About Burgemeester de Zeeuwstraat 428, Ridderkerk
The asking price of €325,000 works out at €5,000 per m², which is above the neighbourhood average of €3,938 per m². However, the apartment is smaller than average (65 m² vs 99 m²) and has an unfavourable G energy label. The median price in West is €355,000, so this is at the lower end of the market. Whether it is fair depends on how much you value the compact size and are willing to invest in energy improvements.
An G label is the least efficient category, so you can expect high energy bills for heating and hot water. The home was built in 1963 and likely has poor insulation and single glazing. In the neighbourhood, only 8.3% of homes have an A+ label, while 33.3% have a D label or worse. Upgrading the insulation and heating system could significantly reduce costs, but that requires investment.
The nearest train station is 4.5 km away, so it is not within walking distance. You would need a bus, bike or car to reach it.
Primary schools CBS De Klimop (195 m) and Basisschool De Driemaster (285 m) are both within a few minutes' walk. For secondary education, Portus Farelcollege (528 m) and Gemini College (559 m) are about a ten-minute walk away. There are 78 schools within 5 km, so plenty of choice.
Currently, 12 homes are for sale in the neighbourhood, with prices ranging from €295,000 to €635,000. The average price per m² is €3,938, and the median price is €355,000. This apartment is priced below the median but above the average per m² due to its small size.
