Geeren-noord is a mixed area with a mix of ages and backgrounds. One long-term resident who has lived here 45 years says: 'Everyone greets each other, Dutch and foreigners.' Another, who has been here 26 years, feels the area is going downhill: '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.' A third resident simply says: 'No trouble at all.' Based on three reviews, opinions vary. The neighbourhood has a strong urban feel, with many families and older residents. The Geeren-noord neighbourhood has a mix of housing, though most homes for sale here have better energy labels than this one's D.
For daily shopping, Jumbo is just around the corner, and Albert Heijn is a five-minute walk away. Basisschool het Noorderlicht is on your doorstep, and Kbs John F. Kennedy is a ten-minute walk.

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 Gilbert van Zinnikstraat 48, Breda
At €350,000, this is the cheapest of the nine homes currently for sale in Geeren-noord. The average asking price in the neighbourhood is around €405,000, and homes that sold recently went for about €378,000 on average. So this one is priced keenly, though it has an energy label D while most homes for sale here have better labels.
The home has energy label D. That means it's not the most efficient, heating costs will be higher than with an A or B label. In Geeren-noord, most homes for sale have better labels (over 60% are A or A+), so this is something to factor in.
Residents have mixed views. One says 'no trouble at all', another mentions break-ins in sheds recently. The total number of reported crimes in the neighbourhood is 76, which is moderate for an urban area.
Basisschool het Noorderlicht is just 85 metres away, so very close. Kbs John F. Kennedy is about 800 metres, and Kindcentrum De Wisselaar is about a kilometre. For secondary education, Newmancollege is about 1.1 km away.
Breda's train station is 3.5 km from the home. That's about a 10-minute drive or a 20-minute bike ride.
With 107 m² of floor space, it's a good size, but you would need to check the layout with the agent.
