About Walstraat 62, Axel
The asking price is 42% below the average asking price in Kern Axel (€384,641), and also well below the median of €347,000. However, the house is smaller than average (84 m² vs 153 m²) and has an energy label F, which means higher heating costs. Given the lower floor area and older energy label, the price is in line with what you'd expect for a compact, unrenovated corner house in this village.
The energy label is F, which is one of the least efficient ratings. In the neighbourhood, 38.6% of homes have label D or lower, so this is not unusual for an older house (built 1935). You can expect higher energy bills compared to a modern home, but the exact costs depend on usage and any improvements you make.
The living area is 84 m², which is 45% smaller than the neighbourhood average of 153 m². The plot is 230 m², giving you some outdoor space. The house is a corner property, so it likely has windows on two sides, letting in more light.
Kern Axel is a quiet, low-density village centre (urbanity score 4 out of 5). One resident says: "Everything is close by. Almost everything you need is here. It is very hygienic. Education is very good." The population is mixed, with a significant share of older residents (27% aged 65+). Most homes are owner-occupied (59%), and 85% are single-family houses.
Albert Heijn is 195 m away and Aldi is 213 m, both within a couple of minutes' walk. For primary education, Sint Antoniusschool is 77 m away and Basisschool de Warande is 514 m. Secondary education is further: the nearest school is 7.1 km away, so you'd likely need to travel by car or bus.
The nearest train station is 37.1 km away, so this is not a location for daily rail commuting. You'd rely on a car or bus for longer journeys.
In 2023, there were 224 total crimes recorded in the neighbourhood. With a population of 7,075, that works out to about 32 crimes per 1,000 residents, which is moderate for a village of this size.
