About Wilgenstraat 40, Ijmuiden
At 83 m², that works out to roughly €4,795 per m². In the Tussenbeeksbuurt, that's on the higher side compared to the neighbourhood average, but the size and central location within IJmuiden help explain it. Without more comparable sales data, it's hard to call it a bargain, but it's not outlandish either.
Energy label D is average for a home of this age. It means the insulation and heating are adequate but not modern. You can expect reasonable energy bills, though upgrading to a better label would improve comfort and efficiency. The exact costs depend on usage and future improvements.
The nearest train station is 3 km away, which is about a 10-minute drive or a 30-minute walk. For daily commuting by train, you'd likely cycle or take a bus to the station. The distance is manageable but not within walking distance for most people.
Several secondary schools are within walking distance: Vellesan College (319 m), Technisch College Velsen (425 m), and Gymnasium Felisenum (446 m). For primary education, Sint Franciscus-School is 454 m away. That makes the area convenient for families with school-age children.
With 47 total crimes reported in the area, the crime rate is low. The neighbourhood has a balanced population and a family-oriented character, which contributes to a safe, quiet atmosphere. It's the kind of place where you feel comfortable walking around in the evening.
Albert Heijn is 713 m away, just around the corner, and Vomar is 992 m away. For more variety, Dekamarkt is 1.1 km. That covers daily groceries without needing a car. The area has 26 supermarkets within 5 km, so plenty of choice.
