About Hoogstraat 105B, Werkendam
The asking price of €359,000 is in line with what other apartments in Altena sell for. Given the generous 124 m² floor area and the central location in Werkendam, it's a reasonable price, though the energy label G means you'll have higher heating costs to budget for.
Energy label G is the lowest rating, so the home is not energy-efficient. You can expect high heating bills, and the property likely lacks modern insulation or double glazing. It's something to factor into your running costs, but it also means there's potential to improve the label with renovations.
The nearest train station is 10 km away, so it's not within walking distance. You'd need a car or bus to reach it. The area is more car-dependent, but there are bus connections from Werkendam to nearby towns.
There are several primary schools within a short walk: OBS Sigmond and CBS 't Kompas are both about 600 m away, and Ds Johannes Groenewegenschool is around 700 m. For secondary education, the nearest school is 5 km away, so a longer commute is needed.
