Aawijk noord, Den Bosch
NeighbourhoodThis apartment on Hesselsstraat sits in the heart of 's-Hertogenbosch, where the city hums just outside your door. At 74 m² and built in 1962, it's a solid mid-century home with an energy label B, efficient enough to keep bills in check. The asking price of €339,000 is in line with the market, given that similar homes in the area recently sold for around €326,000. For context, apartments in Den Bosch tend to vary widely, but this one feels fairly priced.
This is a dense, urban neighbourhood, 2,510 addresses per km², but it's not all concrete. A park is just a couple of streets away, and the mix of residents is broad: lots of singles, families with kids, and older folks too. The neighbourhood Aawijk noord is mostly owner-occupied homes, with 69% single-family houses, so you're among neighbours who take pride in the area. No reviews from residents are available, but the low crime figures (48 incidents) suggest it's a peaceful spot.
Your morning routine is sorted: Albert Heijn is just around the corner for bread and basics, and Jumbo is a five-minute walk away. For school runs, KC Het IJzeren Kind is a couple of streets away, a primary school with over 570 pupils. The municipality Den Bosch keeps the city centre within easy reach, but here on Hesselsstraat you're far enough from the bustle to enjoy some quiet.

About Hesselsstraat 87, 'S-Hertogenbosch
Yes, it seems fair. In the neighbourhood, five apartments sold recently at an average of €326,000, and this one is slightly above that. But with 74 m² and a B energy label, the price per square metre is reasonable for 's-Hertogenbosch.
Aawijk noord is a dense, urban area with a mix of singles, families, and older residents. It's very central, a park is a couple of streets away, and the city centre is within walking distance. Crime is low, and most homes are owner-occupied.
The train station is 1.8 km away, about a twenty-minute walk or a short bike ride. That puts Amsterdam, Utrecht, and Eindhoven within easy reach.
Albert Heijn is just around the corner (469 m), and Jumbo is a five-minute walk (571 m). For a bigger shop, there's a Lidl at 736 m. Daily groceries are very convenient.
It could work for a small family. The neighbourhood has many families with children, and there's a primary school (KC Het IJzeren Kind) just a couple of streets away. But at 74 m², space might be tight for a larger family.
Label B means the home is well-insulated and energy-efficient, so heating costs should be moderate. It's a solid step above older homes with labels C or D, and you won't face the high bills of a G-label property.
