About Holzstraat 19C, Kerkrade
The asking price is 32% below the average asking price in Holz, which is €288,731. It is also the cheapest of the 13 homes currently for sale in the neighbourhood. However, the floor area of 95 m² is 50% smaller than the neighbourhood average of 190 m², so the price per square metre is roughly in line with the market. Given the energy label G, you can expect higher heating costs, which may be a factor in the lower overall price.
The energy label is G, the lowest rating. This means the home is not energy-efficient, so you can expect relatively high heating and electricity bills. In the neighbourhood, 41.7% of homes have a label D or lower, so this is not unusual for the area, but it is something to budget for.
The train station is 1.5 km away, about a fifteen-minute walk. This makes it feasible for commuting without a car, though you may want to check the frequency of trains to your destination.
Jumbo is just 168 metres away, so you can pop out for bread and milk in a couple of minutes. PLUS and Aldi are both about 500 metres away, and Albert Heijn is 720 metres, all within a ten-minute walk.
Yes, several primary and secondary schools are close by. Basisschool De Diabolo and Basisschool Sint Ursula are both around 460-480 metres away, a five-minute walk. For secondary education, Beroepscollege Parkstad Limburg is 489 metres away, and Het Martin Buber is 643 metres.
The asking price per square metre is about €2,053 (€195,000 / 95 m²). The neighbourhood average for sold homes is €1,648 per m², but that includes larger properties. Given the smaller size and low energy label, the price per m² is on the higher side, but the total price is still the lowest in the area.
The CBS data records 82 total crimes in the neighbourhood, but without a per-capita figure or context, it is hard to judge. The area feels urban but residential, and the high address density suggests a busy, lived-in environment.
The apartment was built in 1991, so it is over 30 years old. In the neighbourhood, 57.1% of homes were built before 1945, so this is relatively modern by local standards.
