About Zwartwatersweg 107, Assen
The asking price of €235,000 is 45% below the neighbourhood average of €424,167, which makes it a keen price for the area. However, the apartment is also smaller than average (70 m² vs 121 m²), so the price per m² works out to about €3,357, slightly below the neighbourhood average of €3,493 per m². Given the compact size and the lower total price, it is in line with what you would expect for a smaller home in Zwarte Water.
The energy label is C, which is average for a home of this age (built in 1965). In the neighbourhood, 42.9% of homes have label C, so this is typical. A C label means the home has reasonable insulation and heating efficiency, but you can expect moderate energy costs, not as low as an A label, but not as high as a G label either.
The train station is 3 km away, which is about a 7-minute drive or a 15-minute bike ride. It is not within walking distance for most people, but the bike ride is manageable.
