About Burgemeester Henssingel 11, Valkenburg
The asking price of €295,000 is 37% below the average asking price in the neighbourhood (€470,802). However, this apartment is also 53% smaller than the neighbourhood average (71 m² vs 152 m²). Given the compact size and energy label G, the price is in line with what you'd expect for a smaller, less efficient home in Valkenburg.

It's worth factoring in potential upgrade costs if you plan to improve the insulation or heating system.
