About Walnootgaarde 9, Nieuwegein
At €300,000, this apartment is priced well below the neighbourhood median of €812,500, but that reflects its smaller size (85 m² vs the average 188 m²) and energy label D. The price per square metre works out at about €3,529, which is lower than the neighbourhood average of €4,316 per m². Given that homes in Gaarden sell very quickly, typically within 2 days, the price seems keen for a buyer looking for a compact home in a quiet area.
The energy label is D, which is average for a home built in 1977. In Gaarden, half of the homes for sale have label B and half have label C, so this apartment is slightly less efficient than the current local stock. You can expect moderate heating costs, but nothing extreme. The label is based on the original construction and may be improved with insulation or a new heating system.
The Jumbo is just 11 metres away, literally on your doorstep. For other options, Albert Heijn is 643 metres (a ten-minute walk) and Lidl is 711 metres. This makes daily shopping very convenient, especially for fresh groceries.
