The asking price of €425,000 is above the neighbourhood average of €401,405 and the median of €375,000. However, the apartment has an A energy label and 83 m² of space, which are both above average for the area. Recently sold homes in Kerkelanden went for an average of €457,705, so the price is in line with what buyers have been paying.

Safe neighbourhood, occasionally some nuisance from young people
Auto-translated to English by AIKerkelanden is very safe during the day, at night there is sometimes some nuisance but hardly anything that bothers you. Public transport connection is relatively good, bus goes every 15 minutes during the day and every 30 minutes in the evening, which could be improved to make public transport better for young people who want to go out in the evening.
Auto-translated to English by AIThe apartment where I live is very noisy. If you don't get along with the neighbours, you can follow their every move. Safety has also deteriorated greatly in the neighbourhood. Fireworks are thrown at people and animals, things are being demolished, set on fire, and rapidly falling into disrepair. It's a green neighbourhood, but a strange nature policy is applied. Every week/day, mowing or leaf removal is done with the necessary noise! Clean and tidy takes precedence over the welfare of the animals, unfortunately! The cosiness is hard to find, unfortunately!
Auto-translated to English by AITerrible neighbourhood, sad how it's going downhill and Moroccans try to call the shots. Neighbourhood police and BOA are nowhere to be seen. Lots of traffic nuisance Assaults, stabbings caught on camera. Intimidation
Auto-translated to English by AIIt's a nice neighbourhood but public transport is terrible.
Auto-translated to English by AIKerkelanden is a cosy neighbourhood with many elderly people. All amenities are nearby in Kerkelanden shopping centre. Plenty of sports facilities with a small swimming pool and various gyms. It is generally quiet in the neighbourhood, with a few exceptions. Downsides for me are that there is little greenery and a lot of traffic.

Safe neighbourhood, occasionally some nuisance from young people
Auto-translated to English by AINice area in terms of location, close to the forest, the centre and the cosy Gijsbrecht also nearby. Schools and supermarkets around the corner, really a top location. Fellow residents think too much of themselves. Small gardens, so close together and very noisy. Both young people at night and small children during the day. But a nice mix of ages.
Auto-translated to English by AINeighbourhood itself is fine. Nothing unpleasant. Only the Diependaalselaan is very busy and suffers from exhaust fumes. Speed bumps at the end would make a big difference. They always rev their engines right in front of the flats... Maybe more supervision there...

Auto-translated to English by AIA nice neighbourhood to live in for 48 years. A major drawback is road safety. It has deteriorated significantly since the arrival of AH. And that's a shame. It's not a question of if something will go wrong, but when. And as residents, you absolutely don't want that. Kind regards, Betty Hendriks.
Auto-translated to English by AIUnsafe traffic situation. Very antisocial driving behaviour. It's a miracle that nothing has happened yet. A lot of nuisance from visitors to the AH. It's also hard to talk to them when you point something out. We have the Corversbos around the corner. And the schools are easily accessible.
Auto-translated to English by AII live in a cosy neighbourhood. The residents are very diverse. I can't report any crime. In short, all good. Kind regards, Betty Hendriks. ✅
