About Merwedestraat 81, Dordrecht
At €195,500, this is the cheapest apartment currently for sale in Noorderkwartier. The average asking price in the neighbourhood is €205,417, and the median is €204,000. Given that the home is 50 m² with an energy label C, the price per square metre works out at €3,910, which is slightly above the neighbourhood average of €3,567 per m². So it's priced keenly overall, but the per-square-metre figure is a touch higher than the local norm.
The energy label is C, which is average for a home of this age. In Noorderkwartier, about a third of homes have label C, while the rest are rated D or lower. A C label means the home is reasonably efficient, but you can expect moderate heating costs. It's not as efficient as a modern A-rated home, but it's better than the older stock in the area.
Noorderkwartier is a compact, urban neighbourhood with a good range of amenities. There are two supermarkets (Aldi and Jumbo) within a five-minute walk, and several primary schools nearby. The area has a park or public garden just a couple of streets away, and the waterfront is close by. One resident describes it as "a nice up-and-coming neighbourhood with a beautiful waterfront and nice parks nearby."
The nearest train station is 2.5 km away, which is about a 30-minute walk or a short cycle. For longer journeys, Dordrecht's main station is a short bike ride away.
The listing does not state the number of rooms. The floor area is 50 m², which typically accommodates one or two bedrooms, but the exact layout is not provided by the agent.
The listing does not mention a garden, balcony, or terrace. The plot size is not stated, so it's unclear whether there is any private outdoor space. The neighbourhood has a park just 0.1 km away, so there is green space nearby.
The CBS data records 19 total crimes in the neighbourhood, but without a per-capita figure or context, it's hard to judge. The area has a mix of residents and is described by one resident as "up-and-coming." As with any urban area, it's worth visiting at different times to get a feel for the street.
