Neighbourhoods in Breda
- Buying a house in Ginneken
For many people in Breda, Ginneken is where their search ends. It has stayed a village, with its own market square and the Mastbos round the corner, and yet you can cycle to the city centre in no time. Anyone who has a house here rarely parts with it. What comes free is first passed on around the Ginnekenmarkt. It often goes to a neighbour who wants to move up or to a family that has been known to an agent for years, and sometimes to someone who once put a letter through the door.

- Buying a house in Princenhage
Princenhage has been part of Breda since 1942, but it still feels like a village, and you notice that in how houses change hands here. A home in the old core rarely comes up for sale publicly. The street knows before Funda does, and the house goes to someone from the village or to someone who had already come forward to the owner. People from outside the village often only hear afterwards that something was for sale.

- Buying a house in Belcrum
Belcrum lies on the north side of the station, just outside the singels, and in recent years has become a neighbourhood young families want to move to. Those who live there now have often searched for a long time and are not quick to leave again. As a result a 1930s house rarely comes free here, and when it does, the neighbours and their friends usually know before Funda does. Some also go to someone who had already come forward to the owner.
