About Kerkstraat 12B, Haren Gn
The asking price of €325,000 is 63% below the average asking price in Haren-Centrum (€889,760) and well below the median of €995,000. However, the apartment has an E energy label and is from 1930, so it likely needs updating. Compared to the average price per m² in the neighbourhood (€5,309), this home comes in at about €2,621 per m², which is low. The price is keen for the area, but factor in renovation costs.
The energy label is E. This means the home is not very energy-efficient compared to modern standards. Heating costs are likely to be higher than in a home with a label A or B. In the neighbourhood, 30% of homes have a label D or lower, so an E label is not unusual for a pre-war property. You may want to consider improvements like insulation or double glazing to reduce energy bills.
The nearest supermarket is Albert Heijn, just 81 metres away on foot. An Aldi is 208 metres away, and a Jumbo is 269 metres. For organic groceries, Ekoplaza is 301 metres. Daily shopping is very convenient, with multiple options within a few minutes' walk.
The nearest primary school is Brederoschool, about 2.9 km away. Other primary schools include Groningse Schoolvereniging (3.1 km) and Joseph Haydn-School (3.2 km). For secondary education, the Montessori Vaklyceum is 3.4 km away. There is also a special education school, Kentalis Dr. J. de Graafschool, at 2.7 km.
The train station is 1.3 km from the home, which is about a ten-minute walk. This makes commuting to Groningen city centre or other destinations convenient.
