Vesting Muiden, Gooise Meren
AreaA calm spot in the historic heart
This apartment sits in Vesting Muiden, the old fortified town where the Vecht meets the IJmeer. The streets here are quiet and the water is never far away, which gives the area a relaxed, almost village-like feel. The home itself is a 1978 apartment with 126 square metres of living space according to the BAG registration, and the asking price of €725,000 is keen compared with the neighbourhood average. That price sits 23% below the average asking price of €942,692 for homes in this area, and it is also lower per square metre than the neighbourhood norm. For context, the average asking price per square metre in Vesting Muiden is €6,473, while this home comes in at €5,754. If you are looking at apartments in Gooise Meren, this one stands out for its price position.
The apartment itself
The listing gives no details about the layout, so it is not clear how many bedrooms or bathrooms the home has, or whether there is a garden or balcony. What is known is that the building dates from 1978 and carries an energy label C, which means the home is moderately efficient but not the most economical when it comes to heating costs. The living area is 126 square metres according to the BAG registration, and the agent does not provide a different figure. There is no mention of insulation, heating systems, or whether the property is leasehold or freehold, so those details remain open.
