At €419,000, the asking price is 38% below the neighbourhood average of €671,609, which makes it a keen option compared to other apartments in Den Bosch.
Zuid: a green, quiet neighbourhood with a mixed feel
Zuid is a spacious, green neighbourhood with a mix of housing types and a slightly older population. Based on two reviews, residents appreciate the peace and the proximity of amenities. One resident says: "It has always been very pleasant here with many nice people, cats and peace. And everything is nearby." Another calls it "nice, cosy, beautiful." The neighbourhood has a high proportion of older residents (37% are 65+) and many single-person households. It's a quiet area where you can hear the distant motorway hum, but that's described as a background noise that's not bothersome. For more context, see the Zuid neighbourhood.

Experiences from Zuid
How residents experience their neighbourhood
nice, cosy, beautiful
Auto-translated to English by AIIt has always been very pleasant here with many nice people, cats and peace. And everything is nearby. A downside is that the motorway is close by so you always hear cars in the distance, but that is actually a nice background noise so it's not so bad.

You see groups forming, want power, Hambaken has already destroyed you, rest follows, regards Lammert
Auto-translated to English by AIBeautiful, safe. Very close to the Maasdijk and the floodplains. Sufficient facilities in the village. Within 20 minutes by bike to the centre of Den Bosch. Cosy village where a lot is organised. Various sports clubs. Football, tennis, badminton, billiards, etc.
Auto-translated to English by AINice mix of people, with a few exceptions who don't want to and can't adapt and don't have the qualities for it either.
Auto-translated to English by AIBismallah Frederik'sniffo here, have been to several villages, but this really takes the cake. astaghfirullah what is this street man. 's Hertogsbos is a neighbourhood where people spontaneously jump in front of trains, but that sucks because then my train gets delayed inshallah :( I hate my kind lowkey #euthanisealldeppressivepeople Harold van Duijn is my bitch. I fuck him so hard he becomes delusional and says den bosch is beautiful Alhamdoelillah Ffrederik sniffo
Auto-translated to English by AINothing else is worth it. As soon as I step outside the neighbourhood I feel disgusted. Nicest stadium and least filthy community centre in the Netherlands. Would also have a nice view of IJzeren Vrouw if that bloody road hadn't split the bloody park in two, what a bloody mess, bloody 60s... Furthermore, glad I'm from the north and not the south. Those lazy bastards in Graafsebuurt south wanted to keep slavery, what a bunch of empathy-less scum. #AllMokrosMustAlsoWork
Auto-translated to English by AIIt used to be fun, but not anymore. Lots of junkies in the neighbourhood, a bit unsafe and just time for something new, so I'm glad the flats are being demolished and new apartment complexes are coming.
Auto-translated to English by AIIt is a great neighbourhood to live in
Auto-translated to English by AII've lived there since 2017 and I enjoy living there, no problems
