Geeren-zuid, Breda
NeighbourhoodThis is a rare find: a detached house on a plot of 1200 m², right in the city of Breda. Built in 2012 and with an A energy label, it offers modern comfort with plenty of space. The asking price of €1,395,000 is on the high side, it's the most expensive of the four homes currently for sale in the neighbourhood and sits 96% above the average asking price of €711,000. For context, that's partly because this home is 61% larger than the local average. If you're looking at detached houses in Breda, this one stands out for its size and efficiency.
The neighbourhood Geeren-zuid is densely urban (over 2700 addresses per km²) and home to about 3750 people. It's a mix of families and singles, with a relatively young population, the largest age group is 25 to 45. Based on two reviews, opinions are divided. One resident says: 'Very dangerous my neighbourhood. Police don't listen. There is no gathering of the neighbourhood in the last two years.' Another describes it as: 'It can be cosy here but a lot of arguments/problems can arise. When young people want to do something here in Geeren Zuid, they usually go to the shopping centre, which only results in more loitering youths.' So while the area has its challenges, it's also a place where people have invested time and energy.
For everyday errands, you have several supermarkets a couple of streets away: Albert Heijn and Jumbo are both just over a kilometre from the door. Primary schools are even closer, Kbs De Wegwijzer is just around the corner, and Basisschool het Noorderlicht is a ten-minute walk. For secondary education, Curio praktijkschool Breda is about 700 m away. The municipality Breda provides all the usual city amenities, with a GP surgery and a park both within a few minutes' walk.
At the time of writing, the home is listed through several channels, including Van der Sande Makelaars. It's available on multiple platforms, so you can compare listings easily.

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 AII grew up here and have lived in Breda since birth. I do think the neighbourhood could use a new facility. When young people want to do something here in Geeren Zuid, they usually go to the shopping centre, which only results in more loitering youths.

About Arduinstraat 19A, Breda
The asking price is 96% above the average asking price in Geeren-zuid (€711,000) and is the highest of the four homes currently for sale. However, this is a detached house with 190 m² of living space and a 1200 m² plot, built in 2012 with an A energy label, features that are rare in the neighbourhood. The average price per m² in the area is €5,669, so the price reflects the size and quality.
With 190 m² of living space, this home is 61% larger than the average home in Geeren-zuid (118 m²). The plot of 1200 m² is also exceptionally large for the area. Most homes in the neighbourhood are terraced or semi-detached, so a detached house on this scale is unusual.
The home has an energy label A, which is very efficient. In Geeren-zuid, 40% of homes have label A, so this is in line with the better-performing properties. You can expect relatively low energy costs compared to older homes with lower labels.
The nearest train station is 2.9 km away, which is about a 35-minute walk or a short bike ride. Breda's central station offers connections to major cities.
Based on two resident reviews, opinions vary. One reviewer describes the area as 'very dangerous' and mentions issues with police response. Another says it can be 'cosy' but notes problems with loitering youths. The total number of crimes recorded in the neighbourhood is 126, but without context it's hard to compare.
Yes, there are several primary and secondary schools within walking distance. Kbs De Wegwijzer (primary) is 489 m away, and Curio praktijkschool Breda (secondary) is 701 m away. Other options include Basisschool het Noorderlicht and Openbare Basisschool De Springplank, both under a kilometre.
Currently, there are only four homes for sale in Geeren-zuid, and this is the only detached house among them. It's also the most expensive. The limited supply means similar properties rarely come onto the market.
