A spacious apartment on the Oude Vest
This 131 m² apartment sits right in the heart of Breda, on one of the city's most historic streets. The building dates from 1926 and had an E energy label, so heating costs were something to budget for. At €400,000, the asking price was 35% below the neighbourhood average of €614,262, which made it a keen entry into the City area. For context, you can compare it with other apartments in Breda. This home has not been online since 1 September 2026.
The City neighbourhood
City is the compact, lively centre of Breda, with 2,730 residents packed into a very urban setting (address density 4,363 per km²). Most households are single-person (1,445), and the average household size is just 1.3. One resident sums it up: "Best place, plus point everything in the neighbourhood and downside no parking in front of the door." That single review gives an 8.38 out of 10. The neighbourhood City is all about being in the thick of it.
Life on the street
Daily shopping is easy: Albert Heijn is just around the corner, and Coop and SPAR are a couple of streets away. For school runs, the Onze Lieve Vrouwelyceum (secondary) is a five-minute walk, and the Stedelijk Gymnasium Breda is about ten minutes on foot. The municipality Breda keeps the centre well served with restaurants, a library and a park all within walking distance.

Frequently asked questions
About Oude Vest 28A, Breda
Was €400,000 a fair price for this apartment?
The asking price of €400,000 was 35% below the average asking price in City (€614,262) and also below the median of €529,000. Given the 131 m² floor area, that worked out at about €3,053 per m², while the neighbourhood average was €5,076 per m². So it was priced keenly, though the E energy label meant higher running costs than a better-rated home.
What is the energy label and what does it mean?
The apartment has energy label E. In the City neighbourhood, 40% of homes for sale had label A+ and 25% had label A, so this home was less efficient than most of the current stock.
How is the neighbourhood for daily life?
City is the centre of Breda, so everything is on your doorstep. The nearest supermarket (Albert Heijn) is 102 m away, and there are several others within a few minutes' walk. Restaurants are literally at your door (0.0 km), and a park is 400 m away. The main downside, as one resident notes, is limited parking right in front of the door.
What schools are nearby?
Within a ten-minute walk you have the Onze Lieve Vrouwelyceum (secondary, 650 m) and the Stedelijk Gymnasium Breda (secondary, 887 m). For primary education, the nearest is Nutsbasisschool Boeimeer at 934 m. There are also special education options like De Singel SO at 746 m.
How far is the train station?
Breda's train station is 1.3 km from the apartment, which is about a 15-minute walk or a short cycle.
Is parking available?
The listing did not mention a parking spot, and the resident review noted that parking in front of the door was limited. City is a very dense urban area, so you would likely need to rely on public parking garages or street parking with permits.
