Graafsebuurt zuid, Den Bosch
NeighbourhoodThis apartment on Esdoornstraat sits in a lively part of 's-Hertogenbosch, where the streets have a distinctly urban feel. With 83 m² of living space and a C energy label, it's a solid home for someone who wants a base in the city. The asking price of €365,000 is in line with the market, given that the average price per m² in the neighbourhood is €4,633 and the median price for homes here is €425,000. For context, apartments in Den Bosch vary widely, but this one sits at a reasonable level.
Graafsebuurt zuid is a dense, urban area with a mix of pre-war and 1970s housing. It's home to around 1,850 people, many of whom live alone, the average household size is just 1.9. The neighbourhood has a high address density of 3,267 per km², which gives it a very strong urban feel. Residents have mixed views: one says it's a "messy little neighbourhood" with too many immigrants and regular police presence, while another who has lived here for 35 years notes that the sense of community has faded and safety has decreased. A third resident adds that the area is "visibly deteriorating" with less care for front gardens and pavements. These are the voices of three residents, so they offer a snapshot rather than the full picture. For more context, see the Graafsebuurt zuid neighbourhood.
For daily shopping, you have an Albert Heijn just around the corner and a Jumbo a couple of streets away. There's also a Coop within a ten-minute walk. For families, primary schools are nearby: KC Het IJzeren Kind is a ten-minute walk away, and Kindcentrum De Troubadour is a bit further. Secondary education is available at Rodenborch-College, about 1.1 km away. The neighbourhood also has a GP surgery within a five-minute walk, and a park or public garden just around the corner.

Don't think the neighbourhood is clean and too many immigrants together in one area and police regularly appear, that's not for nothing
Auto-translated to English by AILiving in this neighbourhood for over 35 years and have seen a lot of negative changes over the years. 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.
Auto-translated to English by AIIn the past the neighbourhood was cleaner and people maintained the front gardens and pavements better, also the children just throw everything on the street

About Esdoornstraat 91, 'S-Hertogenbosch

Another notes that police regularly appear, which they see as a sign of issues. The neighbourhood recorded 102 total crimes in the latest data, which is relatively high for a small area. It's worth visiting at different times to get your own impression.
