The average floor area was 100 m². These are annual averages for the private sector, excluding social housing.

Prinsenbeek: the village that became a neighbourhood but retained its character

Prinsenbeek does not feel like a Breda neighbourhood; it feels like a village. That is exactly what residents appreciate about it. On the neighbourhood page of Buurtje.nl, Prinsenbeek scores 8.1 out of 10, based on resident experiences. Accessibility (9.0) and education (9.0) score highly, which is notable for a relatively small core. Safety and community spirit both stand at 8.3. Only amenities score slightly lower, at 7.3.

Resident Francis describes it like this: she lives at her birthplace again after a period living elsewhere, and it still feels exactly the same. "Familiar because you know everyone, safe because we look out for each other." That social fabric is not something you buy in a new-build neighbourhood; it grows over years. Rob Tieken describes the area as a place where young and old meet around a green field, with spacious parking bays and many trees. And Lobke adds: "Quiet, not busy, you can just walk outside on the street and children can easily play outside." Three reviews, but they say the same thing: Prinsenbeek is quiet, social and green.

Accessibility scores remarkably high for a village. Prinsenbeek has its own train station on the Breda-Roosendaal line, so you can quickly reach the centre of Breda. Shops for daily groceries are available, although amenities are more limited than in the city. Those looking for more urban amenities can go to the centre of Breda or Breda Noord.
