About Tjaarda 108, Drachten
Yes, it's in line with the market. The average asking price in De Wiken oost is €224,000, and the median is €200,000. At €2,868 per m², it's slightly above the neighbourhood average of €2,868 per m² (the same, actually), so it's priced competitively but not over the top.
The energy label is C, which is average for a home from 1970. In the neighbourhood, 25% of homes have label C and 75% have a lower label (D or worse), so this one is relatively efficient. You can expect moderate energy costs, but nothing extreme.
The nearest train station is 20.7 km away, so this is not a location for daily commuting by train. You would rely on a car or bus for longer journeys.
