Boxtel-Centrum, Boxtel
NeighbourhoodThis apartment on Baroniestraat sits right in the centre of Boxtel, where the daytime buzz gives way to quieter evenings. With 57 m² of living space, it's a compact home that feels cosy rather than cramped. The energy label C means it's reasonably efficient, though the 1916 construction year hints at character features you might not find in a new build. At €275,000, it's the cheapest of the five apartments currently for sale in the neighbourhood and 34% below the average asking price, a keen entry point into the local market. For context, apartments in Boxtel typically command higher prices per square metre.
Boxtel-Centrum gets a 7.04 out of 10 from three residents, and their views are mixed. One resident describes it as "a quiet neighbourhood with plenty of greenery nearby, such as Molenwijk Park" and notes that "several supermarkets are easily accessible (5 minutes by bike)". Another appreciates the community feel but points out that "there is too little greenery, there are hardly any trees or parks in the area, which makes it a bit drab" and that "amenities like nice cafés, shops, or sports facilities" are lacking. A third review mentions that "living in the centre is cosy during the day" but flags poorly lit streets and litter. The neighbourhood has a mix of owner-occupied and social housing, with many one-person households and a fair share of families. For more on the area, see the neighbourhood Boxtel-Centrum page.
For your morning bread run, Albert Heijn is just around the corner, and there's a chip shop on the same street for a quick treat. The Angela School is a couple of streets away, making the school run a short walk. Secondary school pupils can reach Baanderherencollege vmbo within a five-minute walk. The train station is a ten-minute walk away, handy for commutes. The municipality Boxtel offers a compact urban feel with a historic centre, though residents note that for a wider range of shops and cafés you might need to venture a bit further.

Living in the centre is cosy during the day. In the evening, poorly lit streets and shady characters on the street. Lots of litter scattered along the Dommel where young people hang out, which attracts rats. Bins are full, they could be emptied more often, especially in the summer.
Auto-translated to English by AIOverall, I enjoy living here. The atmosphere is nice and the people are friendly; you feel a certain sense of community. It feels safe enough to take a walk in the evening, and the houses are well-maintained. However, I do notice that there is too little greenery — there are hardly any trees or parks in the area, which makes it a bit drab. I also miss some amenities like nice cafés, shops, or sports facilities; for that you quickly have to go to another neighbourhood. And public transport isn't great, so without a car it can be a hassle to get anywhere. Explanation of the satisfactory aspects (safety, community, hygiene, housing, education): The neighbourhood generally feels safe, residents keep a good eye out. People know each other a bit and say hello, which makes it pleasant. The streets are kept reasonably clean and rubbish is collected properly. The houses are in good condition, and there are plenty of schools in the area that do fine — not exceptional, but just okay. Explanation of the unsatisfactory aspects (greenery, amenities, accessibility): There is really too little greenery: hardly any trees, no playgrounds or small parks where you can relax. In terms of amenities, the offering is limited, especially if you're looking for something fun to do in the neighbourhood. And accessibility could be better: the bus doesn't run often and the station is far away, which makes it difficult if you don't have a car.
Auto-translated to English by AIIt's a quiet neighbourhood with plenty of greenery nearby, such as Molenwijk Park. Several supermarkets are easily accessible (5 minutes by bike) and there are 2 chip shops on the street. There is a mix of owner-occupied homes and social housing, which ensures a diverse group of people. It's actually always clean and I have never experienced any nuisance.

About Baroniestraat 48-06, Boxtel
At €275,000, this apartment is the cheapest of the five currently for sale in Boxtel-Centrum and sits 34% below the neighbourhood's average asking price of €416,900. However, the 57 m² floor area is 37% smaller than the local average of 90 m², so the price per square metre is actually in line with what you'd expect for a compact home in this area.
The apartment has energy label C, which is average for a home of this age. It means the property is reasonably well-insulated but not as efficient as modern builds. You can expect moderate energy bills, though the exact costs depend on usage and the specific heating system installed.
Residents generally feel safe, with one noting it's "quiet and safe" and another saying "it feels safe enough to take a walk in the evening". There's a sense of community, people know each other and say hello. However, one review mentions poorly lit streets and some shady characters in the evening, so it's worth checking the area at night.
Albert Heijn supermarket is just around the corner (575 m), and there are several chip shops on the street. The Angela School is a couple of streets away (318 m), and the train station is about a ten-minute walk (1 km). A park or public garden is also within a short walk (500 m).
At 57 m², this apartment is 37% smaller than the average floor area of 90 m² for homes currently for sale in Boxtel-Centrum. It's a compact living space, typical of older centre apartments, so it suits someone who prioritises location over square metres.
The train station is 1 km away, about a ten-minute walk, which is convenient for rail travel. Bus services are available but residents note that frequencies could be better, and without a car, getting to some destinations can be a hassle.
Molenwijk Park is within walking distance (500 m), and one resident mentions "plenty of greenery nearby". However, another review notes that the immediate neighbourhood lacks trees and parks, so the green spaces are a bit further out.
