A spacious apartment in the heart of Brunssum
This 154 m² apartment on Kerkstraat sits right in the centre of Brunssum, with the lively market square and restaurants just a couple of streets away. The building dates from 1962 and had an E energy label, so heating costs were something to budget for. At €179,000, the asking price was 44% below the neighbourhood average of €320,778, a keen price for the size. For context, apartments in Brunssum typically sell for around €2,446 per m². This home has not been online since 14 September 2026.

Frequently asked questions
About Kerkstraat 146, Brunssum
Was €179,000 a fair price for this apartment?
At €179,000, this apartment was priced 44% below the average asking price in Centrum (€320,778) and well under the median of €275,000. Given the 154 m² floor area, the price per m² worked out at about €1,162, significantly less than the neighbourhood average of €2,446 per m². That made it a keenly priced property for its size, though the E energy label meant higher running costs.
What is the neighbourhood like for daily life?
Centrum is a very urban neighbourhood with a high density of shops and services. The nearest supermarket (Jan Linders) is just 68 metres away, and there are several primary schools within a five-minute walk. The area has a large proportion of older residents and one-person households, so it's a quiet but central place to live. Public transport is limited, the nearest train station is 7.1 km away.
How did the energy label E affect living costs?
An E label means the home is not very energy-efficient, so you can expect higher gas and electricity bills compared to a more modern property. In Centrum, 70% of homes have a D label or lower, so this is not unusual for the area.
What schools are nearby?
There are two primary schools within a five-minute walk: Basisschool De Opstap (229 m) and Openbare Basisschool De Trampoline (279 m). For secondary education, Emmacollege (736 m) and Compass (759 m) are about a ten-minute walk away. All are within easy reach on foot.
How many homes were for sale in Centrum?
When this home was at the time on the market, there were 9 homes for sale in Centrum, with prices ranging from €144,000 to €695,000. The average asking price was €320,778, and the average floor area was 143 m². This apartment is one of the more affordable options in the neighbourhood.
Is there a garden or outdoor space?
The listing did not mention a garden, balcony, or terrace. The plot size is not stated, so it's best to assume there is no private outdoor space. The neighbourhood does have a park or public garden 0.2 km away for green space.
