Centrum, Bergen op Zoom
NeighbourhoodThis apartment on Blauwehandstraat sits right in the lively centre of Bergen op Zoom, surrounded by restaurants and shops.

Very many so-called confused people in the neighbourhood under the influence of something. I think they should look at how to keep these kinds of people out of the neighbourhood as much as possible.

About Blauwehandstraat 8A, Bergen Op Zoom
The asking price of €399,500 is above the neighbourhood average of €381,381 and well above the median of €299,000. However, the apartment is smaller than average (79 m² vs 123 m²), so the price per square metre (€5,057) is higher than the neighbourhood average of €3,586. Whether it's fair depends on how much you value the historic character and central location.
The energy label is D. In the Centrum neighbourhood, about 25.5% of homes have a label D or lower, while 25.5% have A+ and 13.7% have A. Label D means the home is not very energy-efficient, so you can expect higher energy bills compared to a modern home. The listing does not provide details on insulation or heating system.

The floor area is 79 m², but without a layout description, it's not possible to estimate the number of bedrooms or living spaces. You would need to check the floor plan or contact the agent for details.
The listing does not mention a garden, balcony, or terrace. The plot size is not provided, so it's unclear if there is any private outdoor space. Given the central location and apartment type, outdoor space is likely limited or communal.
