and 45, and most households are single-person. 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 the trade-off for living so central, convenience comes with bustle.
For daily shopping, you have an Aldi on your doorstep, a SPAR just around the corner, and a Jumbo a couple of streets away. There's also an Albert Heijn within a ten-minute walk. Families with children will find primary schools like Kbs De Spoorzoeker and Kbs St. Joseph nearby, while the Stedelijk Gymnasium Breda is about a kilometre away. The municipality Breda offers plenty of green escapes too, Valkenberg Park is a five-minute walk.

Given the central location and A energy label, the price looks keen for a buyer who prioritises location over space.
Station is a very urban, densely populated area with mostly single-person households and a young demographic. It's lively, with the train station and city centre within walking distance. The one resident review mentions noise at night, especially during festivals, and issues with bicycle theft and waste. It's a trade-off between convenience and tranquillity.
The flat has an energy label A, which is very efficient. In the neighbourhood, 72% of homes have label A and 12% have A+, so this home is well above average in terms of energy performance. That means lower heating costs and a smaller carbon footprint.
Breda train station is 0.8 km away, about a ten-minute walk.
Yes, an Aldi is 202 m away, a SPAR at 343 m, and a Jumbo at 481 m. Primary schools include Kbs De Spoorzoeker (668 m) and Kbs St. Joseph (962 m). The Stedelijk Gymnasium Breda (secondary) is 1 km away. All within easy walking distance.
The building dates from 1897, making it over 125 years old. However, the A energy label suggests it has been well modernised, likely with good insulation and efficient heating. In the neighbourhood, 37% of homes were built before 1945, so this is typical for the area.
