Great!! Everyone knows each other. (except the Dutch residents who have recently moved in) If these people also make an effort to get to know the Moluccan residents, it will only get better. After the renovation, quite a few owner-occupied houses with Dutch residents have been added. If both parties make some effort to adapt, we will become a beautiful residential area.

About Mgr. Leijtenstraat 30, Breda
The asking price of €335,000 is 33% below the average asking price in Brabantpark (€500,422) and also below the median of €409,500. However, the flat is smaller than average (74 m² vs 110 m²) and has an energy label G, which means higher energy costs. Compared to similar properties in the neighbourhood, the price per m² works out at about €4,527, which is close to the neighbourhood average of €4,567 per m².
Energy label G is the lowest rating, indicating poor insulation and high energy consumption. You can expect significantly higher heating and electricity costs compared to a home with a better label. In Brabantpark, only about 7.7% of homes have label A or better, while 23.1% are rated D or lower. It's worth factoring in potential renovation costs for insulation or heating upgrades.
