About Van Alkemadelaan 15, Limmen
The asking price of €475,000 is below the average sale price of €655,000 for homes sold recently in Limmen Oost. However, those sold homes were likely larger or more modern, the data shows all sold homes in the neighbourhood have energy label A, while this one is D. Given the 100 m² floor area and 1969 construction, the price seems in line with the market, not a bargain but not overpriced either.
Energy label D is average for a house of this age. It means the home is not as efficient as modern builds, so you can expect higher heating bills compared to an A-rated home. The exact costs depend on usage and energy prices, but it is worth factoring in some extra for gas and electricity.
The nearest train station is 4.2 km away, which is about a ten-minute drive or a 15-minute bike ride. This makes commuting by train feasible but not walkable. The station connects to Alkmaar and Haarlem, among other destinations.
Kindcentrum De Kerkuil, a primary school, is just 121 metres away, literally on your doorstep. Another primary school, Kindcentrum HET KLEURENORKEST, is about 1 km away. For secondary education, the nearest school is 4 km away, so children would need to travel further for high school.
Limmen Oost recorded 37 total crimes in the latest data, which is low for a neighbourhood of about 2,150 residents. The area feels quiet and residential, with a mix of families and older residents. No specific crime hotspots are mentioned in the data.
The plot is 253 m², which is a decent size for a corner house. It includes the house footprint and likely a garden, though the listing does not specify garden details. You would have space for outdoor seating, a lawn, or planting, but check the exact layout with the agent.
