Centrum, Bergen op Zoom
NeighbourhoodThis 75 m² apartment on Van der Rijtstraat sits right in the lively centre of Bergen op Zoom. With an A+ energy label, it's one of the most efficient homes you'll find in a historic city centre. The asking price of €270,000 is notably keen, 29% below the neighbourhood average of €381,381, partly because the floor area is 39% smaller than the typical home in the area. For context, apartments in Bergen op Zoom vary widely in size and price.
The neighbourhood Centrum is densely built and very urban, with over 3,200 addresses per km².

How residents experience their neighbourhood
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.
