The asking price of €425,000 is slightly above the neighbourhood average of €419,111 and the median of €390,000. However, end-of-terrace houses in Alkmaar are relatively scarce, and the home's central location and character may justify the premium. Recently sold homes in the neighbourhood averaged €385,700, so the price is on the higher side but not unreasonable.
The energy label is E, which is an official registration from EP-Online. Label E is the second-lowest efficiency rating, meaning the home is not very energy-efficient. You can expect higher heating and electricity costs compared to homes with better labels. Most homes for sale in Spoorbuurt have a better energy label, so this is a point to consider.

How residents experience their municipality
Nare buurt. Veel wantrouwen tussen de bewoners. Veel geluidsoverlast dag en nacht. Veel straatvuil. Mensen zetten vuil naast de ondergrondse afval containers. De angst regeert. Mensen spreken elkaar niet aan op gedrag. Voortuinen vol tegels. De huizen zijn oud en gehorig.
Auto-translated to English by AIIt's every man for himself, no cleaning up, just making a mess, not looking out for each other or taking each other into consideration.

Auto-translated to English by AIAll facilities in the neighbourhood, nice neighbours, only shame about the youth causing unrest. And that the youth don't clean up their mess, so very unhygienic in the neighbourhood. Cleaning up a bit works wonders.

Auto-translated to English by AIHave lived here for 43 years. Since the completion. It used to be a cosy, friendly neighbourhood. Now you could lie dead in your house and no one would notice. I'm from Amsterdam and I'm not used to this. Here it's every man for himself and God for us all.
