Binnenstad centrum, Den Bosch
NeighbourhoodThis 1910 townhouse on Westwal sits right in the heart of 's-Hertogenbosch, where the streets hum with café life and the cathedral bells mark the hours. With 138 m² of living space and a 75 m² plot, it's a substantial home in a setting that's anything but suburban. The asking price of €850,000 is 18% above the neighbourhood average of €718,369, which puts it on the high side, but then, this is the historic centre. For context, terraced houses in Den Bosch in this price bracket are rare.
The neighbourhood Binnenstad centrum is the historic core of Den Bosch, with 6,960 residents packed into a very dense urban fabric (4,125 addresses per km²). It's a young crowd, nearly 43% are between 25 and 45, and two-thirds of households are single-person. No resident reviews are available for this street, but the figures paint a picture of a lively, central neighbourhood where most homes are apartments (86%) and a third are owner-occupied. The energy mix in the local housing stock is mixed: 36% of homes have label A or better, but 21% are D or lower, this home's D label is on the weaker side.
For daily groceries, Ekoplaza is just around the corner, and Albert Heijn is a couple of streets away. The nearest primary school, OBS De Koningslinde, is a 2.4 km walk, not the closest, but doable. The municipality Den Bosch has a compact centre, so most amenities are within a ten-minute walk: restaurants, a park, and the train station. It's a walkable, urban lifestyle.
At the time of writing the home is listed through several channels, including Hendriks Makelaardij 's Hertogenbosch, Funda, Huispedia and Pararius.

About Westwal 25, 'S-Hertogenbosch
The asking price is 18% above the average asking price in Binnenstad centrum (€718,369), so it's on the high side. However, the average includes many smaller apartments; a 138 m² townhouse in the historic centre is a different proposition. The median price in the neighbourhood is €488,500, which shows how wide the range is (from €225,000 to €1,950,000).
Energy label D is average for a pre-war home, it's not the most efficient, but it's not the worst either. In Binnenstad centrum, 21% of homes have label D or lower, so this is fairly typical for the area. You can expect moderate heating costs, but nothing extreme.
Very central. The nearest supermarket (Ekoplaza) is 133 m away, and there are several others within a five-minute walk. Restaurants are at 0.2 km, a park at 0.8 km, and the train station at 1.2 km. It's a dense, walkable area with a young population, ideal if you like having everything on your doorstep.
The neighbourhood recorded 1,428 total crimes in the latest data. That's a high number, but it reflects the very dense urban centre with many visitors and nightlife. It's something to be aware of, but not unusual for a historic city centre.
At €6,159 per m² (€850,000 / 138 m²), this home is slightly below the neighbourhood average of €6,234 per m². So while the total price is high, the price per square metre is actually in line with the market.
The listing does not mention a garden. The plot is 75 m², but that could include the footprint of the house itself. Without explicit mention, it's best to assume there is no garden, typical for a townhouse in the historic centre.
