About Korte Achterweg 11A, Lekkerkerk
The asking price of €269,000 is 39% below the average asking price in the neighbourhood (€440,292). However, the apartment is also smaller than average (47 m² vs 108 m²). Given the compact size and A energy label, the price per m² works out at about €5,723, which is above the neighbourhood average of €4,648 per m². So while the total price is low, you are paying a premium for the efficient floor plan and low energy costs.
