House prices and market figures Steenakker, Breda
The owner-occupied market in Steenakker is small and exclusive. Of the 328 homes in the neighbourhood, only 30% are owner-occupied, the remaining 70% are private rental. This limited supply of owner-occupied homes makes Steenakker a niche market: only three homes were sold in the past twelve months, with an average sale price of €950,000 and an average living area of 189 m². That works out at around €5,026 per square metre, which is considerably higher than you encounter in many other Breda neighbourhoods. The average WOZ value in Steenakker is €316,000, which is lower than the district average of Breda west (€327,000) and well below the municipal average of €382,000 for owner-occupied homes in Breda. The difference between the WOZ value and the sale price indicates that the homes actually traded are at the top end of the market. These are larger, high-quality homes, presumably detached or semi-detached. For current asking prices and availability, you can consult the overview at the top of this page.
Living in Steenakker, Breda
Steenakker is a compact, relatively quiet neighbourhood in the west of Breda. With 485 residents and a spacious layout, the neighbourhood feels manageable, and that is exactly what residents appreciate. Anna, one of the reviewers, describes it as "quiet and spacious" and gives the neighbourhood a 6.8 out of 10. She mentions safety as a clear plus point, something also reflected in the sub-score of 10.0 for safety. That is remarkably high and distinguishes Steenakker from more densely populated neighbourhoods elsewhere in the city.
The neighbourhood has a young profile: the largest age group consists of 15- to 25-year-olds (185 of the 485 residents), followed by 25- to 45-year-olds. Single-person households form the majority (230 of the households), and only 28% of residents are married. This gives Steenakker a more individualistic character than a classic family neighbourhood.
In terms of amenities, the neighbourhood scores less well: residents give a 3.0 for amenities, the lowest sub-score. You do not do your daily shopping around the corner, and there is little retail offering directly in the neighbourhood itself. The presence of a McDonald's is explicitly mentioned by Anna: she indicates that hygiene is slightly poorer in some places due to litter around the restaurant, although McDonald's itself also cleans up regularly. Not a dealbreaker, but it is fair to mention. For a full supermarket offering and more shops, you have to rely on nearby neighbourhoods or the city centre.
Accessibility is rated at 7.0. Steenakker is located in the west of Breda and is well connected to the centre and the motorways towards Rotterdam and Antwerp via the urban road network. Public transport is available, although Steenakker is not a public transport hub. The centre of Breda is easily accessible by bike, which makes daily mobility easy for many residents. Breda station, with intercity connections to Amsterdam, Rotterdam and Antwerp, is within cycling distance.
Green space scores a 7.0 and the beauty of the neighbourhood a 7.0, which fits the picture of a quiet, reasonably well-maintained living environment. Education scores a 5.0, which may indicate that there is limited school provision in the immediate vicinity. Parents with school-age children would do well to check in advance which schools are accessible.
Compared to sister neighbourhoods in Breda west, Steenakker has its own character. Tuinzigt and Westerpark offer a different housing mix and more supply, while Princenhage is known for its village atmosphere and more spacious family homes. Steenakker is narrower, quieter and has a pronounced rental sector. If you are specifically looking for an owner-occupied home in Steenakker, you need patience: supply is limited and the homes that sell are clearly in the higher segment. More background on the neighbourhood, including all resident reviews and district data, can be found on the neighbourhood page of Steenakker.
Who is an owner-occupied home in Steenakker interesting for?
Steenakker appeals to buyers who value peace, space and safety more than a bustling neighbourhood environment with many amenities around the corner. Given the sale prices around €950,000 and an average area of 189 m², this is a neighbourhood for movers or buyers with a substantial budget. First-time buyers and buyers with a limited budget will find few opportunities here: supply is scarce and prices are high. If you are more flexible, you can also look at Haagpoort or Heuvel for a wider supply in the area. If renting is an option, also check out the rental homes in Steenakker, where supply is significantly larger.

Safety is good. Hygiene is good, slightly less in some places because there is a McDonald's where some people don't clean up their rubbish. I don't have any trouble with this, and occasionally someone from McDonald's comes to clean it up. So I gave it a passing grade. Housing is also good. Everything is spacious. Accessibility for cars and cyclists is good. There is also a station reasonably close by. There is no school in the neighbourhood, so no education. You have to cycle a bit for that. About the community: it's fine. There is a neighbourhood party every year, but nothing more. I don't feel the need for that either. The neighbourhood is also reasonably green because the houses are spaced out. Many people have greenery in their own gardens. Just as there is no school, there are also no facilities. You have to cycle a bit for that again. Conclusion: I live well here. The neighbourhood is especially suitable for people who want to live spaciously and quietly. For elderly people who have difficulty walking, this neighbourhood is not suitable.
