About Nieuwe Steeg 2, Naarden
The asking price is 64% below the neighbourhood average of €1,093,000, but that average is based on much larger homes (152 m² on average). At 45 m², this apartment is 70% smaller, so the price per square metre is actually higher than the neighbourhood average. Given the recent construction and A label, the price is in line with what you'd expect for a compact, efficient home in a prime historic location.
The energy label is A, which is very efficient. This means the home has good insulation and modern heating, so your energy bills should be relatively low. In the neighbourhood, only 21.4% of homes have an A+ label, and none have an A label, so this apartment is among the most efficient in the area.
The nearest train station is 2.3 km away, which is about a 25-minute walk or a short cycle ride. This makes commuting to Amsterdam or Utrecht feasible, though you'd likely want a bike or car for the station run.
For daily groceries, the Albert Heijn is just around the corner (about 1 km), and a PLUS is a ten-minute walk away. There are also several restaurants within a couple of streets away, so you can easily grab a bite without going far.
