Living in Ginneken: village character on the edge of the city
Ginneken does not feel like an ordinary Breda neighbourhood. It has the appearance of an independent village that was once swallowed up by the city but never lost its own identity. The heart is the Ginnekenplein (officially the Ginnekenmarkt), a cosy square with terraces, restaurants and small specialist shops. Resident Britt sums it up well: "In Ginneken there is always something to do. From supermarket to terrace to the forest, you have everything in your area when you live here." That forest is the Mastbos, one of the oldest planted forests in the Netherlands, which literally borders the neighbourhood. Ideal for runners, dog walkers and families who want to enjoy nature on a Sunday morning.
The homes in Ginneken were mainly built in the first half of the twentieth century, with a mix of characteristic 1930s houses, post-war semi-detached houses and more spacious detached houses on larger plots towards the Mastbos. Many properties have original details such as stained glass and bay windows, which adds to the atmosphere. New construction is scarce, simply because there is little space for it.
In terms of amenities, you are well catered for. On the Ginnekenplein and in the Ginnekenweg you will find an Albert Heijn, bakeries, butchers, a pharmacy and various catering establishments. For primary education, there are the Mariaschool and the Montessorischool, among others. Sports club Baronie (football) and tennis club De Warande are within cycling distance. Accessibility is excellent: by bike you are at Breda station and in the city centre in ten minutes. By car, the Nieuwe Ginnekenweg provides quick access to the A27 and A58. Bus lines towards the centre and station stop in the neighbourhood. More information about local amenities and plans can be found on the website of the municipality of Breda.
Residents rate Ginneken a 9.1 out of 10. Safety (9.6), accessibility (9.6) and the green environment (9.4) score particularly highly. Edie, who has lived there for six months, writes: "I immediately felt at home. The Mastbos is literally around the corner for a lovely walk, as is the Ginnekenplein for nice restaurants and cafés."
