About Noorderrand 32, Espel
At €289,000, this is the cheapest home currently for sale in Espel-woonkern and 38% below the neighbourhood's average asking price of €467,286. However, the floor area (103 m²) is 30% smaller than the neighbourhood average of 148 m², and the energy label G means higher running costs. Compared to recent sales in the area (average €343,300), the price looks competitive, but the poor energy rating is a factor to weigh.
The energy label is G, the lowest rating. This means the home has poor insulation and inefficient heating, so you can expect high energy bills. In the neighbourhood, most homes for sale have better labels: 14% are A+, 14% A, and 57% B. Only 14% are D or lower. Upgrading the insulation and heating would be a significant investment.
Espel-woonkern is a small, rural village with about 1,030 residents. It's very quiet (urbanity score 5, the lowest) and almost all homes are single-family houses. One resident calls it a "lively neighbourhood" with no arguments. Most homes are owner-occupied, and the area feels safe with only 20 total crimes reported. It's a close-knit community, but amenities are limited.
There are two primary schools within 5 km. Oecumenische basisschool De Ark is just 71 metres away, so very walkable. De Akkerbloem is 4.3 km away. For secondary education, the nearest school is 8 km away, so a longer commute is needed. There is also a child daycare at 0.4 km.
The closest supermarket is a SPAR about 4.3 km away. Other options include Albert Heijn (5.8 km), Poiesz (6.3 km), and Jumbo (6.6 km). Since there's no supermarket within walking distance, a car or bike is essential for grocery shopping.
The nearest train station is 30.8 km away, so commuting by rail is not practical.
