Boxtel-Centrum, Boxtel
NeighbourhoodThis mid-terrace house on Dufourstraat sits in the lively centre of Boxtel, where the daytime buzz gives way to quieter evenings. With 141 m² of living space and an energy label A, it's an efficient home that doesn't compromise on comfort. The asking price of €550,000 is on the high side compared to the neighbourhood average, but the home is also significantly larger than most in the area, a combination that reflects its premium position. For context, terraced houses in Boxtel vary widely in size and price.
The neighbourhood Boxtel-Centrum scores a 7.04 out of 10 from three reviews. One resident describes it as "cosy during the day" but notes "poorly lit streets and shady characters on the street" in the evening, plus litter along the Dommel. Another appreciates the "quiet neighbourhood with friendly people" and a sense of community, but misses greenery and amenities: "there is hardly any trees or parks in the area, which makes it a bit drab." A third review calls it "quiet and safe" with "plenty of greenery nearby, such as Molenwijk Park." The neighbourhood has a mix of owner-occupied and social housing, and most homes are from the 1970,2010 period.
For your morning bread, PLUS is just around the corner, and Albert Heijn is a five-minute walk away. Two chip shops on the street add to the local flavour. Schools are close: Baanderherencollege vmbo is a couple of streets away, and Oecumenische Jenaplanschool Molenwijk is within a five-minute walk. The municipality Boxtel offers further amenities like a library and park within easy reach.
At the time of writing, the home is listed through several channels, including Tijn Maas Makelaardij.

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.
