The City neighbourhood
City is the historic core of Breda, with a very high density of addresses and a young, dynamic population. One resident sums it up: "Best place", with the plus point being everything in the neighbourhood, though parking in front of the door is a downside. The area is packed with restaurants, bars and shops, and the park is just a couple of streets away. It's a vibrant, urban setting where most homes are apartments and many residents live alone.

Life on the street
Your daily routine here is wonderfully convenient. The Albert Heijn is on your doorstep for groceries, and the Coop is just around the corner. For school runs, the Onze Lieve Vrouwelyceum secondary school is a five-minute walk, and the Stedelijk Gymnasium Breda is about a ten-minute walk. The train station is a ten-minute walk away, making it easy to get out of town. The municipality Breda offers all the amenities you'd expect from a city centre.

Frequently asked questions
About Oude Vest 24, Breda
Was €895,000 a fair price for this apartment?
The asking price was 46% above the average asking price in the City neighbourhood (€614,262). However, this apartment was also 64% larger than the neighbourhood average of 122 m², so the price per square metre was more in line with the market. Given the size and central location, the price was on the high side but reflected the unique character of the property.
What is the energy label and what does it mean?
The energy label is D. In the City neighbourhood, 40% of homes have label A+ and 25% have label A, so this apartment is less efficient than much of the local stock.
How is the neighbourhood for daily life?
The City neighbourhood is very lively, with a high density of shops, restaurants and services. The Albert Heijn is just 100 metres away, and there are several other supermarkets within a few minutes' walk. Schools and the train station are within a ten-minute walk. One resident says it's the "Best place" because everything is nearby, though parking can be a challenge.
What is the public transport like?
The train station is 1.3 km away, about a ten-minute walk. The neighbourhood is very central, so many destinations are within walking distance.
How many apartments were for sale in the neighbourhood?
There were at the time 21 apartments for sale in the City neighbourhood, with prices ranging from €275,000 to €1,750,000. The median price was €529,000, so this apartment was well above that, but it was also one of the largest available.
What is the crime rate like?
The total number of recorded crimes in the neighbourhood is 1,096. This is a city centre area with a high population density, so some level of activity is expected. The resident review mentions no specific safety concerns, only parking as a downside.
