About Veerpoortdijk 77, Doesburg
The asking price of €489,000 is about 20% below the neighbourhood average of €611,194, which suggests it is priced keenly. However, the apartment's floor area of 103 m² is 46% smaller than the neighbourhood average of 190 m², so the price per square metre is actually higher than average. Whether it's fair depends on how you value the modern build and central location against the smaller size.
The apartment has an energy label B, which is quite efficient. In the neighbourhood, only about 15% of homes have a label B or better, so this is a good score. You can expect reasonable heating and electricity costs, though exact amounts depend on your usage.
