De Hofstad, Den Bosch
NeighbourhoodThis apartment on Oostwal sits right in the historic centre of Den Bosch, where the streets buzz with life. At 62 m² it's compact, but the location is hard to beat. The asking price of €399,000 is 41% below the neighbourhood average of €674,000, which is keen given the smaller floor area. For context, apartments in Den Bosch vary widely in size and price.
De Hofstad is the historic core of Den Bosch, with a very high address density (4,436 addresses per km²) and a lively, urban feel. The population is young: most residents are between 25 and 45, and many live alone (440 single-person households). There are few families with children (100), so the area is popular with professionals and students. No resident reviews are available for this neighbourhood, so the picture comes from statistics. The De Hofstad neighbourhood is one of the most central in the city.
Daily errands are easy: a Coop supermarket is just around the corner, and several other supermarkets like Jumbo and Albert Heijn are a ten-minute walk away. For primary schools, KC Het IJzeren Kind is about 1.8 km away, and other options are a bit further out. The city centre's restaurants and cafés are on your doorstep, and a park or garden is just a couple of streets away. The municipality of Den Bosch offers a rich cultural scene and good amenities.

The asking price of €399,000 is 41% below the average asking price in De Hofstad (€674,000), but the apartment is also much smaller than average (62 m² vs 166 m²). The price per m² works out at about €6,435, which is above the neighbourhood average of €5,648 per m². So while the total price is low, you're paying a premium for the compact size and central location.

Auto-translated to English by AIBeautiful, safe. Very close to the Maasdijk and the floodplains. Sufficient facilities in the village. Within 20 minutes by bike to the centre of Den Bosch. Cosy village where a lot is organised. Various sports clubs. Football, tennis, badminton, billiards, etc.
Auto-translated to English by AINice mix of people, with a few exceptions who don't want to and can't adapt and don't have the qualities for it either.
Auto-translated to English by AIBismallah Frederik'sniffo here, have been to several villages, but this really takes the cake. astaghfirullah what is this street man. 's Hertogsbos is a neighbourhood where people spontaneously jump in front of trains, but that sucks because then my train gets delayed inshallah :( I hate my kind lowkey #euthanisealldeppressivepeople Harold van Duijn is my bitch. I fuck him so hard he becomes delusional and says den bosch is beautiful Alhamdoelillah Ffrederik sniffo
Auto-translated to English by AINothing else is worth it. As soon as I step outside the neighbourhood I feel disgusted. Nicest stadium and least filthy community centre in the Netherlands. Would also have a nice view of IJzeren Vrouw if that bloody road hadn't split the bloody park in two, what a bloody mess, bloody 60s... Furthermore, glad I'm from the north and not the south. Those lazy bastards in Graafsebuurt south wanted to keep slavery, what a bunch of empathy-less scum. #AllMokrosMustAlsoWork
Auto-translated to English by AIIt used to be fun, but not anymore. Lots of junkies in the neighbourhood, a bit unsafe and just time for something new, so I'm glad the flats are being demolished and new apartment complexes are coming.
Auto-translated to English by AIIt is a great neighbourhood to live in
Auto-translated to English by AII've lived there since 2017 and I enjoy living there, no problems
