At €800,000, the asking price is 41% above the average in Valkenberg, which reflects the exceptional size and location. For context, terraced houses in Breda vary widely, but this one is clearly at the upper end.

The urbanity level is 1 (very strong), with 3,871 addresses per km², so life here is lively and compact.
