Breda centrum, Breda

Neighbourhood research for Breda centrum — safety, schools, livability and property values from official government data.

Breda centrum in Breda scores 3.0 out of 5 on the government's Leefbaarometer livability index. Rentals dominate the housing stock — only 26% is owner-occupied, and over half of households are single-person (68%). Worth flagging: the amenities sub-score here is 4.0/5 — you're rarely far from shops, cafés or other amenities. Reported crime here is classified as elevated relative to other Dutch neighbourhoods.

At €324.000, the average WOZ value here runs 23% below what's typical for Breda as a whole. That's 19% below the Dutch national average. Zooming out, Breda-wide sale prices rose 5.0% over the past year, and recent buyers across the wider region paid 3.2% over asking, with homes selling in a median of 26 days — a sense of the competition to expect, even if it doesn't map exactly onto this street.

A few things worth weighing before you commit: foundation risk near the centre of the neighbourhood is rated high — for pre-1970 homes, ask for a foundation inspection before you bid; the area falls within a protected townscape, so renovations or extensions may need heritage sign-off.
