Den Helderstraat 86

At €375,000, this is the cheapest of the eight homes currently for sale in Markengouw-Midden. The average asking price in the neighbourhood is €674,875, so this apartment is priced 44% below that. However, the floor area of 71 m² is also 40% smaller than the neighbourhood average of 118 m². Given the lower square footage, the price per m² works out at roughly €5,282, which is slightly below the neighbourhood average of €5,823 per m². So it's priced for its size.

The apartment has an energy label C. This means it has reasonable energy efficiency, not the best, but far from the worst. You can expect moderate heating and electricity costs. In the neighbourhood, 77.8% of homes have label A or better, so this one is slightly less efficient than the local average. Still, label C is perfectly acceptable for a home built in 1966.
