About Burgemeester Mathonstraat 2, Bergen Op Zoom
The asking price is €465,000. The WOZ value, as of 1 January 2025, is €470,000, so the asking price is 1% below the WOZ value. This means the asking price is slightly lower than the municipal valuation, which is often seen as an indicator of market value. However, the actual market value can differ, and the final sale price depends on the buyer and seller.
According to the agent, the house has six rooms, including four bedrooms and two bathrooms, spread over three floors. The living area is listed as 148 m² by the agent, while the BAG registration records 163 m². There is also a roof terrace. The property is freehold, meaning you own the land and the building.
The energy label is F, which is one of the least efficient labels. This means you can expect relatively high energy costs for heating and electricity. The agent does mention that the home has roof insulation, double glazing and wall insulation, which may help, but the label still reflects the overall energy performance. It's worth considering potential energy bills when budgeting.
The foundation risk indication for this address is medium, based on area-level data. This is because the house was built in 1926, before 1970, and the soil type is sand. This is an indication for the area, not a specific inspection of this home. It's a factor to be aware of, but it doesn't mean there are actual foundation problems.
The noise level from road traffic is 51 dB Lden, which is above the Dutch noise norm. Noise from rail traffic is 32 dB Lden, and from air traffic 30 dB Lden, both below the norm. These are area-level indications based on public data, not measurements at the property itself. If you're sensitive to noise, you might want to consider this.
There are several supermarkets within walking distance. The Ekoplaza is about 310 metres away, the Jumbo about 376 metres, and the Albert Heijn about 947 metres. There's also an Aldi at about 969 metres. So you have a good choice for your daily groceries, all within a short walk or bike ride.
There are several schools nearby. MollerJuvenaat, a secondary school, is about 299 metres away. Montessori Kindcentrum, a primary school, is about 433 metres away, and RK Basisschool Sancta Maria is about 472 metres. So both primary and secondary education are within easy reach.
The nearest train station is Bergen op Zoom, which is about 333 metres away, or a ten-minute walk. There are also bus stops nearby, with the closest at Asselbergsstraat, about 126 metres away, serving lines 102, 107, 108, 161, 209, 360, 361 and 603. So public transport is very accessible.

How residents experience their neighbourhood
I 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 district
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.

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.
