Academiesingel 42A2
Station, Breda
AreaA compact apartment with an A label in lively Station
This apartment on Academiesingel sits in the heart of Breda, where the energy of the station area meets the calm of a leafy street. With 50 m² of living space, it was compact but efficient, and the A energy label kept running costs low. The last known asking price of €345,000 was keen compared to the neighbourhood average of €561,733, partly because the home was smaller than the typical 125 m² in the area.
