Binnenstad centrum, Den Bosch
NeighbourhoodThis apartment on Pastoor de Kroonstraat sits right in the thick of things, the Binnenstad centrum buzzes with life, and you're never far from a café or shop. At 68 m² it's compact but efficient, built in 1978 and with an E energy label, so heating costs are something to factor in. The asking price of €309,000 is notably lower than the neighbourhood average, partly because of the size and label, it's a realistic entry point into a sought-after city centre. For context, apartments in Den Bosch vary widely, but this one is priced to reflect its specs.

About Pastoor de Kroonstraat 114, 'S-Hertogenbosch
The asking price is 57% below the neighbourhood average of €718,369, but that average is skewed by larger, more expensive homes. The median price in Binnenstad centrum is €488,500, so this apartment is still well under that. Given its 68 m² floor area and E energy label, the price is in line with what you'd expect for a compact, older apartment in a prime city-centre location.
An E label indicates the home is not very energy-efficient, so you can expect higher heating and electricity bills compared to a more modern property. In this neighbourhood, only about 20.8% of homes have a label D or lower, so this apartment is on the less efficient end. It's worth budgeting for higher monthly energy costs.
Binnenstad centrum is extremely central, you have supermarkets like Albert Heijn and Jumbo within a few minutes' walk, and plenty of restaurants and cafés on your doorstep. The train station is a ten-minute walk away. It's a very urban area with lots of young people and singles, so it's lively but can be noisy. Crime rates are higher than average, which is typical for a city centre.
The neighbourhood has a high proportion of one-person households (around 2,885 out of 4,615 households) and relatively few families with children. The largest age group is 25 to 45 years old. So it's popular with young professionals, students, and couples who want to be in the heart of the city.
At 68 m², this apartment is 43% smaller than the neighbourhood average of 119 m². That's a significant difference, so you're getting a compact home. The price per square metre works out to about €4,544, which is below the neighbourhood average of €6,234 per m², reflecting the smaller size and lower energy label.
The nearest park or public garden is about 0.8 km away, which is roughly a ten-minute walk. It's not on your doorstep, but you can reach green space without too much effort. The city centre itself is dense and built-up, so you'll need to head out a bit for a proper park.
