The neighbourhood is Vestinggronden-Zuid, the old fortified centre. It is densely built and very urban, with 3,224 addresses per km². The population of 1,270 is a mix: many singles (355 one-person households) and a notable share of residents aged 65 and over (420). Families with children are fewer (125 households). There are no resident reviews available for this area, so the picture comes from the data. The neighbourhood Vestinggronden-Zuid is one of the oldest parts of town, with all homes built before 1945.
Your morning bread run is just around the corner: Ekoplaza is 81 metres away, and Jumbo is a couple of streets further. For a bigger shop, Albert Heijn and Aldi are a ten-minute walk. School runs are easy too: RK Basisschool Sancta Maria is a five-minute walk, and MollerJuvenaat for secondary education is about the same distance. The train station is 1.4 km away, so a 15-minute walk or short cycle. The municipality Bergen op Zoom offers a compact city centre with restaurants and a park within a few minutes' walk.
At the time of writing the home is listed via Baas Makelaars and also appears on Pararius, so it is available through several channels. The energy label is G, which means high heating costs to expect.

About Wassenaarstraat 13, Bergen Op Zoom
The asking price of €550,000 is exactly the median for homes currently for sale in Vestinggronden-Zuid. The average price in the neighbourhood is €641,714, but that includes larger properties (average 269 m²). This apartment is 133 m², so the price per m² is about €4,135, which is higher than the neighbourhood average of €2,573 per m². Given the smaller size and central location, the price is in line with the market.
The energy label is G, the lowest rating. This means the home is not well insulated and heating costs will be high. In the neighbourhood, 57% of homes have a label D or lower, so this is not unusual for a pre-war building. You should expect significant energy bills, especially in winter.
