About Binnen Kalkhaven 237, Dordrecht
The asking price of €365,000 is well below the neighbourhood average of €657,500, but this apartment is also smaller than most in Kalkhaven, 68 m² versus an average of 127 m². The price per square metre works out at about €5,368, which is slightly above the neighbourhood average of €5,238. So the price is in line with the market for its size, though the absolute amount is low because the home is compact.
Kalkhaven is a small, densely built neighbourhood with only 190 residents. Most households are singles (65%), and there are few children. The area is very urban (address density 3,694 per km²) but the waterfront location gives it a quieter feel than the rest of the city centre. It is part of Dordrecht's Binnenstad, so you have shops, restaurants and the harbour within walking distance.
Dordrecht train station is 1.4 km away, which is about a ten-minute walk. From there you can reach Rotterdam in about 15 minutes and The Hague in about 30 minutes.
The closest supermarket is Albert Heijn at 225 metres, just a couple of minutes' walk. A second Albert Heijn is 859 metres away, and there is a Dirk at 1 km and a SPAR at 1 km. So daily groceries are very convenient.
The energy label is C, which is average for a home of this age (built in 1981). It means the home is reasonably energy-efficient but not top-tier. You can expect moderate heating costs. Half of the homes in the neighbourhood have label A+ and half have label C, so this one is on the lower end of the local spectrum.
With 68 m² and one bedroom (the listing does not specify the number of rooms, but the size suggests a one- or two-bedroom layout), this apartment is more suited to a single person or a couple. The neighbourhood has few families, only 20% of households have children, and the primary schools are within walking distance, but the home itself is compact.
