The once beautiful working-class neighbourhood is now in decay, especially the part with only rental houses. Too much "a" social control: if you sell things from your home to different people, you're already labelled a drug dealer. The Noordewierweg, what a mess; at the front near the Opidium you can already tell that the streets along this road are not doing well. Subsidence has already been recorded, also by myself. Shops are disappearing, and if something comes back, it's only "I don't understand, I'm a refugee" vibe. Activities for the youth? The municipality of Amersfoort doesn't know; nothing is done about youngsters who mess things up or destroy things. Covered bus stops have been removed. Drug dealers are present in many places in the Soesterkwartier. Everything could be better.

About Irisstraat 13, Amersfoort
The price of €480,000 is in line with the market for corner houses in Amersfoort. The home has 91 m² of living space and a 130 m² plot, which is typical for a pre-war house of this type. Without comparable sales data for the immediate neighbourhood, it's hard to say if it's a bargain, but it's not overpriced compared to similar listings.
The energy label is D, which is average for a house built in 1934. You can expect moderate energy costs, but improvements like better insulation or double glazing could bring it up to a higher label. The neighbourhood has a mix of labels, but this home's specific label is D.
