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 Charles Petitweg 13, Breda
The asking price is 30% above the average asking price in Geeren-zuid (€711,000), but the home is also 49% larger than the average (118 m²). Detached houses are scarce in this neighbourhood, so the premium reflects both the extra space and the property type. The price is on the high side compared to the local market, but the home's size and type are exceptional for the area.
The home has energy label B, which is efficient. It means the home is well-insulated and has relatively low energy costs compared to older homes. In Geeren-zuid, 40% of homes have label A, 20% label B, and 20% label C, so this home is above average in energy performance.
The plot is 555 m², which is generous for a detached house in this neighbourhood. The listing does not specify the garden layout, but the plot size suggests plenty of outdoor space. You can expect a private garden typical of a detached home from 1996.
Geeren-zuid has a mix of families and singles, with about 595 households with children. There are several primary schools within walking distance, including Kbs De Wegwijzer and Basisschool het Noorderlicht. However, some residents mention a lack of facilities for young people and occasional social tensions. The neighbourhood is very urban, with a high density of addresses.
The nearest train station is 2.9 km away, which is about a 35-minute walk or a short bike ride.
There are several supermarkets within a ten-minute walk: Jumbo (1 km), Albert Heijn (1 km), and Aldi (1.3 km). For daily shopping, you have good options without needing a car.
Resident reviews are mixed. One reviewer describes the neighbourhood as "very dangerous" and reports issues with police response. Another says it can be cosy but notes problems with loitering youths. The total number of crimes recorded in the area is 126, but without context it is hard to compare. It is worth visiting the area at different times to get a feel for safety.
