About Oosterstraat 10A, Gorinchem
The asking price of €347,500 is 33% below the average asking price in Bovenstad (€516,667) and also below the median of €375,000. Given the 102 m² floor area, that works out to about €3,407 per m², which is lower than the neighbourhood average of €5,084 per m². So it's priced keenly, possibly because of the energy label D or the need for modernisation.
Energy label D is average for a pre-war apartment. It means the home is not particularly energy-efficient, so you can expect higher heating costs compared to a modern home. In Bovenstad, all currently available homes for sale have label A or better, so this one stands out as less efficient. No specific energy costs are stated in the listing.
The nearest train station is 1.4 km away, which is about a 15,20 minute walk or a short cycle ride. That's convenient for commuting to nearby cities.
In the most recent data, 66 crimes were recorded in Bovenstad. That's a moderate number for a city-centre neighbourhood.
Yes, the SPAR is just 394 metres away, so you can do your daily shopping on foot. The Coop is 660 metres away, and there are several other supermarkets within a kilometre or two, including Nettorama, PLUS and Albert Heijn.
Two primary schools are within a five-minute walk: Jenaplanschool Gorkum (433 m) and obs De Tweemaster (592 m). The Fortes Lyceum secondary school is also close by at 462 m. There are 41 schools within 5 km, so plenty of choice.
The building was constructed in 1938, so it's over 80 years old. The listing does not mention any recent renovations, so you should expect some wear and tear typical of a pre-war apartment. The energy label D also suggests that insulation and heating systems may be dated.
