Rental prices and market figures for Kroeten, Breda
Kroeten is predominantly an owner-occupied neighbourhood: only 16% of the approximately 924 homes are for rent, compared to 84% owner-occupied homes. This makes the supply of rental homes in Kroeten relatively limited. Of those rental homes, the majority are owned by a housing corporation (14%), while only 2% are with other landlords. The private sector is therefore small here. The average WOZ value in Kroeten is €369,000, which is higher than the district average for Breda noord-west (€325,000), but slightly lower than the municipal average for Breda (€382,000). This says something about the character of the neighbourhood: tidier and more affluent than the average north-western district, but not the most expensive place in Breda. For current rental prices, the average monthly rent and the average time to let, you can consult the figures at the top of this page. These are updated daily based on the current supply in the private sector. Social housing via the corporation falls outside this and is generally cheaper, but has a waiting list.
Living in Kroeten, Breda
Kroeten is a quiet, green residential neighbourhood in the north-west of Breda, part of the district Breda noord-west. The neighbourhood has a distinct residential character: wide streets, plenty of greenery between the homes and a predominantly family population. The housing stock largely consists of detached homes and semi-detached homes from the 1970s and 1980s, supplemented by a number of terraced houses. This also explains the high owner-occupancy rate: Kroeten was built for owners, not for tenants.
Resident Ivy Lawalata has lived there her whole life and describes it as follows: "It's a nice, tidy neighbourhood with various amenities nearby." That description matches what you find there. The streets are well-maintained, the gardens are well-kept and there is a certain tranquillity that you find less often in more urban neighbourhoods.

For daily groceries, residents rely on the supermarkets in the surrounding neighbourhoods, such as those towards Heksenwiel or along the Haagweg.

This suggests that families are satisfied with the school choices in the immediate vicinity.
