The Schorsmolen neighbourhood
Schorsmolen is a compact urban area with a strong mix of ages, though single-person households dominate at 77%. The reviews here are mixed, based on three resident opinions. 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 resident notes: "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 adds: "I have been living in this neighbourhood for 6 years. And I have never had any unpleasant experiences." This gives a picture of a lively, sometimes gritty area with loyal residents.

Frequently asked questions
About Nieuwe Dieststraat 132, Breda
Was €691 a fair price for this room?
The rent of €691 was 54% below the neighbourhood average of €1,506, which made it a keen price for a room in this area. The listing was for social housing, which often came with lower rented. Given the floor area of 56 m², the price per square metre was favourable compared to other rentals in Schorsmolen.
What is the energy label and what does it mean?
The energy label is C. This is an official registration from EP-Online, indicating a moderate level of energy efficiency.
