About Alkenoord 126, Capelle Aan Den Ijssel
Yes, it's in line with the market. The price per square metre works out to about €3,634, which is typical for an apartment of this age and size in Capelle aan den IJssel. The energy label D means heating costs will be moderate, but nothing out of the ordinary for a 1968 building.
Alkenoord is a quiet, older neighbourhood. Over 60% of residents are 65 or older, so it's very peaceful. There are few children and most homes are owner-occupied. The area has a high density of addresses, so you're never far from shops or public transport, but the streets themselves are calm.
The nearest train station is 4.3 km away, so it's not within walking distance. You'd need a bus or bike to get there. The bus network in Capelle is good, though, so commuting by public transport is still feasible.
Albert Heijn is just 500 metres away, and Jumbo and Ekoplaza are about 560 metres. That's a five-minute walk for your daily groceries. There's also a Lidl within the same distance. For a wider selection, the centre of Capelle is a short bike ride away.
Probably not ideal. The neighbourhood has very few families, only 75 households with children out of 1,295 residents. The apartment itself is 82 m² with two bedrooms (typical for this size), but the area is more geared towards singles and older couples. Schools are nearby, but the social environment is quiet and adult-oriented.
Label D is average for a building from 1968. You'll have reasonable insulation, but heating costs will be higher than a modern home. Double glazing is likely, but the walls and roof may not be as efficient as newer builds. Expect a moderate energy bill, nothing extreme.
