House prices and market figures for De Schutskamp, Den Bosch
De Schutskamp is predominantly a rental neighbourhood: only 26% of the approximately 2,715 homes are owner-occupied, of which more than half are owned by a housing association. This makes the supply of owner-occupied homes limited, but certainly not uninteresting. The average WOZ value is €271,000, which is noticeably lower than the district average of West (€322,000) and well below the municipal average of Den Bosch (€398,000). Yet actual selling prices are higher: in the past twelve months, 16 homes changed hands at an average purchase price of €344,688. The range was from €309,000 to €425,000, with an average living area of 102 m². That works out at around €3,380 per square metre. These are typically ground-floor homes such as terraced houses and semi-detached houses from the 1970s and 1980s. Apartments also occur, but are less dominant in the owner-occupied segment.

Living in De Schutskamp, Den Bosch
De Schutskamp is a down-to-earth, functional neighbourhood on the west side of Den Bosch. Not a showpiece neighbourhood, but a place where people simply live well. The streets are quiet, the buildings are compact and the atmosphere is informal. You notice that the neighbourhood has a mixed population: single-person households form the largest group, but you also see young families and elderly people. This gives the streets a certain liveliness without feeling busy.
In terms of amenities, De Schutskamp scores remarkably well. Resident mali describes the neighbourhood as "small but mighty" and explains exactly why: shopping centre De Helftheuvel is a five-minute walk away, the Action is ten minutes away and Lidl is a fifteen-minute walk. So you hardly need to use the car for daily shopping. The same goes for education: the Onderwijsboulevard, where several secondary schools and MBO institutions are located, is a five-minute bike ride away. This also explains why residents rate education a perfect 10.0, the highest sub-score of all.
The location relative to the city is another strong point. The centre of Den Bosch is about a ten-minute bike ride away, and accessibility by public transport and car is good. Bus connections link the neighbourhood to the station and the rest of the city. Via the N65 and the connection to the A2, you are quickly on the motorway. Accessibility therefore scores a 9.0 in resident reviews.
Green space is present, although it is not a park neighbourhood in the classic sense. Resident Roel mentions nature area De Moerputten as a nice point, within cycling distance on the edge of the district. Those looking for more green space can also go to the nearby De Moerputten. A disadvantage that Roel also honestly mentions: noise pollution. That is something to take into account, especially if you are considering buying a home on a through route.
Compared to other neighbourhoods in the district West, De Schutskamp has a more accessible price level. Neighbourhoods such as Paleiskwartier and Willemspoort are more modern and urban in character, but also more expensive. De Kruiskamp and Boschveld are similar working-class districts, each with their own character. The overall neighbourhood score for De Schutskamp stands at a solid 8.5 based on resident reviews.

I think it's a very nice neighbourhood because everything is actually within walking distance. A shopping centre is a 5-minute walk away, Action 10 minutes, and Lidl 15. It's also very convenient that the city centre is only a 10-minute bike ride. Also, after a 5-minute bike ride you're at the education boulevard, where there are 2 Kw1C schools and a few Avans campuses together with Yuverta and Green College and another secondary school called Van Maerlant. Everything is super easy to reach. There are also many primary schools in the area, also for children who need extra support. Furthermore, it's reasonably safe. I'm not afraid to walk outside in the evening. There are also electric green charging points for your cars. You can also easily park your car here, as there is plenty of parking space.
