City, Breda
NeighbourhoodThis detached house on Catharinastraat in Breda is a rare find: a 19th-century home with an A+ energy label, combining character with modern efficiency. With 307 m² of living space and a 270 m² plot, it is exceptionally spacious for the city centre. The asking price of €1,495,000 is well above the neighbourhood average of €614,262, reflecting the home's size and quality, it is on the high side, but for a property of this calibre, that is to be expected. For context, detached houses in Breda are scarce, which adds to its uniqueness.
The City neighbourhood is the historic heart of Breda, with a very high density of addresses (4,363 per km²) and a lively, urban feel. It is home to around 2,730 people, mostly singles (1,445 one-person households) and young adults aged 25 to 45. Families with children are few (95 households), so the area has a vibrant, city-centre energy. One resident sums it up: "Plus point everything in the neighbourhood and downside no parking in front of the door." That captures the trade-off: you are steps away from shops, restaurants and culture, but parking is at a premium. The neighbourhood City is a place where convenience and bustle go hand in hand.
Your daily routine here is wonderfully compact. For groceries, you have a SPAR just around the corner and an Albert Heijn a couple of streets away. For fresh bread or a quick bite, the city centre is literally on your doorstep. Schools are within easy reach: the Stedelijk Gymnasium Breda is a ten-minute walk, and primary school Kbs St. Joseph is about the same distance. The municipality Breda offers a rich mix of amenities, from museums to parks, all within walking distance.

About Catharinastraat 21F, Breda
The asking price is 143% above the neighbourhood average of €614,262, but this home is exceptional: 307 m² of living space (152% larger than the average 122 m²), a 270 m² plot, and an A+ energy label in a 19th-century shell. Comparable properties in City are rare, so the premium reflects its unique combination of size, location and efficiency.
An A+ label means the home is very energy-efficient, so you can expect low heating and electricity bills compared to older homes. In the City neighbourhood, 40% of homes have A+ labels, so this is a strong asset. The exact savings depend on usage, but you will not face the high costs typical of a 19th-century building.
City is a dense, urban neighbourhood with everything within walking distance: supermarkets, restaurants, a library (0.6 km) and a park (0.4 km). The train station is 1.3 km away. Parking is limited, as one resident noted, but the convenience of having shops and culture on your doorstep is a major plus.
With 307 m² of living space, this home is 152% larger than the neighbourhood average of 122 m². The plot of 270 m² is also generous for the city centre. Most homes in City are apartments (only 7% are single-family), so a detached house of this size is very unusual.
Built in 1896, this home is part of Breda's historic city centre, where 47.4% of homes date from before 1945. It has been modernised to an A+ energy label, so you get the charm of a 19th-century property with modern insulation and heating. The exact renovations are not detailed in the listing.
Sold homes in City took an average of 45 days to sell, which is a reasonable pace. With only 21 homes currently for sale and a high price point, this property may appeal to a niche buyer. The market is not extremely fast, but unique homes like this often find their buyer within a few months.
