Very good · 3 residents
It is a cosy neighbourhood in itself. There are many amenities such as nice playgrounds, football pitches, primary schools, shops and more. These places are always lively, but there are many elderly people who are good at complaining. There is no community centre or anything to bring people together, so you don't really have much interaction.

About Edeseweg 100-1, Bennekom
The asking price is 47% below the average asking price in De Laar (€565,000) and is the cheapest of the 12 homes currently for sale in the neighbourhood. However, the flat is also smaller than average (67 m² vs 119 m²) and has an E energy label, so the lower price reflects those factors. Compared to the average price per m² in the area (€4,824), this flat works out at about €4,440 per m², slightly below the neighbourhood norm.
The energy label is E, which is on the lower end of the scale. In De Laar, 46.2% of homes have a label D or lower, so this flat is in the less efficient category. You can expect higher heating costs compared to a home with a better label. The listing does not include details on insulation or the heating system, so you would need to check those with the agent.
