About Zeskant 51, Heerlen
The asking price of €179,000 is very close to the neighbourhood average of €179,875 and the median of €177,500. Recently sold apartments in Zeswegen went for an average of €192,200, so this home is priced slightly below that. Given the compact floor area of 65 m², the price per square metre works out to about €2,754, which is higher than the neighbourhood average of €2,087 per m², reflecting the smaller size.
The energy label is C, which is average for a home built in 1983. In the neighbourhood, two-thirds of homes have label A, so this one is less efficient than many. You can expect moderate heating costs, but not as low as a modern A-label home. The label is based on the building's insulation and installations at the time of assessment.
Zeswegen has a family-friendly profile: about 405 households have children, and the average household size is 2.0. There are several primary schools within walking distance, and a park is just 200 metres away. The area is quiet and residential, with a low crime rate. It's a practical choice for families who want green space and good schools nearby.
Aldi is just 279 metres away, so daily groceries are a short walk. Albert Heijn is 673 metres away, and Jumbo is 1.3 km. A GP is 500 metres from the home, and a pharmacy is likely nearby. For dining, the nearest restaurant is 1.4 km away. The neighbourhood has a park at 200 metres, and the train station is 2.2 km, a 5-minute bike ride.
Recently sold homes in Zeswegen took an average of 44 days to sell. That's a reasonable timeframe, indicating a balanced market. With only 4 apartments currently for sale in the neighbourhood, there is limited competition, so buyers have some time to consider their options.
The nearest train station is 2.2 km away, which is about a 5-minute bike ride or a short bus trip. The station connects to Heerlen and beyond. For daily commuting, a bike is the most practical option.
With a price of €179,000 and a compact 65 m², this apartment is a realistic option for a first-time buyer. The energy label C means moderate running costs. The neighbourhood is quiet and well-served by shops and schools. However, the floor area is smaller than the local average, so it's best suited for singles or couples without children.
