Living in Ulvenhout, Breda

Ulvenhout is a village that formally falls under the municipality of Breda, but feels independent as soon as you enter.

The vast majority of buildings date from the 1950s to the 1980s, supplemented by a few new-build projects on the edges. Rental apartments are relatively scarce; those wanting to rent an apartment here have a more limited choice than in the Breda neighbourhoods closer to the centre.

Resident Floris describes Ulvenhout as "a really old-fashioned picturesque" place: "Very nice and cosy, lots of friends, good amenities and employment, and plenty of nature that's easily accessible; everything you look for in a village you can find here." That picture matches the figures: the neighbourhood scores 8.1 out of ten, with high sub-scores for education (9.0) and amenities (9.0). The lowest sub-score is housing (7.0), reflecting the relatively limited rental supply.
