Frequently asked questions
About Havenstraat 31, Bussum
Is €695,000 a fair price for this apartment?
The asking price is above the neighbourhood average of €623,447 and the median of €585,000. However, this apartment is larger than the average (105 m² vs 138 m² average in the area, though that includes larger homes). The price per m² works out to about €6,619, which is higher than the neighbourhood average of €5,299 per m². So it's on the high side, but the central location and period features may justify it.
What is the neighbourhood like?
Brinklaan is a very urban neighbourhood with a high density of addresses. It's popular with singles and young adults, and there's plenty to do within walking distance. The one resident review gives it a 7.25 out of 10, praising the central location and walkability. Crime figures show 226 total offences, which is something to consider.
How far is the train station?
The nearest train station is 1.1 km away, which is about a ten-minute walk. That makes it convenient for commuting to Amsterdam or Utrecht.
What shops and schools are nearby?
Nettorama is just 118 m away, with Ekoplaza and Albert Heijn within 300 m. For schools, the Katholieke Basisschool Sint Vitus is 360 m away, and the Goois Lyceum is 540 m away. So daily errands and school runs are very manageable on foot.
What is the energy label and what does it mean?
The energy label is C, which is average for a home of this age. It means the home is reasonably efficient but not top-tier. You can expect moderate energy costs, but it's not as efficient as a modern A-label home.
How many homes are for sale in the neighbourhood?
There are currently 19 homes for sale in Brinklaan, with prices ranging from €295,000 to €1,595,000. The average time to sell is 64 days, which suggests a fairly active market.
