Korte Boschstraat

A room in the heart of Breda

This listing does not state a house number, postcode, floor area, year of construction or energy label. As a result, the rest of this page is mainly about the street and the neighbourhood, not the home itself. At €566 per month, the rent is 66% below the neighbourhood average of €1,667, which is in line with the typical price for a room. For context, rooms in Breda vary widely.

The Valkenberg neighbourhood

Valkenberg is the compact city-centre neighbourhood around the park of the same name. With 2,705 residents and a very high address density of 3,871 per km², it is intensely urban. Most households are single-person (1,435), and the average household size is just 1.4. There are few children (145 under 15), and the population skews young: 700 residents are between 15 and 24, and 965 are between 25 and 44. The housing stock is almost entirely apartments (91%), and only 29% are owner-occupied. Crime figures show 243 total offences, which is relatively high for a city centre. For more context, see the Valkenberg neighbourhood.

Life on the street

Korte Boschstraat sits in the middle of Breda's city centre, so daily errands are on your doorstep. A SPAR supermarket is just around the corner, and an Albert Heijn is a ten-minute walk away. For fresh bread or a quick lunch, an AH to go is also within a five-minute walk. Schools are close by: Stedelijk Gymnasium Breda (secondary) is a couple of streets away, and primary school Kbs St. Joseph is just around the corner. The park Valkenberg is a five-minute walk, and the central station is a ten-minute walk. For more on the wider area, see the municipality of Breda.
