Living in Breda noord: an honest picture of a diverse neighbourhood
Breda noord is not a glossy suburb, and that is precisely what defines its character. With over 26,000 residents, it is one of the larger neighbourhoods of Breda, made up of very different districts. From the lively Belcrum near the station to the quieter residential areas around Waterdonken, and from Geeren-zuid to Krogten: each district has its own character. The largest age group is 25 to 45 years (over 8,200 people), giving the neighbourhood a relatively young and dynamic feel. At the same time, many elderly people live here, as resident Hennie Muller confirms: "We have lived here for 45 years and have never had any problems. Everyone greets each other, Dutch and foreigners."
Residents on the neighbourhood page of Breda noord give the neighbourhood a 7.1 out of 10 based on 9 reviews. Accessibility scores highest at 7.7, and rightly so. Breda station is within cycling distance from Belcrum, bus lines to the centre and surrounding neighbourhoods stop at several locations, and via the A16 and A27 you are quickly on the motorway. Amenities score a 7.3: there are several shopping centres, including the shopping centre in Geeren-zuid where you can do your daily shopping. For schools, there is a choice of primary schools such as De Wegwijzer and the Mencia de Mendoza Lyceum nearby. Zuiderpark and smaller green strips offer space for walking or sports.
But honesty compels us to say that not everything is rosy. The safety score is the lowest sub-score at 6.6. Resident Lieke writes: "It is a fine neighbourhood in itself, but around the shops it is sometimes unsafe. There are sometimes characters who find girls a bit too interesting." Another resident in Geeren-zuid mentions nuisance from loitering youths at the shopping centre and misses facilities for young people. The community score (6.9) reflects that contact between neighbours varies. In some streets you know everyone, in others you live alongside each other. The municipality of Breda is investing in neighbourhood improvement, but residents notice that changes are slow. Anyone buying a home here should know that it is a neighbourhood in development with both strong and vulnerable spots.

Very dangerous my neighbourhood. I work as a volunteer for the last 32 years, but the situation is very very dangerous. Police don't listen. There is no gathering of the neighbourhood in the last two years. I always clean my street. Geeren Zuid Park. I have worked with Werk aan de wijk. I made art workshops. Municipality Breda didn't give 400 euros for material costs, only gave 200, so I asked my family for 1000 US dollars so I could buy materials. I'm sorry, but senior people get no respect here in Breda. (I was racially abused by a security guard in ALDI supermarket as I was giving my trolley to an old lady.) It hurts a lot as I worked for United Nations Goodwill Ambassadors for the last 50 long years, UNICEF, UNESCO, SAVE THE CHILDREN, NCIV Mr Pronk, Voices Of The Earth, for enlightenment in the visions of tomorrow. Pass the torch on to others. Hold on to the memories of yesterday. Even a small memory goes a long, long way and fulfils its purpose in eternity. Quote by M. Bugi.

Auto-translated to English by AIWell, I think it's going downhill. I've lived here for 26 years. Everything is mixed together and that sometimes clashes. I don't have any trouble with anyone, I don't meddle with anyone either, I greet everyone and go back inside. Recently they kicked in the gates and the sheds because I live downstairs and they looked in mine, but there was only junk. I think they were looking for electric bikes. Well, I don't have a scooter, so tough luck. No, the neighbourhood is going downhill. It's a shame because I like living here, but there's no cosiness anymore. At 6 o'clock you don't see a soul outside. I sit in my garden and I just don't see anyone walking on the galleries, because that's what I look out onto. I was born in a working-class neighbourhood, everything was different there. We were there for each other and at the time we'd have coffee together and have a good gossip hahahahah. That's not the case here, which I think is a shame. Groendijplein is also difficult to reach for deliveries, that's also rubbish. You have to go to a pickup point. I don't have a car, so you have to bother people again to give me a lift. Really annoying. This used to be a 55-plus flat, now it's not anymore. Everything mixed together.
Auto-translated to English by AII grew up here and have lived in Breda since birth. I do think the neighbourhood could use a new facility. When young people want to do something here in Geeren Zuid, they usually go to the shopping centre, which only results in more loitering youths.

Auto-translated to English by AIIt's a decent neighbourhood overall, but around the shops it can sometimes be unsafe. There are sometimes characters who find girls a bit too interesting.
Auto-translated to English by AII am currently doing an internship in Hart voor Breda Noord, where we deal with many residents and issues in the neighbourhood. The neighbourhood is very pleasant to live in, though not always safe as there are many incidents. This could of course be better; deploying a lot of police would not be a good idea, as it only scares the residents! Furthermore, more camera surveillance and weekly patrols would sometimes be nice. A neighbourhood officer who is social and open to the neighbourhood and residents could help a lot with this. In terms of location, residents, accessibility, and social cohesion, it is a good neighbourhood. Our neighbourhood is seen as a deprived area, which actually carries a negative connotation, while if you have lived here for 20 years, you have a very different view than people from outside the neighbourhood. It is a cosy neighbourhood with a lot of diversity, which you might think would not promote social cohesion, but that is certainly the case. We are interested in each other's culture and way of life, and this actually brings everyone closer together! Our differences also make us special compared to others. Not everyone knows each other in the neighbourhood, but from what I have experienced, everyone, regardless of their situation, gets along well. We also take good care of the neighbourhood itself; streets are mostly always tidy, filled with trees and small canals, very beautiful. And then we have the various large diverse playgrounds, from swings to zip lines, found in almost every corner! Very nice for both children and the whole family :).
Auto-translated to English by AIWhether it's summer or winter, it's always cosy in the Belcrum! There's lots of greenery and fun things to do for children! Traffic follows the rules. A perfect neighbourhood for your family and your children!
