Details of this home
About Meerdorpstraat 1, Hillegom
The asking price of €650,000 is 53% above the neighbourhood average of €424,913. However, this apartment is in the centre and has a floor area of 62 m², which is smaller than the neighbourhood average of 86 m². The price per square metre works out higher than the local average of €5,736. Whether it's fair depends on how much you value the central location and the character of a 1920s building.
Energy label E is the fifth-highest label on the A,G scale. It means the home is not as efficient as modern standards, so you can expect higher energy costs. In the neighbourhood, most homes for sale have better labels (over 60% are A+). The label is an official registration from EP-Online and doesn't necessarily mean the property is poorly insulated, it could be due to the heating system.
Centrum is very convenient for daily errands. There are several supermarkets within a few minutes' walk, including Dekamarkt (111 m) and Aldi (179 m). Restaurants are on your doorstep (0.1 km), and a GP is 0.5 km away. The area is urban with a high address density, so it's lively but also has a park within 0.4 km for some green space.
There are several primary schools within walking distance: Johannesschool (212 m), Daltonschool Hillegom (383 m), and De Fontein (418 m). For secondary education, Fioretti College Hillegom is 286 m away. There is also a special primary school, Savioschool, at 338 m. All are within a comfortable walk from the apartment.
The nearest train station is 2 km away, which is about a 25-minute walk or a short bike ride. The address density suggests good public transport links.
The apartment has 62 m² of living space, built in 1920. It's an apartment in a pre-war building, so it likely has high ceilings and character features, but you would need to view it to see the actual condition and layout.
