About Chopinstraat 23, Breda
The asking price of €850,000 is 42% below the average asking price in Ruitersbos (€1,457,719) and also below the median of €1,377,500. However, the floor area is 40% smaller than the neighbourhood average, so the price per square metre is actually higher than the neighbourhood average of €5,795/m². It's a keen price for the area, but the smaller size explains the gap.
The home has energy label C. That means it's reasonably efficient, not the best, but far from the worst. In Ruitersbos, 31.3% of homes have label C, and 25% have a lower label (D or worse). You can expect moderate energy bills, but nothing extreme.
The plot is 241 m², which includes the house and the garden. The exact garden size isn't stated, but with a terraced house on a plot of this size, you typically have a decent back garden and a small front garden. The house was built in 1956, so the garden is likely established.
Ruitersbos has a mix of ages, but 36% of residents are 65 or older, and only 25% of households have children. There are good schools nearby, like Dr. De Visserschool (primary) and Mencia de Mendoza Lyceum (secondary), both within a ten-minute walk. The park is just around the corner, and the streets are quiet.
The nearest train station is 3.9 km away, which is about a 15-minute cycle or a 10-minute bus ride. It's not within walking distance for a daily commute, but it's manageable by bike or bus.
The listing doesn't specify parking, but as a terraced house with a front garden, there is likely on-street parking available. Ruitersbos is a residential area with driveways and street parking, so finding a spot should be straightforward.
