Very central living in a green environment in a child-friendly neighbourhood.
Auto-translated to English by AI-quiet, quite a lot of elderly people live here which is very nice because usually there are no loud parties late at night or anything like that. -make lots of friends, big age range but they also live very spread out across the Rivierenbuurt, so it's quiet but you can still make friends. -cosy, occasional neighbourhood party and as far as I know everyone gets along just fine.

About Merwedeplantsoen 116, Heemstede
At 86 m², that works out to about €4,360 per m², which is typical for an apartment in Heemstede. The F energy label means higher energy costs, so factor that in. Without comparable sales data for the immediate neighbourhood, it's hard to say if it's a bargain, but it's not out of line with the local market.
Residents describe it as green, quiet and child-friendly. It's a low-density area with mostly owner-occupied homes, and a mix of ages, including many elderly residents, which keeps things peaceful. There's a friendly, cosy atmosphere with occasional neighbourhood events.
The nearest train station is 2.5 km away, so it's about a 30-minute walk or a short cycle. That makes it manageable for commuting, but not right on your doorstep.
SPAR is less than 1 km away, so you can walk there in about 10 minutes. Aldi is just over 1 km, and there are several other supermarkets within a couple of kilometres, including Dekamarkt and PLUS.
An F label is quite inefficient, so you can expect higher gas and electricity bills compared to a more modern home. The exact amount depends on usage, but it's worth budgeting for higher energy costs.
Yes, there are several primary schools within walking distance, such as Katholieke Basisschool De Ark and De Evenaar, both about 1 km away. Secondary schools are a bit further, at around 2.2 km.
