Living in Kroeten, Breda

Kroeten is a quiet, green residential neighbourhood on the northwest side of Breda, built in the 1970s and 1980s. The neighbourhood has the classic profile of a post-war expansion district: wide streets, plenty of greenery between the homes, and terraced houses and semi-detached homes on spacious plots. Anyone looking for a compact city neighbourhood with a bustling street life should look elsewhere. Kroeten is particularly attractive for people who appreciate peace, space and a recognisable neighbourhood structure.

Residents rate Kroeten with an average score of 8.6 out of 10. Ivy Lawalata, who has lived in the neighbourhood her whole life, describes it as follows: "It is a nice, neat neighbourhood with various amenities nearby." That picture matches the high sub-scores for greenery (9.0), beauty (9.0) and accessibility (10.0). The perfect score for education is striking, which ties in with the fact that families with children form the largest household group in Kroeten. The scores for amenities (7.0) and community (7.0) are slightly lower, which is fair: Kroeten does not have a bustling shopping centre on the corner, and the social cohesion is more quiet-neighbourhood-like than close-knit village-like.

Larger shopping centres such as the centre of Breda are easily accessible by bicycle in about ten to fifteen minutes.
