What does a rental property cost in Breda noord?
Breda noord is a neighbourhood where renting is the norm: as much as 61% of the more than 11,800 homes are rental properties. Almost half of these (47%) are owned by housing corporations, meaning a large part of the supply consists of social housing. The private sector is therefore relatively limited. In the past twelve months, 124 homes were rented out in the private sector, at an average rent of €1,622 per month. The range is wide: from around €400 for more compact homes to over €4,280 for the more expensive apartments and single-family homes. The average floor area was 99 m². This is striking, because the WOZ value in Breda noord, at €281,000, is well below the municipal average of €382,000 in Breda. The average income here is also lower: €32,200 compared to €39,700 across the municipality. Renting in Breda noord is therefore relatively affordable compared to other neighbourhoods, although the private sector prices are still substantial for many residents with a modal income. At the top of this page you will always find the most current rental prices and the daily supply.
How do residents experience daily life in Breda noord?
Residents on Buurtje.nl give Breda noord a 7.1 out of 10, based on 9 reviews. That is not an exceptional score, and if you read the reviews, you understand why: opinions vary. Accessibility scores highest with a 7.7. The neighbourhood is conveniently located relative to the A16 and A27, and bus lines to the station and city centre run frequently. Amenities (7.3) and education (7.2) are also reasonably well-rated. Shopping centre Geeren-Zuid is the daily grocery point for many residents, although it is also a place that evokes mixed feelings.
Safety scores lowest with a 6.6, and this is reflected in several reviews. One resident writes: "Around the shops it is sometimes unsafe. There are sometimes figures who find girls a bit too interesting." Another long-term resident, active as a volunteer, calls the situation in the neighbourhood "very dangerous" and notes that there have been no neighbourhood meetings for two years. At the same time, there are residents who have been living in the neighbourhood with pleasure for decades. One resident who has lived there for 45 years simply says: "Everyone greets each other, Dutch and foreigners." The picture is therefore nuanced: it strongly depends on which part of the neighbourhood you choose and what your expectations are.
The neighbourhood consists of very different areas. Geeren-Zuid and Geeren-Noord are the areas where most reviews come from, with a mix of older residents and younger families. Here, young people lack amenities, causing them to hang around the shopping centre. The green Waterdonken is quieter and attracts a different audience. Belcrum, near the station, has developed significantly in recent years and is popular among young professionals. And Doornbos-Linie offers a mix of social housing and owner-occupied homes in a somewhat more urban setting.

In the private sector, the average rent over the past year was €1,622 per month, with an average floor area of 99 m². The range runs from approximately €400 to over €4,280 per month. Social housing through housing associations falls outside this and is considerably cheaper.
Is Breda noord a safe neighbourhood to look for a rental home?
Residents rate safety at 6.6 out of 10. Around the Geeren-Zuid shopping centre, some residents experience nuisance and insecurity, especially in the evenings. In quieter neighbourhoods such as Waterdonken and Belcrum, experiences are more positive. So it varies greatly by neighbourhood.
How long is the waiting time for a social rental home in Breda noord?
Almost 47% of homes in Breda noord are owned by housing associations, but waiting times for social housing in Breda can run up to several years. The exact waiting time depends on your registration period with housing associations such as WonenBreburg or Laurentius. Check breda.nl for current information on housing allocation.
Which neighbourhoods in Breda noord are most popular for renting a home?
Belcrum is popular among young professionals due to its proximity to the station. Waterdonken attracts residents seeking peace and greenery. Geeren-Zuid and Geeren-Noord have many social housing units and are affordable, but score lower on safety. Krogten and Doornbos-Linie fall somewhere in between in terms of atmosphere.

Accessibility scores a 7.7 among residents and is therefore the district's strongest point. Breda noord is close to the A16 and A27 motorways, and Breda station is within walking distance from Belcrum. Several bus routes connect the district to the city centre and other parts of the city.
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 AIWell, I think it's going downhill. I've lived here for 26 years. Everything is mixed together and that sometimes clashes. I don't have any trouble with anyone, I don't meddle with anyone either, I greet everyone and go back inside. Recently they kicked in the gates and the sheds because I live downstairs and they looked in mine, but there was only junk. I think they were looking for electric bikes. Well, I don't have a scooter, so tough luck. No, the neighbourhood is going downhill. It's a shame because I like living here, but there's no cosiness anymore. At 6 o'clock you don't see a soul outside. I sit in my garden and I just don't see anyone walking on the galleries, because that's what I look out onto. I was born in a working-class neighbourhood, everything was different there. We were there for each other and at the time we'd have coffee together and have a good gossip hahahahah. That's not the case here, which I think is a shame. Groendijplein is also difficult to reach for deliveries, that's also rubbish. You have to go to a pickup point. I don't have a car, so you have to bother people again to give me a lift. Really annoying. This used to be a 55-plus flat, now it's not anymore. Everything mixed together.
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.

Auto-translated to English by AIIt's a decent neighbourhood overall, but around the shops it can sometimes be unsafe. There are sometimes characters who find girls a bit too interesting.
Auto-translated to English by AII am currently doing an internship in Hart voor Breda Noord, where we deal with many residents and issues in the neighbourhood. The neighbourhood is very pleasant to live in, though not always safe as there are many incidents. This could of course be better; deploying a lot of police would not be a good idea, as it only scares the residents! Furthermore, more camera surveillance and weekly patrols would sometimes be nice. A neighbourhood officer who is social and open to the neighbourhood and residents could help a lot with this. In terms of location, residents, accessibility, and social cohesion, it is a good neighbourhood. Our neighbourhood is seen as a deprived area, which actually carries a negative connotation, while if you have lived here for 20 years, you have a very different view than people from outside the neighbourhood. It is a cosy neighbourhood with a lot of diversity, which you might think would not promote social cohesion, but that is certainly the case. We are interested in each other's culture and way of life, and this actually brings everyone closer together! Our differences also make us special compared to others. Not everyone knows each other in the neighbourhood, but from what I have experienced, everyone, regardless of their situation, gets along well. We also take good care of the neighbourhood itself; streets are mostly always tidy, filled with trees and small canals, very beautiful. And then we have the various large diverse playgrounds, from swings to zip lines, found in almost every corner! Very nice for both children and the whole family :).
Auto-translated to English by AIWhether it's summer or winter, it's always cosy in the Belcrum! There's lots of greenery and fun things to do for children! Traffic follows the rules. A perfect neighbourhood for your family and your children!
