About Akenerstraat 5, Vaals
The asking price is 24% below the neighbourhood average of €393,030, which reflects the small floor area (49 m²) and poor energy label G. Compared to other apartments in Vaals, it's on the low side, but the high energy costs and compact size mean it's not a bargain for everyone.
The energy label is G, the lowest rating. This means the home has poor insulation and high heating costs. In the neighbourhood, 46.2% of homes have label D or lower, so this is at the bottom end. Expect significant energy bills, especially in winter.
The building dates from 1736, making it nearly 300 years old. This is unusually old for the neighbourhood, where only 21.9% of homes were built before 1945. The historic character comes with maintenance considerations typical of an older property.
Vaals is a moderately urban area with a quiet, historic feel. Residents appreciate the peace and the proximity to shops and restaurants. The Three-Country Point is nearby, adding a unique international dimension. However, secondary education is 11.4 km away, and the nearest train station is 15.3 km.
At 49 m², this apartment is 69% smaller than the neighbourhood average of 159 m². It's compact, suitable for a single person or a couple who prioritise location over space. Most homes in Vaals are larger, so this is a distinct feature.
