Frequently asked questions
About Kerkstraat 9, Vollenhove
Is €289,000 a fair price for this apartment?
The asking price is €289,000, which is well below the neighbourhood average of €404,500. However, this apartment is also much smaller than average (66 m² vs 177 m²). The price per square metre works out at about €4,379, which is higher than the neighbourhood average of €2,714 per m². So while the total price is low, you're paying a premium per square metre for a compact home.
What is the energy label and what does it mean?
The energy label is A, which is very efficient. This means the home is well-insulated and you can expect relatively low energy bills. In the neighbourhood, half of homes have label C and half have D or lower, so this apartment stands out as being more energy-efficient than most.
How far is the nearest train station?
The nearest train station is 20.4 km away, so this is not a location for daily commuting by rail. You would rely on a car or bus for longer journeys.
What are the neighbours like?
Based on one review, residents find each other friendly but note that there is little that connects them socially. The neighbourhood has a mix of ages, with many families and older residents, so it's a quiet, polite environment rather than a lively community.
Are there good schools nearby?
Yes, there are several primary schools within walking distance. Rooms Katholieke Basisschool Sint Martinus and Openbare Dalton Basisschool De Voorpoort are both about 400 metres away. For secondary education, the nearest school is 10.6 km away, so older children would need to travel further.
How many homes like this are for sale in the neighbourhood?
At the time of writing, only two homes are for sale in Vollenhove, with an average price of €404,500. This apartment is the cheapest available, but also the smallest. The market here is not very active, with 19 sales in the past period taking an average of 33 days to sell.
