The asking price of €525,000 is in line with the market for corner houses in Bergen. With 114 m² of living space and a 206 m² plot, you get a good amount of space. The energy label C means moderate energy costs. Given the quiet location near dunes and forest, the price reflects the desirability of the area.

Saenegheest is a leafy, residential area with mostly single-family homes. Two-thirds of the housing is owner-occupied, and the population is older, over a third are 65 or older. It's quiet and well-maintained, with a village atmosphere. The area has low crime rates, with only 31 reported incidents in the neighbourhood.

The nearest train station is 4.7 km away. That's about a ten-minute drive or a 20-minute bike ride. The station connects to Alkmaar and beyond, but you'll need a bike or car to get there.

Two primary schools are within a couple of streets away: Basisschool M Wiegman (107 m) and Lucebertschool (110 m). For secondary education, the Adriaan Roland Holstschool is about a ten-minute walk (978 m). There are also several other schools within a 5 km radius.

Aldi, Dekamarkt and Albert Heijn are all about a ten-minute walk away (around 1.1-1.2 km). For a wider choice, Lidl and Vomar are within 3 km. Daily shopping is easy on foot or by bike.

The house has energy label C, which is average for a home built in 1973. You can expect moderate heating costs. The label is not the most efficient, but it's not the worst either. If you want to improve it, you could consider insulation or solar panels.
