About Kievitstraat 11, Alkmaar
The asking price of €325,000 is 34% below the neighbourhood average of €491,125, but the home is also smaller than average (63 m² vs 104 m²). The price per square metre works out to about €5,159, which is slightly above the neighbourhood average of €4,832 per m². So while the total price is low, you're paying a bit more per square metre for a compact home.
The home has energy label D. This is a mid-range label, not particularly efficient, but not the worst either. You can expect moderate heating costs. In the neighbourhood, about a third of homes have label A, a third label C, and a third label D or lower, so this home is on the lower end of the scale.
The train station is 1.5 km away, which is about a fifteen-minute walk or a short cycle ride. This makes commuting by train quite convenient from this home.
Based on two reviews, residents describe the neighbourhood as quiet and mixed in age. One resident mentions few burglaries and that greenery is a short drive away. Another notes a mix of young and old, with all facilities available locally. The area has many families and single-person households.
The plot size is 68 m², but the listing does not specify whether there is a garden. The home is an end-of-terrace house, so it likely has some outdoor space, but this is not confirmed in the listing.
With 63 m² of floor area, it could have two or three bedrooms, but you would need to check the layout with the agent.
Several primary schools are within walking distance: Openbare Basisschool De Zes Wielen (744 m), Rooms Katholieke Basisschool Matthias (846 m), and Sint Adelbertusschool (904 m). For secondary education, Vonk Alkmaar is 967 m away. All are about a ten-minute walk.
One resident review mentions "few burglaries" and describes the area as decent. The total number of recorded crimes in the neighbourhood is 68, but without context it's hard to compare. Overall, the reviews suggest it's a quiet and safe area.
