About Kerkstraat 12, Merkelbeek
At 100 m² and with an energy label G, the price of €575,000 is on the high side compared to other apartments in Beekdaelen. The home is in a quiet village with low crime rates, but the poor energy efficiency means higher monthly costs. You would be paying a premium for the spacious floor area and the rural setting.
Energy label G is the least efficient rating, so you can expect high heating and electricity costs. The home was built in 1960 and likely lacks modern insulation. It is worth budgeting for significant energy expenses, though exact amounts depend on usage and future improvements.
The nearest train station is 5.4 km away, so you would need a car or bus for rail connections. The area is not well served by public transport, making it more suitable for those who drive.
