A modern apartment in the heart of Breda
This apartment on Johanna Van Polanentoren 3 sits in the Station neighbourhood, right in the middle of Breda's energy. Built in 2016, it's a contemporary home with an A energy label, so it's very efficient to run. The asking rent of €1,785 is about 15% above the neighbourhood average of €1,548, which puts it on the high side for the area. For context, that's in line with what you'd expect for a newer, larger apartment when you look at apartments in Breda.
The Station neighbourhood
The Station neighbourhood is a lively, urban pocket of Breda with a real mix of people. Most households are singles, making up two-thirds of the area, and the largest age group is 25 to 45. It's a dense, bustling part of town with plenty going on. Based on one review, a resident gives the area a score of 8 out of 10, though they do mention: "Not enough bicycle parking. Often theft, 6 bikes stolen within a year. Often there is (bulky) waste around the containers. Lots of noise at night, especially during holidays and festivals. The house shakes when a train passes by. 3 floors and no lift." It's an honest picture of city living, with the train station close by and the centre within easy reach.
Life on the street
Daily errands are easy from here. A SPAR supermarket is just around the corner, with an AH to go even closer for quick stops, and an Aldi a short walk away. For school runs, Kbs De Spoorzoeker is a five-minute walk, and Stedelijk Gymnasium Breda for secondary education is about ten minutes on foot. The train station is a ten-minute walk, and there's a park within easy reach for a breather. It's a practical, well-connected spot for everyday life in the municipality of Breda.

Frequently asked questions
About Johanna Van Polanentoren 3, Breda
Is €1,785 a fair rent for this apartment?
The rent is about 15% above the neighbourhood average of €1,548. With 97 m² of space and a 2016 build year, it's a newer, larger apartment than much of what's available in the area, where the average rental is 91 m². The price reflects that, so it sits on the higher end of the local market.
What is the energy label and what does it mean?
The energy label is A, which is the most efficient category. That means the home is very energy-efficient, so you can expect relatively low heating and electricity costs compared to homes with lower labels. It's an official registration, so the rating is verified.
How close is the nearest supermarket?
There's a SPAR supermarket just 98 metres away, so it's on your doorstep for daily shopping. An AH to go is 173 metres away for quick bites, and an Aldi is 488 metres off. You won't have to go far for groceries.
What are the schools like nearby?
Kbs De Spoorzoeker primary school is 468 metres away, and Rudolf Steiner School is 605 metres. For secondary education, Stedelijk Gymnasium Breda is 796 metres off. All are within a comfortable walking distance, making school runs straightforward.
How far is the train station?
The train station is 800 metres from the apartment, which is about a ten-minute walk. That makes commuting by rail quite convenient, especially given the neighbourhood's central position in Breda.
What is the neighbourhood like to live in?
It's a very urban area with a high density of addresses, and most residents live alone.

It's lively and central, but not the quietest spot.
