Graafsebuurt zuid, Den Bosch
NeighbourhoodThis 1930s terraced house on Acaciasingel sits in a lively part of Den Bosch. With 95 m² of living space and a 70 m² plot, it's a compact but characterful home. The energy label is D, so heating costs are something to budget for. At €425,000, the asking price is a touch above the neighbourhood average of €378,000, reflecting the property's solid size and pre-war charm. For context, terraced houses in Den Bosch typically sell in this range.
The neighbourhood Graafsebuurt zuid is densely built and very urban, with over 3,200 addresses per km². It's a diverse area: around 29% of homes are owner-occupied, and two-thirds are single-family houses. Residents give it a 7.1 out of 10, but opinions vary. One resident calls it a "messy little neighbourhood" and notes frequent police presence. Another, who has lived here for 35 years, says it "was once much better" and feels safety has declined. A third describes it as "visibly deteriorating" compared to the past. These are honest, mixed reviews from three residents.
For groceries, you have a Jumbo just around the corner and an Albert Heijn a couple of streets away. There are several primary schools within walking distance, including KC Het IJzeren Kind and Kindcentrum De Troubadour. The municipality Den Bosch offers plenty of restaurants and a park within a few minutes' walk, so everyday errands are easy on foot.
At the time of writing, the home is listed through several channels, including Christis Makelaardij, Funda, and Pararius.

Don't think the neighbourhood is clean and too many immigrants together in one area and police regularly appear, that's not for nothing
Auto-translated to English by AILiving in this neighbourhood for over 35 years and have seen a lot of negative changes over the years. It was always a peculiar neighbourhood in many respects. But there was still something like a sense of community. But now that everyone is more to themselves and has less (good) contact with neighbours, my feeling of safety has noticeably decreased.
Auto-translated to English by AIIn the past the neighbourhood was cleaner and people maintained the front gardens and pavements better, also the children just throw everything on the street

About Acaciasingel 48, 'S-Hertogenbosch
The asking price of €425,000 is about 12% above the average sale price in Graafsebuurt zuid (€378,000) and slightly above the median of €395,000. However, this house has 95 m², which is larger than the neighbourhood average of 85 m². Similar homes in the area have sold for around €387,000 on average, so the price is on the high side but reflects the extra space.
Energy label D means the house is not particularly energy-efficient. You can expect higher gas and electricity bills compared to a modern home. In this neighbourhood, 46% of homes have a label D or lower, so it's not unusual. The house was built in 1938, so insulation and heating are likely original or only partially upgraded.
The neighbourhood recorded 102 crimes in the latest data, which is moderate for a dense urban area. Resident reviews mention a decreased feeling of safety and regular police presence. One long-term resident noted that the sense of community has faded. It's worth visiting at different times to get your own impression.
The nearest primary school is KC Het IJzeren Kind, about a ten-minute walk away. Kindcentrum De Troubadour is further, around 3 km. For secondary education, Rodenborch-College is about 4 km. There are 17 schools within 5 km, so options are plentiful.
Den Bosch train station is 1.2 km from the house, which is about a 15-minute walk. That makes commuting by rail quite convenient.
About 30% of households have children, and there are several primary schools and a child daycare within walking distance. However, the area is very urban and some residents note litter and a lack of community spirit. It's a mixed picture, so families may want to explore the street in person.
