Bakel, Gemert-Bakel
NeighbourhoodThis corner house on Irenestraat sits in the heart of Bakel, a village where life moves at a gentler pace. With 139 m² of living space and an energy label A, it combines space with efficiency. The asking price of €425,000 is 37% below the average asking price in the neighbourhood, which makes it a keen option compared to other end-of-terrace houses in Gemert-Bakel.
Bakel is a village where people know each other, sometimes a little too well, as one resident notes: "There is a lot of gossip, which usually happens in a village, sometimes things that aren't true." The same resident also points out the limited public transport: "there is only one bus per hour and it's mostly always full in the mornings, there is also one neighbourhood bus to Gemert which is always late or doesn't come." Still, the neighbourhood scores a 7.63 out of 10 based on one review. The area is mostly families and older residents, with a mix of single-person households and couples. The municipality Gemert-Bakel covers a wider area, but Bakel itself feels self-contained.
For your morning bread, Aldi is just around the corner, and Jumbo is a couple of streets away. Two primary schools are within easy walking distance: De Kleine Kapitein is just around the corner, and Kindcentrum De Bakelaar is a five-minute walk. A GP and a restaurant are also a couple of streets away, so most daily needs are covered without a car. The train station is 6.5 km away, so you'll rely on a bike or car for longer journeys.
At the time of writing the home is listed only via Van Helvoort Makelaardij.
