About Zuid-Oostsingel 1C, Bergen Op Zoom
The asking price is 61% below the neighbourhood average of €641,714, but the apartment is also much smaller than the local norm (60 m² versus 269 m² average). The price per square metre works out at about €4,150, which is above the neighbourhood average of €2,573 per m². So while the total price is low, you are paying a premium for the small size and central location.
The home has energy label A, which is very efficient. That means heating costs should be relatively low, and the property is well insulated. This is unusual for a building from 1879, most homes in the neighbourhood have labels D or lower (57.1% are D or below).
Very convenient. Ekoplaza is just 177 metres away, Jumbo at 350 metres, and Albert Heijn and Aldi within a ten-minute walk. There are also several restaurants within a couple of hundred metres, so you won't need to go far for essentials or a meal out.
Primary schools RK Basisschool Gummarus and RK Basisschool Sancta Maria are both about a five-minute walk away. For secondary education, MollerJuvenaat is 621 metres away, also walkable. There is also a special education school, Auris Montaal, at 623 metres.
Bergen op Zoom station is 1.4 km from the apartment, which is about a fifteen-minute walk or a short cycle ride. That makes it feasible for commuting without a car.
The address density is 3,224 per km², which classifies the area as very strongly urban (level 1 out of 5). You are in the historic centre, so expect busy streets, shops, and restaurants right outside your door.
