A grand apartment in the heart of Breda
This spacious apartment on Halstraat 21 sits in the middle of Breda's City neighbourhood, a stone's throw from the Grote Markt and the city's lively streets. With 149 m² of living space, this is a generous home for a city centre, and the 1898 building adds a sense of history. The rent of €2,695 is 51% above the neighbourhood average of €1,782, which puts it on the high side, but the size explains much of that. For context, apartments in Breda typically offer less space for the money.
The City neighbourhood
The City neighbourhood is the beating heart of Breda, with everything you need within walking distance. One resident, who gave the area a score of 8.38 out of 10, sums it up: "Best place", the plus point being "everything in the neighbourhood". The only downside mentioned is "no parking in front of the door", which is typical for a dense city centre. The area is home to many young adults and singles, with 72% of households being one-person households and 43% of residents aged 25 to 45. It's a vibrant, urban setting where most daily needs are met on foot.
Life on the street
Daily life here is remarkably convenient. The Albert Heijn is just around the corner, so picking up bread or groceries takes minutes. A Coop is a couple of streets away, and two more supermarkets, another Albert Heijn and a SPAR, are within a five-minute walk. For families, there are schools within reach: De Singel SO is a ten-minute walk, and the Onze Lieve Vrouwelyceum is about the same distance. The train station is a ten-minute walk, and the municipality of Breda offers all the amenities of a provincial capital.

Frequently asked questions
About Halstraat 21, Breda
Is €2,695 a fair rent for this apartment?
The rent is 51% above the neighbourhood average of €1,782, but this apartment is also 43% larger than the average rental in the area (149 m² versus 104 m²). The price per square metre works out to about €18.09, which is below the neighbourhood average of €20.58 per m². So while the total rent is high, the space you get for it is comparatively good value.
What is the energy label and what does it mean?
The energy label is C. This is an official registration from EP-Online, and it indicates the home's energy performance on a scale from A to G.
