Frequently asked questions
About T.G. Gibsonstraat 17B, Deventer
Was €375,000 a fair price for this apartment?
At €375,000, this apartment was 41% below the average asking price in Singel (€637,000) and was the cheapest of the seven homes at the time for sale in the neighbourhood. However, the floor area of 95 m² was 45% smaller than the neighbourhood average of 174 m², so the price per square metre was in line with the local market. It's a keen entry point for a historic apartment in the city centre.
What is the energy label and what does it mean?
The energy label is B, which is good for a home built in 1886. In the neighbourhood, 50% of homes have label A, 12.5% have label B, and 25% have label C. Label B meant the home was reasonably efficient, so heating costs should be manageable compared to older, uninsulated properties.
How far is the train station?
The train station is 0.5 km away, about a five-minute walk. This makes it very convenient for commuting or day trips.
What supermarkets are nearby?
Ekoplaza is 308 m away (just around the corner), Dirk is 339 m away, and Albert Heijn is 629 m away (a ten-minute walk). There's also an AH to go at 651 m and a PLUS at 854 m. Daily groceries are within easy walking distance.
What schools are in the area?
Two primary schools are within a five-minute walk: Openbare Daltonschool de Hagenpoort (279 m) and Interconfessionele Basisschool De Windroos (453 m). For secondary education, Pvo Deventer for havo and vwo is 704 m away, about a ten-minute walk.
How safe is the Singel neighbourhood?
The neighbourhood recorded 568 total crimes in the latest data. This is a relatively high figure for a city centre area with a dense population. As with any urban core, it's worth being aware of your surroundings, but the area is lively and well-frequented.
What is the neighbourhood like demographically?
Singel has 1,395 residents, with a high proportion of single-person households (540 out of 890 households). The largest age group is 25 to 45 (485 people), followed by 45 to 65 (320) and 65+ (300). It's a diverse, urban neighbourhood with a mix of ages but few families with children.
How old is the building and what condition is it in?
The building was constructed in 1886, making it over 130 years old. With an energy label B, it has likely been modernised to some extent. In the neighbourhood, 33.3% of homes were built before 1945, so this fits the historic character of the area.
