A room in the heart of Breda
This listing on Leuvenaarstraat 2B was for a room in the centre of Breda. This listing did not state a 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 room itself. At €662 per month, the rent sat 38% below the neighbourhood average of €1,067, which was keen for the area. For context, rooms in Breda give an idea of what is available across the municipality. This home has not been online since 21 September 2026.
The Schorsmolen neighbourhood
Schorsmolen is a dense, urban pocket of Breda, with a very high address density and a young population profile. Most households are single people, and the area has a lively, transient feel. Based on three reviews, opinions are mixed. One resident says: "Lots of drug addicts and homeless people hanging around here. The front door looks like a rubbish dump, nobody cleans it up, the council does nothing about it." Another says: "My neighbourhood is safe and close to all shops, sometimes I get bothered by bicycles during a festival or special events, but overall it's fine to live here." A third, who has lived there for six years, reports never having had any unpleasant experiences. The Schorsmolen neighbourhood has its own character, shaped by its central position and high turnover.
Life on the street
Daily life here is compact. The Albert Heijn is just around the corner, with Ekoplaza a couple of streets away and a second Albert Heijn within a five-minute walk. For schools, De Singel SO and Kbs De Weerijs are both a short stroll from the front door, while secondary options like Michaël college are a ten-minute walk. The train station is about a ten-minute walk too, and a park is within walking distance for a breather. The municipality of Breda keeps the wider city well connected, with the centre's shops and restaurants effectively on your doorstep.
