Living in Hoogbraak, Baarle-Nassau
Hoogbraak is a quiet, green residential neighbourhood on the edge of the village of Baarle-Nassau. The atmosphere is village-like and friendly: wide streets, detached houses and semi-detached homes largely define the streetscape. It is not a neighbourhood you drive through by chance, but a place people consciously choose for its peace and privacy. Resident Jort describes it aptly: "In the neighbourhood I always feel safe, it's close to the facilities in the village. There are beautiful houses in the neighbourhood. In the middle of the neighbourhood there is a large park." That combination of greenery, safety and proximity to the village centre is what sets Hoogbraak apart.
The largest age group in the neighbourhood consists of 45- to 65-year-olds, and the proportion of families with children is the highest. This translates into a stable, quiet living environment. Young people and starters are less represented, partly due to the limited supply of smaller or affordable rental homes.
Facilities in Hoogbraak

The large park in the middle of the neighbourhood offers space for a walk or an afternoon outdoors.
