About Wouwsestraatweg 2A, Bergen Op Zoom
At €279,000, this is the cheapest home currently for sale in Gageldonk-West and 23% below the neighbourhood average asking price of €364,000. However, the floor area of 61 m² is 49% smaller than the average of 120 m² in the area. So you're paying less, but for a significantly smaller home. The price per square metre works out at about €4,574, which is higher than the neighbourhood average of €3,189 per m², so the price is keen in absolute terms but not necessarily cheap per square metre.
The energy label is E. That means the home is not very energy-efficient, so you can expect higher heating and electricity bills compared to a home with a better label. In Gageldonk-West, 40% of homes have a label D or lower, so this is not unusual for the area. It's worth factoring in potential costs for insulation or heating upgrades.
Gageldonk-West is a very urban neighbourhood with a high density of addresses. There are supermarkets within walking distance, Ekoplaza at 500 m and Jumbo at 670 m, and a GP surgery 500 m away. Primary and secondary schools are also close by. The train station is 700 m away, so commuting by rail is convenient. However, resident reviews mention it's a busy multicultural area with some challenges.
In the most recent data, there were 226 total crimes reported in the neighbourhood. That's a relatively high number for a neighbourhood of 5,150 residents, but it's important to note that crime figures can vary year to year. The area is densely populated, which can contribute to higher numbers. You may want to check local police statistics for a more detailed picture.
Homes that sold recently in Gageldonk-West were on the market for an average of 40 days. That's a fairly typical timeframe, not exceptionally fast, but not slow either. The current listing is priced below average, which might attract interest, but the small size could limit the pool of buyers.
The nearest train station is 700 m away, about a ten-minute walk. That makes it easy to reach other cities. The high address density (2,968 per km²) suggests good public transport coverage.
