About Kerkstraat 146, Brunssum
At €179,000, this apartment is 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 works out at about €1,162, significantly less than the neighbourhood average of €2,446 per m². That makes it a keenly priced property for its size, though the E energy label means higher running costs.
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.
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. The exact costs depend on usage, but it's worth factoring in a higher monthly energy budget.
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.
