Homes for sale in Chassé, Breda

House prices and market figures for Chassé, Breda

Of the 2,068 homes in the neighbourhood, 42% are owner-occupied, while 58% are rented, a large proportion of which are via private landlords (39%). This makes the supply of owner-occupied homes relatively limited. The average WOZ value is €365,000, which is higher than the district average for Breda city centre (€300,000) but slightly below the municipal average for Breda as a whole (€382,000). This tells you something about Chassé's position: more urban and closer to the centre than the average Breda neighbourhood, but also more compact and with a mix of housing types that depresses the value.

In the past twelve months, 21 homes were sold in Chassé, with an average sale price of €544,714. The range was remarkably wide: from €335,000 to €1,425,000, indicating that both modest apartments and larger city homes changed hands.

Living in Chassé, Breda

Chassé is a neighbourhood that you cannot simply describe as quiet or bustling; it is both at the same time, depending on the moment and the location. The neighbourhood lies directly adjacent to Breda city centre and is named after the former Chassé barracks site, which was transformed into an urban residential area in the 1990s and 2000s. This is reflected in the housing stock: a mix of 1990s new-build, city apartments and some characteristic buildings along the edges of the area. It is not a neighbourhood with endless rows of terraced houses, but rather a mix of stacked construction and ground-based homes on a relatively small area.

The location is the major trump card. Breda station is within walking distance, making it attractive for commuters to Rotterdam, Utrecht or Amsterdam. The Intercity Direct stops here, as do regional connections towards Tilburg and Dordrecht. Those travelling by car can quickly reach the A16 or A27. Within the neighbourhood and to the city centre, you can cycle in five minutes, making daily shopping and nightlife easily accessible. Residents therefore give accessibility the highest sub-score: 9.0.

In terms of amenities, Chassé benefits fully from its proximity to the city centre. Supermarkets, restaurants and shops are nearby. Chassépark, right next to the neighbourhood, offers a welcome green space, although residents give greenery a relatively low score of 6.5, suggesting that the neighbourhood itself has little street greenery. For schools and childcare, residents rate education highly (9.0), indicating a good provision in the immediate vicinity. The neighbourhood attracts many young residents: the 25 to 45 age group is by far the largest, and single-person households are dominant. This gives Chassé an urban, dynamic character.

Residents are generally positive. On the Chassé neighbourhood page, there is an overall score of 7.8 out of 10, based on resident reviews. Giph Mouwen simply describes it as a "beautiful neighbourhood" and gives a 9.2. Jes is slightly more critical with a 6.4 and describes the neighbourhood as "lively but sometimes a bit messy", noting that enforcement officers sometimes create an unnecessarily unsafe atmosphere. The latter is a sign that the balance between liveliness and order is not always well struck. Safety scores 8.0, so it is more about perception and approach than structural insecurity.

Compared to neighbouring communities in the same district, Chassé has its own identity. Valkenberg is greener and quieter, while City is more central and commercial in nature. Those who like urban living with good connections but also some distance from the busiest shopping streets will find an interesting middle ground in Chassé. Station and Fellenoord are also worth comparing if you want to buy in this corner of Breda. More information about the broader context can be found on the page for Breda centrum as a district.

Who is a home in Chassé interesting for?

Chassé mainly appeals to young professionals and dual-income couples who want to live in an urban setting without compromising on accessibility. The dominant age group of 25 to 45 and the large proportion of single-person households say enough. Families with children are less common, although the education provision is good. First-time buyers must reckon with an average sale price of over €544,000, which makes entry difficult without own capital or support. Supply is limited: only 21 homes were sold in the past year. Those who want to be flexible or test the market can also look at rental homes in Chassé as a temporary alternative. Be prepared for a competitive market and keep an eye on the current selling times at the top of this page.

What residents say about Chassé

This nuances the picture: Chassé is not a problem neighbourhood, but neither is it an average quiet residential area.
