The Schorsmolen neighbourhood
Schorsmolen is a mixed area, and the three resident reviews reflect that. One resident calls it a "junkenhol", describing drug addicts and homeless people hanging around and a front door that looks like a rubbish dump. Another says the neighbourhood is "safe and close to all shops", though they mention being bothered by bicycles during festivals. A third, who has lived here for six years, says they have "never had any unpleasant experiences". Based on three reviews, the picture is split. The area is densely populated, with many single-person households and few families with children. The Schorsmolen neighbourhood is a busy, urban pocket of the city.
Life on the street
Daily errands are easy from here. The Albert Heijn is just around the corner, and an Ekoplaza is a couple of streets away. For schools, De Singel SO is on your doorstep, and Kbs De Weerijs is a five-minute walk. The train station is about a ten-minute walk, which helps if you commute. The municipality of Breda keeps the wider area well connected, with plenty of shops and services within reach.
