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.

About Cypresstraat 36, 'S-Hertogenbosch
The asking price is 24% above the neighbourhood average of €378,038, but the home is also 45% larger than the average (123 m² vs 85 m²). The price per square metre works out to about €3,817, which is below the neighbourhood average of €4,614 per m². So while the total price is high, you get more space for your money compared to other homes in Graafsebuurt zuid.
The energy label is E, which is below average for the neighbourhood, 23% of homes have label A, and 46% have label D or lower. An E label means higher energy costs for heating and electricity, so you should expect higher monthly bills compared to a more efficient home. The house was built in 1938, so insulation may be limited.
Residents have mixed feelings. In reviews, some mention that the neighbourhood feels less clean than in the past, with litter and poorly maintained front gardens. Others note a decrease in the sense of community and safety. The total number of crimes recorded in the area is 102, but without context it's hard to compare. It's a densely populated urban area, which can bring both vibrancy and challenges.
The train station is 1.2 km away, about a 15-minute walk. That gives you access to regional and national rail connections. The high address density (3,267 per km²) suggests good public transport coverage.
A GP surgery is 300 metres away, a large supermarket (Albert Heijn) is 400 metres, and a primary school (KC Het IJzeren Kind) is 400 metres, all within a five-minute walk. A park or public garden is 300 metres away. Secondary education is 1.1 km away. So daily needs are easily met on foot.
In the neighbourhood, 13 homes are currently for sale, with an average asking price of €378,038 and a median of €395,000. The average price per m² is €4,614.
