What to consider when buying in Bedrijventerrein De Geer

Pros:

• Direct access to the Belgium border means lower fuel and food prices across the line
• Industrial zoning keeps residential property cheaper than in nearby towns like Tilburg or Breda
• Quiet location away from city congestion; De Geer itself is orderly and low-traffic
• Close to the A67 motorway for commutes to Eindhoven or Antwerp

Cons:

• This is an industrial estate, not a residential neighborhood—no shops, schools, or daily amenities within walking distance
• Heavy truck traffic during business hours; noise from logistics and manufacturing operations
• No public transport to speak of; car dependency is total
• Living here means crossing the Belgian border daily for basic errands (closest supermarket is in Belgium)
• Flooding risk; the terrain near the Markgraaf creek is prone to water issues
