Station, Breda
NeighbourhoodThis 96 m² apartment on Academiesingel sits right in the thick of things, with the station and city centre within easy reach. The building dates from 1897, so you get high ceilings and period character, but the energy label A means it's surprisingly efficient. At €499,000, the price is a touch below the neighbourhood median of €524,000, keen for a home this central. For context, apartments in Breda vary widely, but this one stands out for its combination of old-soul charm and modern insulation.
The neighbourhood Station is one of Breda's most densely populated areas, with a very strong urban feel (over 3,500 addresses per km²). It's a young crowd, most residents are between 25 and 45, and two-thirds of households are single-person. The one review 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." So you trade peace and quiet for unbeatable proximity to everything.
For groceries, Aldi is just around the corner, SPAR a couple of streets away, and Jumbo a five-minute walk. There's also an AH to go near the station. Schools are close too: De Singel SO (special education) is a five-minute walk, and Kbs De Spoorzoeker primary school is about ten minutes on foot. The municipality Breda keeps the city centre well-stocked with restaurants, parks, and cultural spots, all within walking distance.
At the time of writing, the home is listed through several channels, including Zuyderleven Makelaars. The listing is complete with all key details provided.

About Academiesingel 42C1, Breda
The asking price of €499,000 is slightly below the neighbourhood median of €524,000 and well under the average of €582,188. Given that the floor area (96 m²) is smaller than the local average of 128 m², the price per m² works out to about €5,198, close to the neighbourhood average of €5,208. So it's priced in line with the market, not a bargain but not overpriced either.
The Station neighbourhood is very urban and lively, which means noise, especially at night and during festivals, is a known issue. One resident mentions the house shakes when a train passes. Crime figures are relatively high (591 total incidents), but that's typical for a dense city-centre area. Bicycle theft is a common complaint, so secure parking is something to consider.
Breda station is about 800 metres away, a ten-minute walk. That makes it easy for commuting to Rotterdam, Amsterdam, or elsewhere. The apartment's location on Academiesingel puts you right between the station and the city centre.
The apartment has energy label A, which is very efficient. In the neighbourhood, 72% of homes have label A and 12% have A+, so this is in line with the local standard. You can expect relatively low heating costs compared to older buildings.
Yes, several. Aldi is just 198 metres away, SPAR at 341 metres, and Jumbo at 472 metres. There's also an AH to go near the station (487 metres) and a full Albert Heijn at 627 metres. Daily shopping is very convenient.
Within a kilometre you'll find De Singel SO (special education, 490 m), Kbs De Spoorzoeker primary school (658 m), Rudolf Steiner School (857 m), and Kbs St. Joseph (961 m). For secondary education, Stedelijk Gymnasium Breda is about 1 km away. All are within easy walking or cycling distance.
The listing does not mention any garden, balcony, or terrace. Given that it's a first-floor apartment in a 19th-century building, outdoor space is unlikely. The neighbourhood has a park or public garden 500 metres away for green space.
