About Raadhuisstraat 2E, Brunssum
The asking price is €695,000, which is 117% above the average asking price in the neighbourhood (€320,778). It's also the most expensive home currently for sale in Centrum. However, the apartment is 38% larger than the neighbourhood average (197 m² vs 143 m²), so the price per square metre is actually in line with the market. Whether it's fair depends on how much you value the extra space and central location.
The energy label is C. This means the home has reasonable energy efficiency, but not top-tier. You can expect moderate energy costs. In the neighbourhood, 30% of homes have label C, while 70% have a lower label (D or worse), so this apartment is better than most in the area.
The nearest train station is 7.1 km away, so it's not within walking distance. You would need a car or bus to reach it.
There are several primary schools within a five-minute walk: Basisschool De Opstap (351 m), Openbare Basisschool De Trampoline (401 m), and RK BS De Caleidoscoop (453 m). For secondary education, Emmacollege and Compass are about a ten-minute walk away (658 m and 680 m respectively).
The neighbourhood recorded 77 total crimes in the latest data. With 635 residents, that's a rate of about 12 per 100 people. This is something to consider, though crime figures can vary year to year. The area is urban and busy, which can have both positive and negative effects on safety.
Given the size and price, this apartment is likely to appeal to buyers who want a spacious home in a central location without the need for a garden. The neighbourhood has many single-person households and older residents, but the apartment itself could suit a couple or someone who works from home and needs extra space.
