I myself quite like living here
Auto-translated to English by AIThe worst place I have ever been in my life was yesterday when a group of young men beat him up and smashed my car mirrors while people watched and were afraid to intervene. Eventually someone says I can't call the police and that they will fix the car for you. I wish I could leave this neighbourhood.,,,

About Populierstraat 35, Breda
The asking price of €350,000 is slightly below the neighbourhood median of €387,000, but above the average price per m² of €4,627 when applied to 94 m² (which would be €435,000). Given the E energy label and the pre-war construction, the price is in line with the market for a property of this size in Tuinzigt.
The energy label is E, which means the home is not very energy-efficient. In the neighbourhood, only 21.6% of homes have a label D or lower, so this apartment is on the less efficient side. You can expect higher heating costs compared to a modern home, but the exact amount depends on usage.
Resident reviews are mixed. One review describes a violent incident, while another says they like living there. The neighbourhood has 509 total crimes reported, which is relatively high for a district of this size. It is worth visiting the street at different times to get a feel for the area.
There are several schools within walking distance. Kbs De Boomgaard (primary) and Orion Lyceum (secondary) are both about 500 m away. Markenhage secondary school is about 570 m, and Kbs De Weerijs is 577 m. So children can walk or cycle to school easily.
The train station is 2.1 km from the apartment. That is about a 25-minute walk or a short bike ride.
Jumbo is just 217 m away, so you can do your daily shopping on foot. Ekoplaza is 693 m, and another Jumbo is 931 m. Albert Heijn is 982 m. So there are plenty of options within a ten-minute walk.
The neighbourhood has a mix of households: about 905 households with children and 965 without. There are many singles (2,735). Schools and a park are nearby, so it can work for families, but the reviews suggest some safety concerns. It depends on your priorities.
