Graafsebuurt zuid is a dense, urban area with a mix of pre-war and 1970-1990 housing. Around two-thirds of homes are terraced or semi-detached, and just 29% are owner-occupied. The neighbourhood scores a 7.1 out of 10 from three reviews, though the feedback is mixed. One resident says: "Don't think the neighbourhood is clean and too many immigrants together in one area and police regularly appear, that's not for nothing." Another, who has lived here over 35 years, notes: "It was always a peculiar neighbourhood in many respects. But there was still something like a sense of community. But now that everyone is more to themselves and has less (good) contact with neighbours, my feeling of safety has noticeably decreased." A third adds: "In the past the neighbourhood was cleaner and people maintained the front gardens and pavements better, also the children just throw everything on the street." Based on these three reviews, the sense of community and cleanliness are points of concern. For more context, see the Graafsebuurt zuid neighbourhood.

But there was still something like a sense of community. But now that everyone is more to themselves and has less (good) contact with neighbours, my feeling of safety has noticeably decreased.

About Cypresstraat 31, 'S-Hertogenbosch
The asking price of €269,500 is 26% below the neighbourhood average of €365,625, and also below the median of €370,000. Given that the floor area (52 m²) is smaller than the neighbourhood average of 83 m², the price per m² works out at about €5,183, slightly above the neighbourhood average of €4,614 per m². So while the total price is low, you're paying a bit more per square metre.
The energy label is C, which is average for a home of this age (built in 1986). It means the property is reasonably well insulated but not as efficient as modern standards. You can expect moderate energy bills, but nothing extreme. In the neighbourhood, 56% of homes have label C, and 19% have label B, so this home is in line with the local stock.
The train station is 1.2 km away, about a ten-minute walk. That gives you direct connections to Utrecht, Eindhoven, and other cities. The neighbourhood is very urban (address density 3,267 per km²), so public transport is generally frequent.
Albert Heijn is 500 metres away, Jumbo at 550 metres, and Coop at 1 km. For dining, a restaurant is just 200 metres away. A GP practice is 300 metres, and a park or public garden is 300 metres. The city centre of 's-Hertogenbosch is within walking distance, offering a wide range of shops, cafes, and cultural venues.
The neighbourhood recorded 102 total crimes in the latest data, which is moderate for an urban area. Resident reviews mention concerns about safety and cleanliness, with one long-term resident noting a decrease in the sense of community and feeling of safety.
