Frequently asked questions
About Zeskant 51, Heerlen
Was €179,000 a fair price for this apartment?
The asking price of €179,000 was 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 was priced slightly below that. Given the compact floor area of 65 m², the price per square metre worked out to about €2,754, which was higher than the neighbourhood average of €2,087 per m², reflecting the smaller size.
What is the energy label and what does it mean?
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. The label is based on the building's insulation and installations at the time of assessment.
How is the neighbourhood for families?
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.
What shops and amenities are 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.
How long do homes typically stay on the market here?
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 at the time for sale in the neighbourhood, there was limited competition, so buyers had some time to consider their options.
What is the public transport like?
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.
Is the apartment suitable for a first-time buyer?
With a price of €179,000 and a compact 65 m², this apartment was a realistic option for a first-time buyer. The energy label C meant 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.
