E.P. van Ooijenstraat 3

The asking price of €469,000 is 27% above the average asking price in Aalst (€369,929). However, this apartment is smaller than the typical home in the neighbourhood (93 m² vs 284 m² average). The price per square metre is not directly comparable because the neighbourhood average includes larger homes. Whether it is fair depends on how much you value a smaller, more manageable space in a quiet village.

Energy label E is an official registration from EP-Online. It means the home is not among the most efficient, label A is the best, G the worst. With label E, you can expect higher energy costs than with a better label. The label does not tell you exactly what needs improvement; it could be the heating system, insulation, or glazing. The neighbourhood has no homes with label A or B, and 67% have label D or lower.

The nearest train station is 11.6 km away, so it is not within walking distance. You would need a car or bus to reach it. The listing does not specify bus connections, but the village is rural, so a car is likely the most practical option for longer journeys.
