Perfect living in het Ginniken

I haven't been living here very long, about six months I think, but I immediately felt at home. The Mastbos is literally around the corner for a lovely walk, as is the Ginniken square for nice restaurants and cafés. The Albert Heijn is a 5-minute bike ride or a 15-minute walk. The station is a 15-20 minute bike ride. There are many large, beautiful houses to admire here, the atmosphere feels very village-like, and it's all very lovely. It also feels safe.

Cosy and beautiful

In het Ginneken there is always something to do. From supermarket to terrace to the forest, you have everything in your area when you live here. It is a beautiful and safe neighbourhood to live in and I feel comfortable and at home here. Many amenities nearby and a 10-minute bike ride from the centre of Breda.

Super nice neighbourhood. The houses are old and stately. Plenty of greenery in the area for a bike ride or walk. Shops are within walking distance.
