Few facilities in the neighbourhood itself. The facilities that are there are clustered together and not very extensive. You soon have to go to another neighbourhood. The public space in the neighbourhood is poorly maintained or not at all. The community deteriorates every year. There is increasing nuisance from homeless people and drug users. There are enough schools in the neighbourhood, but I have no personal experience with the quality of education. The neighbourhood is reasonably accessible by car, bike and public transport.

About Grote Houw 217, Breda
Yes, €702 is very low compared to other rentals in Heusdenhout. The neighbourhood median rent is €1,658, and the average price per m² is €14.61. This flat works out at €13.25 per m², so it is well below market rates. However, it is a social-rent property, so eligibility criteria apply.
Energy label E means the flat is not very energy-efficient. You can expect higher heating bills compared to a home with a better label. The building is from 1971, so insulation is likely limited. It is worth factoring in higher monthly energy costs.
The nearest train station is 3.5 km away, which is about a 10-minute bike ride or a short bus journey. The neighbourhood is reasonably accessible by public transport, according to a resident review.
Heusdenhout has a diverse population: about 20% are under 15, 24% are 25-45, and 24% are 65 or older. There are many single-person households (1,060) and households with children (795). The one resident review describes the community as deteriorating, with nuisance from homeless people and drug users.
Yes, an Albert Heijn is just 123 metres away, so daily shopping is very convenient. For more extensive shopping, you may need to go to another neighbourhood, as the resident review notes that facilities in Heusdenhout itself are limited.
