It's a decent neighbourhood overall, but around the shops it can sometimes be unsafe. There are sometimes characters who find girls a bit too interesting.

About Wattstraat 16, Breda
At €320,000, this is the cheapest home currently for sale in Doornbos-Linie and 33% below the neighbourhood's average asking price of €480,972. However, the flat is also smaller than average at 56 m², so the price per square metre is in line with the local market. It's a keen entry point for a compact flat in a central neighbourhood.
The energy label is D, which is average for a flat of this age (built in 1955). In the neighbourhood, about 26% of homes have a label D or lower, while 35% have A or better. A D label means moderate energy efficiency, so heating costs will be noticeable but not extreme.
One resident rates the neighbourhood 6.13 out of 10 and mentions that around the shops it can sometimes feel unsafe, with some unwanted attention towards women.
