About Schrauwenhof 16A, Breda
The asking price of €1,550,000 is 11% above the WOZ value of €1,395,000, which was set on 1 January 2025. The WOZ value is the municipal valuation, not the current market value. The difference is a fact, and whether it is justified depends on the property's features and market conditions.
According to the agent, the house has four rooms in total: three bedrooms and two bathrooms, spread over two floors. The living area is 194 m² as listed by the agent, while the BAG registration records 196 m². The plot measures 1,199 m², and there is a garden that wraps around the house, plus an attached brick garage.
The energy label is B. This label indicates the home's energy performance, but it does not directly describe the insulation or heating system. The agent does mention that the house has double glazing and full insulation, and a central heating boiler with partial underfloor heating. With label B, energy costs are likely to be moderate, though actual costs depend on usage.
The noise from road traffic is 44 dB Lden, and from rail traffic 32 dB Lden, both measured in 2022 and 2023 respectively. Both are below the Dutch noise norm, so the home is not exposed to excessive noise from these sources. These are area-level indications based on public data, not a measurement at the property itself.
The foundation risk indication for this address is low, and the soil type is sand. This is an area-level indication from public data, not an inspection of the specific property. A low risk means that, based on regional data, foundation problems are less likely, but it does not guarantee the condition of this particular house.
For climate risks, pluvial flooding (from heavy rain) is low, and the current flood risk is also low, as is the risk for 2050. Heat stress is currently low, but is expected to become medium by 2050. These are area-level indications, not a detailed assessment of the property itself.
The nearest supermarkets are a Jumbo and a Lidl, both about 1.3 km away, which is roughly a ten-minute walk. An Aldi is slightly further at 1.3 km, and there are two Albert Heijn stores within 2.1 km. So daily groceries are within easy reach.
The nearest school is the Mencia de Mendoza Lyceum, a secondary school, just 301 metres away. There are also several primary schools within about 1.1 km, including Kbs Petrus & Paulus. For younger children, a childcare centre is about 600 metres away.
The nearest bus stop is Breda, Verdilaan, about 600 metres away, served by bus line 176. Another stop, Breda, Willem van Oranjelaan, is 789 metres away, also on line 176. The train station in Breda is about 3.4 km from the house, so you would need to cycle or drive there.

How residents experience their district
A very nice neighbourhood with lovely people and a cosy atmosphere.
Auto-translated to English by AIBoeimeer is a very nice neighbourhood. Especially for people with young children, it's a neighbourhood to settle down in. It's quiet, people are kind to each other and there's a good atmosphere. The location is also great, 5 minutes from the centre but no trouble with noise pollution or anything like that. In short, I give Boeimeer an 8/10!
Auto-translated to English by AIIt's a nice neighbourhood, you're close to a small park with a public swimming pool, you can do something on the canal, the city is also within walking distance. For someone who moved there later, it's very nice, you can always find things to do for your age and meet other people.

How residents experience their municipality
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 AISafety is good. Hygiene is good, slightly less in some places because there is a McDonald's where some people don't clean up their rubbish. I don't have any trouble with this, and occasionally someone from McDonald's comes to clean it up. So I gave it a passing grade. Housing is also good. Everything is spacious. Accessibility for cars and cyclists is good. There is also a station reasonably close by. There is no school in the neighbourhood, so no education. You have to cycle a bit for that. About the community: it's fine. There is a neighbourhood party every year, but nothing more. I don't feel the need for that either. The neighbourhood is also reasonably green because the houses are spaced out. Many people have greenery in their own gardens. Just as there is no school, there are also no facilities. You have to cycle a bit for that again. Conclusion: I live well here. The neighbourhood is especially suitable for people who want to live spaciously and quietly. For elderly people who have difficulty walking, this neighbourhood is not suitable.
Auto-translated to English by AIGreat!! Everyone knows each other. (except the Dutch residents who have recently moved in) If these people also make an effort to get to know the Moluccan residents, it will only get better. After the renovation, quite a few owner-occupied houses with Dutch residents have been added. If both parties make some effort to adapt, we will become a beautiful residential area.

Auto-translated to English by AII have lived in Kroeten my whole life, and have always lived positively here. It is a nice, tidy neighbourhood with various amenities nearby.
Auto-translated to English by AII haven't been living here very long, about six months I think, but I immediately felt at home. The Mastbos is literally around the corner for a lovely walk, as is the Ginniken square for nice restaurants and cafés. The Albert Heijn is a 5-minute bike ride or a 15-minute walk. The station is a 15-20 minute bike ride. There are many large, beautiful houses to admire here, the atmosphere feels very village-like, and it's all very lovely. It also feels safe.
Auto-translated to English by AIBeautiful, we help each other with a joint barbecue and a neighbourhood chat. It's great here. A chat is part of it every now and then.
Auto-translated to English by AII myself quite like living here
