About Aalscholversingel 32, Velp (Ge)
The asking price of €235,000 is 54% below the neighbourhood average of €509,917, but the apartment is also smaller than average (60 m² vs 126 m²). The average price per m² in the area is €4,081, so this home works out at about €3,917 per m², slightly below the average. Given the compact size and energy label C, the price seems in line with the market.
The energy label is C, which is an official registration from EP-Online. Label C is a mid-range rating, it means the home is reasonably efficient, but you can expect moderate energy costs. It's not as efficient as A or B labels, but it's better than D or lower.

How residents experience their neighbourhood
I think Velp is fine. Also to live in. But not much nature. You would have to cycle to Rheden for real forest. Clean in that respect. And safety is there too.

How residents experience their district
We've been living here for quite a while since 2003, the neighbourhood is being flattened
Auto-translated to English by AINot much privacy
Auto-translated to English by AIVelp Noord is a nice neighbourhood to grow up in. It's quiet, yet everything is close by. The playground is always busy with children, and the park is perfect for a bike ride or to hang out with friends. There are many green spaces, so it's nice for walking, especially in the summer. The people are generally friendly, though you don't know everyone. What I really like is that you can easily get to the city, but it's not too busy. You do notice that more and more new houses are being built, which changes the atmosphere a bit, but I think it's a good change.
Auto-translated to English by AIEver since I moved here, everything is right at hand. The people are nice, facilities are top-notch! And since I'm a student, having 4 supermarkets within cycling distance is ideal for bargain hunting! I'm completely satisfied and definitely don't want to go back home.

How residents experience their municipality
It is a beautiful, quiet neighbourhood, surrounded by nature. There are some spots where you wouldn't want to walk in the evening, but these are relatively few. The people are very involved with each other and have many mutual connections. However, people drive quite fast on the streets.
Auto-translated to English by AIPeople regularly drive too fast through the street (30 km/h zone), which does not improve road safety. Also, pavements are uneven due to tree root growth. The older generation in particular experiences inconvenience from this. Perhaps something can be done about this?

Auto-translated to English by AIIn itself there is little contact with neighbours, but you can change that yourself by seeking contact.
Auto-translated to English by AIWe've been living here for quite a while since 2003, the neighbourhood is being flattened
Auto-translated to English by AIThe neighbourhood has deteriorated rapidly in a short time. I've lived here for 42 years and see the dilapidation and poor maintenance of the houses and surroundings. The residents are also hardening in their behaviour, lots of arguments and noise. I no longer enjoy living here and would very much like another home in a different neighbourhood.
Auto-translated to English by AIBusy streets, lots of greenery, many shops but also many that are empty and the people are fine, but not much contact with them
Auto-translated to English by AII think the neighbourhood is great
