Geeren-noord, Breda
NeighbourhoodThis terraced house on Emiel van Averbekestraat sits in a quiet part of Breda, with a generous 130 m² of floor space and a 188 m² plot. The floor area is 27% larger than the neighbourhood average, so you get more room than most homes around here. At €399,000, the asking price is exactly the median for the area, which puts it in line with the market. For context, terraced houses in Breda vary widely, but this one offers good value for its size.
The Geeren-noord neighbourhood is a mixed area with around 2,685 residents. It's a fairly urban setting, with a mix of ages and household types, many families with children, but also plenty of singles and older people. Based on three reviews, opinions differ: one long-term resident says 'Everyone greets each other, Dutch and foreigners', while another notes that 'the neighbourhood is going downhill' and misses the old community spirit. A third simply says 'Never bothered by anything, it's lovely living here'. So it's a place where experiences vary, but many appreciate the peace.
For daily shopping, you have a Jumbo about a ten-minute walk away, and an Albert Heijn just a bit further. There are several primary schools within walking distance: Basisschool het Noorderlicht is just around the corner, and Openbare Basisschool De Springplank is a ten-minute walk. The area has a park or green space on your doorstep, and a GP practice is a couple of streets away. The municipality of Breda offers plenty of amenities, though the train station is a bit further out.

Well, I think it's going downhill. I've lived here for 26 years. Everything is mixed together and that sometimes clashes. I don't have any trouble with anyone, I don't meddle with anyone either, I greet everyone and go back inside. Recently they kicked in the gates and the sheds because I live downstairs and they looked in mine, but there was only junk. I think they were looking for electric bikes. Well, I don't have a scooter, so tough luck. No, the neighbourhood is going downhill. It's a shame because I like living here, but there's no cosiness anymore. At 6 o'clock you don't see a soul outside. I sit in my garden and I just don't see anyone walking on the galleries, because that's what I look out onto. I was born in a working-class neighbourhood, everything was different there. We were there for each other and at the time we'd have coffee together and have a good gossip hahahahah. That's not the case here, which I think is a shame. Groendijplein is also difficult to reach for deliveries, that's also rubbish. You have to go to a pickup point. I don't have a car, so you have to bother people again to give me a lift. Really annoying. This used to be a 55-plus flat, now it's not anymore. Everything mixed together.

About Emiel van Averbekestraat 20, Breda
The asking price of €399,000 matches the median price in Geeren-noord, where similar homes sold for an average of €377,909 over the past period. With 130 m² of floor space, that works out to about €3,069 per m², which is below the neighbourhood average of €4,189 per m². So the price is in line with the market, especially given the larger-than-average floor area.
The home has an energy label C, which is average for a house of this age (built in 1969). In the neighbourhood, most homes have label A or A+ (over 63%), so this one is less efficient than many. You can expect moderate heating costs, but it's not the most energy-efficient option.
Geeren-noord has a mix of households: about 385 with children and 250 without, plus many singles. There are several primary schools within walking distance, and a park just around the corner.

The closest supermarket is a Jumbo at about 780 metres, a ten-minute walk. An Albert Heijn is at 908 metres, and an Aldi at 970 metres. So daily groceries are easily reachable on foot.
