A compact flat in the heart of Breda
This two-room apartment on Nijverheidssingel sits right in the thick of things. At 47 m² it was compact, but the last known price of €275,000 was 22% below the neighbourhood average of €354,000, a keen entry point for a buyer who wanted to live centrally. For context, the average apartments in Breda tended to be larger, so this one was priced accordingly. This home has not been online since 3 August 2026.
Schorsmolen: a mixed bag according to residents
The neighbourhood Schorsmolen is densely urban, over 4,000 addresses per km², and home to mostly single-person households. Based on three reviews, opinions vary. One resident calls it a "junkenhol" and says: "Lots of drug addicts and homeless people hanging around here. The front door looks like a rubbish dump, nobody cleans it up, the council does nothing about it." Another counters: "My neighbourhood is safe and close to all shops, sometimes I get bothered by bicycles during a festival or special events, but overall it's fine to live here." A third, who has lived here six years, says: "I have never had any unpleasant experiences."
Daily life on the street
For groceries, an Albert Heijn is just around the corner, and an Aldi is a couple of streets away. There's a special school (De Singel SO) on your doorstep, and primary school Kbs De Weerijs is a five-minute walk. The municipality Breda has plenty of restaurants and a park within walking distance, and the train station is a ten-minute walk.
