About Noorderkade 18D, Alkmaar
The asking price of €399,000 is 23% below the average asking price in Overstad (€516,247), so it is on the keen side. However, the apartment is also smaller than average (62 m² vs 93 m²). Given the new-build quality and A++ energy label, the price per m² works out to about €6,435, which is above the neighbourhood average of €5,761 per m². So while the total price is low, you are paying a premium for the modern finish.
The energy label is A++, the highest possible rating. This means the home is extremely energy-efficient, with excellent insulation and likely a heat pump or similar system. Your heating and electricity bills will be very low compared to older homes. In Overstad, 88% of homes have label A+ or better, so this is in line with the neighbourhood.
The train station is 1.1 km away, which is about a ten-minute walk. That makes it easy to commute to Amsterdam or other cities without needing a car.
