Centrum, Bergen op Zoom
NeighbourhoodThis 1937 terraced house on Wassenaarstraat sits right in the centre of Bergen op Zoom, where the streets are lively and everything is close by. With 222 m² of floor space and a 264 m² plot, it is a substantial home in a neighbourhood that is mostly made up of smaller properties. The asking price of €599,000 is 57% above the neighbourhood average of €381,381, which reflects the extra space and central location. For comparison, other terraced houses in Bergen op Zoom vary widely in size and price.
The Centrum is the historic core of Bergen op Zoom, with a very high density of addresses (3,214 per km²) and a mix of shops, cafés and cultural spots. It is a strongly urban area, with many single-person households (1,355) and a relatively small share of families with children (380). Residents give it a 7.42 out of 10 based on three reviews. One resident says: "Friendly people live in the neighbourhood." Another notes: "There are also plenty of activities in the city." A third review is less positive, mentioning "very many so-called confused people in the neighbourhood under the influence of something." Overall, the neighbourhood Centrum is a mixed, lively area with a strong community feel.
Daily errands are easy here. The Ekoplaza is on your doorstep, just 42 metres away, and a Jumbo is just around the corner. For a bigger shop, Albert Heijn is a ten-minute walk. Families with children have two primary schools within a short walk: RK Basisschool Sancta Maria and Basisschool De Krabbenkooi. Secondary school MollerJuvenaat is also within walking distance. The municipality Bergen op Zoom offers a compact, walkable centre with most amenities close at hand.
At the time of writing, this home is listed through several channels, including Hopmans Makelaardij and on Pararius. The energy label is E, which is less efficient than much of the current housing stock in the neighbourhood, where over half of the homes have label C or better.

Very many so-called confused people in the neighbourhood under the influence of something. I think they should look at how to keep these kinds of people out of the neighbourhood as much as possible.

About Wassenaarstraat 46, Bergen Op Zoom
The asking price is 57% above the average asking price in the Centrum neighbourhood (€381,381). However, this home is also 80% larger than the neighbourhood average (222 m² vs 123 m²). The price per square metre works out at about €2,698, which is below the neighbourhood average of €3,586 per m². So while the total price is high, you are getting significantly more space for your money.
Energy label E means the home is not very energy-efficient. In the Centrum neighbourhood, about 25.5% of homes have label D or lower, so E is at the lower end. You can expect higher heating costs compared to a home with a better label. The home was built in 1937, so it likely has single glazing and limited insulation, but improvements are possible.
The Centrum is very walkable. There are several supermarkets within a few minutes' walk, including Ekoplaza at 42 metres and Jumbo at 135 metres. Schools, restaurants and a park are all close by. The train station is 1.6 km away, about a 20-minute walk. The area is densely built and lively, with many shops and activities in the city centre.
Given the size and price, this home is likely to appeal to families or couples who want plenty of indoor and outdoor space in a central location. The neighbourhood has a mix of residents, but families with children make up a smaller share (380 households). The large floor area and garden plot are unusual for the centre, so it stands out from the typical apartment or smaller terraced house.
With 222 m² of living space, this home is 80% larger than the average home for sale in the Centrum (123 m²). The plot of 264 m² is also generous for a terraced house in a city centre. Most homes in the neighbourhood are smaller, often apartments or compact terraced houses, so this property offers rare space.
The neighbourhood recorded 460 total crimes in the latest data. Given the population of 4,040, that works out at about 114 crimes per 1,000 residents, which is relatively high. However, the centre is a busy area with many shops and visitors, so some of this is likely petty crime and nuisance. One resident review mentions "confused people" and nuisance, so it is something to be aware of.
