Schoolstraat 1E
Centrum, Bergen op Zoom
NeighbourhoodA modern, energy-efficient apartment in the heart of Bergen op Zoom
This apartment on Schoolstraat sits right in the lively centre of Bergen op Zoom, with the buzz of the city on your doorstep. Built in 2012 and carrying an A++ energy label, it is exceptionally efficient, so heating costs will be low. At 58 m² it is compact, but the price of €285,000 is 25% below the neighbourhood average asking price of €381,381, making it a keen buy compared to other apartments in Bergen op Zoom.
Centrum: a lively, mixed neighbourhood
The neighbourhood Centrum is densely populated with 4,040 residents, mostly singles (1,355 one-person households) and few families with children (380). It is a very urban area (address density 3,214 per km²). Reviews are mixed: one resident calls it "Nice and cosy neighbourhood" and notes "Friendly people live in the neighbourhood", while another says "Very many so-called confused people in the neighbourhood under the influence of something. I think they should look at how to keep these kinds of people out of the neighbourhood as much as possible." A third review mentions "There are also plenty of activities in the city." So it is a lively, central spot with both charm and some downsides.
Daily life on Schoolstraat
For groceries, Jumbo is just around the corner, and Ekoplaza is a couple of streets away. For fresh bread or a quick shop, you are set. Schools are close: RK Basisschool Sancta Maria is on your doorstep, and Basisschool De Krabbenkooi is a five-minute walk. The municipality Bergen op Zoom offers all city amenities within easy reach.

Very many so-called confused people in the neighbourhood under the influence of something. I think they should look at how to keep these kinds of people out of the neighbourhood as much as possible.

Auto-translated to English by AIThe trees on Rijtuigweg have been renewed and flower beds have been added. Also bicycle racks. There are primary and secondary schools in the neighbourhood. You can often experience activities in the centre. Children's games and Carnival, theatre and music. The CKB is nearby. Music, painting lessons.
Auto-translated to English by AII have lived here for 45 years now, truly a neighbourhood where social control is number one. People look out for each other, care for each other, have respect for each other. And very importantly, we take care of our elderly together so they can continue living in our neighbourhood for a long time. Together we make our neighbourhood as cosy as possible.

Auto-translated to English by AINice little square with a playground, but often nuisance from teenagers in the evening.
Auto-translated to English by AII really enjoy living here, I've only been living here for a short while. But strangely enough, I don't really feel very safe or anything. Maybe because I've been living here for 3 weeks and my license plates were already stolen.. oh well. The accessibility is okay but there are a lot of one-way streets which is a bit annoying because you have to take a detour. You have to pay for parking almost everywhere, so that's a bit of a downside. On the other hand, there are many shops and facilities within easy reach. And there are nice parks and bits of nature. There are many different cultures in one city.

How residents experience their municipality
Because too many nationalities live together who don't want to adapt to the Dutch, it's a neighbourhood with many problems
Auto-translated to English by AIGood social people, always a chat if you live with dogs, very helpful if needed. The people are very approachable. Many dog lovers in the neighbourhood, met many nice people, you don't find this anymore in the big city. I'm very happy and grateful that we get to live here.

Auto-translated to English by AIIt could be even better if outsiders took their own rubbish with them and didn't leave it behind in our bushes. Our law enforcement officers (police / community wardens) take no action and just drive on by. Then we're left with the mess.
