Kolhoopstraat 6

The asking price of €204,950 is 51% below the neighbourhood average of €421,700, but the apartment is also 55% smaller than the average home in Emmen-Centrum (56 m² vs 124 m²). The energy label G is the least efficient, which will affect running costs. Given the compact size and low energy rating, the price is in line with what you'd expect for a small, older apartment in a central location.

The energy label is G, the lowest rating. This means the home has poor insulation and high heating costs to expect. In the neighbourhood, 20% of homes have label D or lower, so this apartment is at the bottom end of efficiency. You'll want to budget for higher energy bills compared to a more modern home.

The train station is 1.3 km from the apartment, which is about a 15-minute walk or a short cycle. This makes it feasible for commuting, though not on your doorstep.

The nearest supermarket is Jumbo at 354 metres, a five-minute walk. Other options include Ekoplaza (690 m), Dirk (818 m), Albert Heijn (917 m) and Coop (979 m), all within a ten- to twelve-minute walk. You have plenty of choice for daily groceries.

There are several primary schools within walking distance: Montessorischool Emmen (543 m), School voor Speciaal Basisonderwijs Toermalijn (832 m), school met de Bijbel (862 m), Openbare Basisschool 't Eenspan (913 m) and Groen van Prinstererschool (979 m). Secondary education is also nearby at 0.8 km.
