Boxtel-Centrum, Boxtel
NeighbourhoodThis 1932 detached house on Esschebaan 6 sits in Boxtel, with a generous 790 m² plot and 131 m² of living space. The energy label C means it's reasonably efficient, though the pre-war construction may need some attention. At €677,500, the asking price is 63% above the neighbourhood average of €416,900, but the home is also 46% larger than the typical 90 m² in the area, so the price per square metre is in line with what you'd expect for a property of this size. For context, detached houses in Boxtel tend to command a premium.
The neighbourhood Boxtel-Centrum has 8,055 residents and a mix of owner-occupied and social housing. Based on three reviews, opinions vary. One resident says: "Living in the centre is cosy during the day. In the evening, poorly lit streets and shady characters on the street. Lots of litter scattered along the Dommel where young people hang out, which attracts rats." Another notes: "It's a quiet neighbourhood with plenty of greenery nearby, such as Molenwijk Park. Several supermarkets are easily accessible (5 minutes by bike) and there are 2 chip shops on the street." A third review mentions a lack of greenery and amenities, but feels safe. The neighbourhood scores a 7.04 out of 10 overall.
For groceries, the nearest PLUS is just under a kilometre away, a ten-minute walk. Albert Heijn, Aldi and Lidl are within a couple of kilometres. Schools are close: the Prinses Amaliaschool (primary) is about 900 m away, and the Baanderherencollege (secondary) is a similar distance. The train station is 1 km away, so a ten-minute walk. The municipality Boxtel offers a mix of urban and rural surroundings, with a park (Molenwijk Park) 500 m from the home.
At the time of writing, the home is listed through several channels, including AMB Makelaars Vught I Qualis and Beekhuizen Makelaardij.

Living in the centre is cosy during the day. In the evening, poorly lit streets and shady characters on the street. Lots of litter scattered along the Dommel where young people hang out, which attracts rats. Bins are full, they could be emptied more often, especially in the summer.
Auto-translated to English by AIOverall, I enjoy living here. The atmosphere is nice and the people are friendly; you feel a certain sense of community. It feels safe enough to take a walk in the evening, and the houses are well-maintained. However, I do notice that there is too little greenery — there are hardly any trees or parks in the area, which makes it a bit drab. I also miss some amenities like nice cafés, shops, or sports facilities; for that you quickly have to go to another neighbourhood. And public transport isn't great, so without a car it can be a hassle to get anywhere. Explanation of the satisfactory aspects (safety, community, hygiene, housing, education): The neighbourhood generally feels safe, residents keep a good eye out. People know each other a bit and say hello, which makes it pleasant. The streets are kept reasonably clean and rubbish is collected properly. The houses are in good condition, and there are plenty of schools in the area that do fine — not exceptional, but just okay. Explanation of the unsatisfactory aspects (greenery, amenities, accessibility): There is really too little greenery: hardly any trees, no playgrounds or small parks where you can relax. In terms of amenities, the offering is limited, especially if you're looking for something fun to do in the neighbourhood. And accessibility could be better: the bus doesn't run often and the station is far away, which makes it difficult if you don't have a car.
Auto-translated to English by AIIt's a quiet neighbourhood with plenty of greenery nearby, such as Molenwijk Park. Several supermarkets are easily accessible (5 minutes by bike) and there are 2 chip shops on the street. There is a mix of owner-occupied homes and social housing, which ensures a diverse group of people. It's actually always clean and I have never experienced any nuisance.

About Esschebaan 6, Boxtel
The asking price is 63% above the neighbourhood average of €416,900, but this home is also 46% larger than the typical 90 m² in Boxtel-Centrum. The price per square metre works out to about €5,171, which is close to the neighbourhood average of €5,297 per m². Given the large plot and detached status, the price is in line with the market.
The energy label is C, which is average for a pre-war home. It means the property has some insulation but is not as efficient as modern builds. You can expect reasonable energy costs, but improvements like double glazing or roof insulation could bring it up to a B or A.
Residents have mixed views. One review mentions poorly lit streets and litter along the Dommel, while another says it's quiet and clean with no nuisance. The overall safety score in the reviews is decent, and the neighbourhood has a sense of community. The total number of crimes recorded in the area is 399, which is moderate for a town centre.
The nearest supermarket (PLUS) is about 800 m away, a ten-minute walk. Primary and secondary schools are within 900 m. The train station is 1 km away, and a park (Molenwijk Park) is 500 m from the home. Restaurants and a GP are also close by.
The house was built in 1932, so it's nearly a century old. The energy label C suggests some modernisation has been done, but you should expect maintenance typical of a pre-war property. The listing does not mention any recent renovations, so a survey would be advisable.
The plot is 790 m², which is very large for a detached house in this area. While the listing doesn't explicitly mention a garden, the size strongly suggests there is outdoor space.
