With 91 m² of living space, it is a comfortable size for a family or a couple.

Overakker is a quiet neighbourhood with friendly residents, according to the two reviews on. One resident, who has lived here for twelve years, notes that the area has changed from mostly older residents to more young people, and that it is very suitable for pets because of two large parks and enough grass squares. The same resident mentions a large but safe street with good connections to motorways, and a street that connects village life with city life. The neighbourhood has a mix of ages, with a notable share of residents over 65, and many households without children. This is the Overakker neighbourhood in a nutshell.
For daily shopping, you have an Albert Heijn just around the corner, and an Aldi and a Lidl a couple of streets away. For school runs, there are several options within a short walk: Katholieke Basisschool Laurentius is about 400 metres away, and Curio de rotonde for secondary education is a similar distance. The area is well served by amenities, with a park or green space just around the corner and a GP practice a ten-minute walk away. The municipality of Breda provides the wider context, with all its facilities and connections.

The energy label is E. This is an official registration, and it indicates the energy performance of the home as recorded in the national database. A label E is not the most efficient, so you can expect moderate energy costs. The label does not say anything about the condition of the building itself.
The nearest train station is 4.3 km away. This is a reasonable distance for occasional trips, but you would likely rely on other transport for daily commuting. The neighbourhood has good road connections, as mentioned by a resident.

How residents experience their neighbourhood
I've been living in the neighbourhood for about twelve years now and have experienced many changes. In the early years when I came to live here, it was mainly older people living here. This has since changed, and more and more young people are coming. The neighbourhood is very suitable for pets because of two large parks and enough grass squares. The area has a large but safe street that has good connections to motorways. There is also a street that connects village life (Bavel) with city life (Centre).

I haven't been living here very long, about six months I think, but I immediately felt at home. The Mastbos is literally around the corner for a lovely walk, as is the Ginniken square for nice restaurants and cafés. The Albert Heijn is a 5-minute bike ride or a 15-minute walk. The station is a 15-20 minute bike ride. There are many large, beautiful houses to admire here, the atmosphere feels very village-like, and it's all very lovely. It also feels safe.

Auto-translated to English by AIIn het Ginneken there is always something to do. From supermarket to terrace to the forest, you have everything in your area when you live here. It is a beautiful and safe neighbourhood to live in and I feel comfortable and at home here. Many amenities nearby and a 10-minute bike ride from the centre of Breda.

How residents experience their municipality
Very dangerous my neighbourhood. I work as a volunteer for the last 32 years, but the situation is very very dangerous. Police don't listen. There is no gathering of the neighbourhood in the last two years. I always clean my street. Geeren Zuid Park. I have worked with Werk aan de wijk. I made art workshops. Municipality Breda didn't give 400 euros for material costs, only gave 200, so I asked my family for 1000 US dollars so I could buy materials. I'm sorry, but senior people get no respect here in Breda. (I was racially abused by a security guard in ALDI supermarket as I was giving my trolley to an old lady.) It hurts a lot as I worked for United Nations Goodwill Ambassadors for the last 50 long years, UNICEF, UNESCO, SAVE THE CHILDREN, NCIV Mr Pronk, Voices Of The Earth, for enlightenment in the visions of tomorrow. Pass the torch on to others. Hold on to the memories of yesterday. Even a small memory goes a long, long way and fulfils its purpose in eternity. Quote by M. Bugi.

Auto-translated to English by AISafety is good. Hygiene is good, slightly less in some places because there is a McDonald's where some people don't clean up their rubbish. I don't have any trouble with this, and occasionally someone from McDonald's comes to clean it up. So I gave it a passing grade. Housing is also good. Everything is spacious. Accessibility for cars and cyclists is good. There is also a station reasonably close by. There is no school in the neighbourhood, so no education. You have to cycle a bit for that. About the community: it's fine. There is a neighbourhood party every year, but nothing more. I don't feel the need for that either. The neighbourhood is also reasonably green because the houses are spaced out. Many people have greenery in their own gardens. Just as there is no school, there are also no facilities. You have to cycle a bit for that again. Conclusion: I live well here. The neighbourhood is especially suitable for people who want to live spaciously and quietly. For elderly people who have difficulty walking, this neighbourhood is not suitable.
Auto-translated to English by AIGreat!! Everyone knows each other. (except the Dutch residents who have recently moved in) If these people also make an effort to get to know the Moluccan residents, it will only get better. After the renovation, quite a few owner-occupied houses with Dutch residents have been added. If both parties make some effort to adapt, we will become a beautiful residential area.

Auto-translated to English by AIBeautiful, we help each other with a joint barbecue and a neighbourhood chat. It's great here. A chat is part of it every now and then.
Auto-translated to English by AII myself quite like living here
