Boxtel-Centrum, Boxtel
NeighbourhoodThis detached house on Molenstraat 114 is a striking presence in Boxtel, with its 1888 origins and generous proportions. The 379 m² floor area and 5,450 m² plot make it a rare offering in the centre. At €1,850,000, the price is well above the neighbourhood average, partly because of the exceptional size and character. For context, detached houses in Boxtel typically command a premium, but this home is in a league of its own.
The neighbourhood Boxtel-Centrum scores a 7.04 out of 10 from three reviews. One resident describes it as "cosy during the day" but notes "poorly lit streets and shady characters on the street" in the evening, plus litter near the Dommel. Another says it's "a quiet neighbourhood with friendly people" and a sense of community, but misses greenery and amenities, "hardly any trees or parks" and limited cafés or shops. A third review calls it "quiet and safe", with Molenwijk Park nearby and supermarkets a five-minute bike ride away. The neighbourhood has a mix of owner-occupied and social housing, and feels safe enough for an evening walk.
For daily shopping, Aldi is just around the corner, Albert Heijn is a couple of streets away, and PLUS is a five-minute walk. The Angela School is on your doorstep for primary education, and Baanderherencollege vmbo is a couple of streets away for secondary. The train station is a ten-minute walk, and the Dommel river runs through the area. The municipality Boxtel offers a compact centre with restaurants and a library within walking distance.
At the time of writing, the home is listed through several channels, including Nuyens Makelaars.

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 Molenstraat 114, Boxtel
The asking price is 344% above the neighbourhood average of €416,900, but this home is exceptional: a detached house from 1888 with 379 m² of living space and a 5,450 m² plot. Comparable properties are rare, so the price reflects its unique character and size rather than the local market norm.
The energy label is F, which is poor. In a neighbourhood where most for-sale homes have better labels, this means heating costs will be high. The home dates from 1888, so improvements like insulation and modern glazing are likely needed to bring it up to current standards.
The plot measures 5,450 m², which is exceptionally large for a home in the centre. The listing does not specify a garden or outdoor features, but the size offers plenty of space for landscaping, a vegetable patch, or even a small orchard, subject to local planning rules.
Residents give mixed reviews: some feel safe and appreciate the community spirit, while others mention poorly lit streets and litter. The overall safety score is satisfactory, and people know each other. The area has a mix of owner-occupied and social housing, contributing to a diverse population.
The train station is 1.0 km away, about a ten-minute walk. This makes it convenient for commuting, though some residents note that public transport could be better, buses don't run often.
Yes, several schools are within walking distance. The Angela School (primary) is 256 m away, and Baanderherencollege vmbo (secondary) is 390 m away. There are also special education options nearby. Residents rate the schools as 'just okay', not exceptional but adequate.
Aldi is 542 m away (a couple of streets), Albert Heijn is 647 m, and PLUS is 781 m. All are within a five- to ten-minute walk, so daily groceries are easily accessible.
Built in 1888, this is a 19th-century home. It likely has original features but may require ongoing maintenance for things like the roof, foundations, and plumbing. The energy label F suggests that modernisation is needed to improve efficiency.
