About Oude Haven 36B, Schoonhoven
The asking price is slightly above the neighbourhood average of €569,565 and well above the median of €509,500. However, the home has an A+ energy label, which is rare in an area where 62.9% of homes were built before 1945. The 73 m² floor area is 44% smaller than the neighbourhood average of 131 m², so you are paying a premium for the historic location and energy efficiency.
The home has an energy label A+, which is the highest rating. This means the property is very energy-efficient, with low heating costs and a minimal environmental footprint. In the neighbourhood, only 37.8% of homes have A+ or better, so this is a standout feature for a 1910 building.
The nearest train station is 13.2 km away, so this home is not ideal for a daily rail commute. You would rely on a car or bus for longer journeys. The neighbourhood itself is well served by local amenities within walking distance.
The neighbourhood has a mix of ages, with 405 households with children out of a total of 1,871 homes. Primary schools are within a few minutes' walk, and secondary education is about 1.2 km away. The area is quiet and historic, with a park nearby, but the compact apartment may suit singles or couples more than larger families.
There are currently 46 homes for sale in Schoonhoven-Oude Stad, with prices ranging from €265,000 to €1,500,000. The average time on the market for sold homes is 55 days, which suggests a steady but not frantic market.
The neighbourhood recorded 128 total crimes, which is moderate for an urban area with 3,705 residents. The historic centre is generally considered safe, with a visible community presence.
The Oude Haven is a picturesque quay, but it can be busy with tourists and events. Parking may be limited, and the historic buildings can require more maintenance. The resident review notes that finding a home in the area is difficult, reflecting low turnover.
