Living in Chassé, Breda
Chassé is nestled between the Breda station area and the heart of the city centre, a neighbourhood that has changed significantly over the past two decades. Where the Chassé barracks once stood, you now find Chassé Park with modern apartment complexes, the Chassé Theatre and the Nieuwe Veste library. It is a neighbourhood with an urban, contemporary character: lots of glass, sleek architecture and a mix of living, culture and dining. The housing stock consists mainly of apartments, ranging from compact studios to spacious penthouses. New-build properties from the 2000s and 2010s dominate, although you can also find older porch flats and townhouses on the edges towards the Ginnekenstraat.
Facilities within walking distance
You can do your daily shopping at the Albert Heijn on Chasséveld or the Jumbo in the city centre, both just a few minutes' walk away.

Along the Ginnekenstraat and Chasséplein, there are dozens of restaurants, cafés and specialist shops. For primary education, there is De Wissel in the immediate vicinity, and the Stedelijk Gymnasium Breda is within cycling distance. Residents therefore give education a sub-score of 9.0. Sports facilities such as the Breda Sports Centre De Scharen can be reached within fifteen minutes by bike.
