About Boulevard De Ruyter 340, Vlissingen
The asking price is 41% below the average asking price in the Oude Binnenstad (€388,877) and well below the median of €350,000. However, the apartment is also 40% smaller than the neighbourhood average (74 m² vs 123 m²). Given the smaller size and E energy label, the price appears competitive for a sea-view location.
Energy label E indicates a relatively inefficient home, so you can expect higher heating and electricity costs compared to a more modern property. The neighbourhood has 46.7% of homes with label D or lower, so this is not unusual for the area. It's worth factoring in potential upgrades to improve efficiency.
The nearest train station is 4.3 km away, which is about a ten-minute drive or a 50-minute walk.
Two primary schools are within a five-minute walk: Archipelschool Frans Naerebout (130 m) and Ichtusschool (130 m). Secondary education is further away at 3.5 km. There are 21 schools within 5 km, so options are available.
The neighbourhood recorded 375 total crimes in the latest data. This is a relatively high number for a dense urban centre, but typical for a historic city centre with many visitors and nightlife. It's always wise to check local crime maps for specific streets.
