About Van der Wijckplein 21, Bergen Aan Zee
The price is on the high side compared to other apartments in Bergen (Noord-Holland), but the location in Bergen aan Zee, right by the sea, commands a premium. The 81 m² floor area and energy label C are reasonable for a 1958 build. Without comparable sales in the immediate neighbourhood, it is hard to say exactly, but the seaside setting justifies some extra cost.
The energy label is C, which is average for a home built in 1958. It means the property has reasonable insulation and heating efficiency, but you can expect moderate energy costs. It is not as efficient as a modern A-label home, but also not as costly as a G-label property.
The beach is just a few minutes' walk away, the dune park and plantsoen are only 400 metres from the door, so you can be on the sand within a five-minute stroll. The exact distance to the shoreline is not stated, but the village is built around the beach.
The nearest train station is 10.5 km away, so Bergen aan Zee is not well connected by rail. You would rely on a car or bus for longer journeys.
The closest supermarket is a Jumbo 4.6 km away, so daily shopping requires a car. The nearest school is Basisschool Honesch, just 135 metres away, a two-minute walk. Several other primary and secondary schools are within 5 km, making it feasible for families with children.
Bergen aan Zee is a very quiet village with only 335 residents, mostly older people. It has a low urbanity score (5 out of 5, meaning not urban at all). There are few amenities, but the beach and dunes are the main draw. It is ideal if you value peace and nature over city conveniences.
