Boxtel-Centrum, Boxtel
NeighbourhoodThis semi-detached house on Prins Hendrikstraat feels like a real find: a generous 277 m² of living space on a 450 m² plot, built in 2011 and with an A energy label. The asking price of €945,000 is well above the neighbourhood average of €416,900, but then you're getting a home that's more than twice the size of the typical Boxtel-Centrum property. For context, other semi-detached houses in Boxtel tend to be smaller and less energy-efficient, so this one stands out.
The neighbourhood Boxtel-Centrum has a lively centre by day, but opinions vary. One resident says: "Living in the centre is cosy during the day. In the evening, poorly lit streets and shady characters on the street. Lots of litter scattered along the Dommel where young people hang out, which attracts rats." Another describes it as "a quiet neighbourhood with friendly people, but you do notice that some things are missing", specifically greenery, amenities and public transport. A third review calls it "quiet and safe" with plenty of greenery nearby. Based on three reviews, the neighbourhood scores a 7.04 out of 10. The area has a mix of owner-occupied and social housing, and many residents live alone.
For your morning bread run, Albert Heijn is on your doorstep, and Lidl is just around the corner. There are also several other supermarkets within a ten-minute walk. School runs are easy too: Basisschool St Petrus is a couple of streets away, and the Angela school is a five-minute walk. For secondary education, the Jacob-Roelandslyceum is also within walking distance. The municipality Boxtel offers a range of amenities, including a restaurant just around the corner and a park a couple of streets away.
At the time of writing, this home is listed through several channels, including Tijn Maas Makelaardij. The listing is available on both Huispedia and Funda.

Living in the centre is cosy during the day. In the evening, poorly lit streets and shady characters on the street. Lots of litter scattered along the Dommel where young people hang out, which attracts rats. Bins are full, they could be emptied more often, especially in the summer.
Auto-translated to English by AIOverall, I enjoy living here. The atmosphere is nice and the people are friendly; you feel a certain sense of community. It feels safe enough to take a walk in the evening, and the houses are well-maintained. However, I do notice that there is too little greenery — there are hardly any trees or parks in the area, which makes it a bit drab. I also miss some amenities like nice cafés, shops, or sports facilities; for that you quickly have to go to another neighbourhood. And public transport isn't great, so without a car it can be a hassle to get anywhere. Explanation of the satisfactory aspects (safety, community, hygiene, housing, education): The neighbourhood generally feels safe, residents keep a good eye out. People know each other a bit and say hello, which makes it pleasant. The streets are kept reasonably clean and rubbish is collected properly. The houses are in good condition, and there are plenty of schools in the area that do fine — not exceptional, but just okay. Explanation of the unsatisfactory aspects (greenery, amenities, accessibility): There is really too little greenery: hardly any trees, no playgrounds or small parks where you can relax. In terms of amenities, the offering is limited, especially if you're looking for something fun to do in the neighbourhood. And accessibility could be better: the bus doesn't run often and the station is far away, which makes it difficult if you don't have a car.
Auto-translated to English by AIIt's a quiet neighbourhood with plenty of greenery nearby, such as Molenwijk Park. Several supermarkets are easily accessible (5 minutes by bike) and there are 2 chip shops on the street. There is a mix of owner-occupied homes and social housing, which ensures a diverse group of people. It's actually always clean and I have never experienced any nuisance.
