About Maesdammerlaan 11G, Bergen (Nh)
At 55 m², the price per square metre is around €6,891, which is above the average for apartments in Bergen. The energy label G means higher energy costs, so factor that into your budget. Without comparable sales data for the immediate neighbourhood, it's hard to say if it's keen or overpriced, but it's certainly not a bargain.
Label G is the least efficient rating, so you can expect high heating and electricity bills. The home was built in 1861, so it likely has poor insulation and single glazing. Budget for significant energy costs and consider potential improvements like insulation or double glazing, though these would require investment.
The nearest train station is 5.2 km away, so it's not within walking distance. You'd need a bike, car, or bus to reach it. The station itself is not named in the listing, but the distance means commuting by train requires planning.
Dekamarkt is just around the corner (582 m), and Albert Heijn and Aldi are within a couple of streets away (714 m and 731 m). A restaurant is 0.6 km away, and a park is 0.4 km. For daily needs, you're well covered without a car.
The CBS data records 11 total crimes in the neighbourhood, which is low for an area of this size. The population is older and the area is quiet, so it feels safe. However, no specific crime breakdown is available.
Several schools are within walking distance: PCC Bergen (310 m), Adriaan Roland Holstschool (489 m), and Vrije School Noord Holland (586 m) for secondary education. For primary, Bosschool is 868 m away and PCBS Willem-Alexander is 992 m. All are within a ten-minute walk.
