About Akerboomseweg 2, Zwammerdam
The asking price of €1,400,000 is significantly above the neighbourhood average of €905,000 and the median of €905,000. However, this home has 392 m² of floor area, which is 77% larger than the average of 221 m² in Zwammerdam Dorp. The price per m² works out at about €3,571, which is below the neighbourhood average of €4,095 per m². So while the total price is high, you are getting more space for your money.
The energy label is D. This is less efficient than most homes for sale in the neighbourhood, where the majority of properties have better labels. A D label means heating costs will be moderate, but not as low as with an A or B label. The house was built in 1955, so some energy-saving upgrades may be worth considering, but the exact costs depend on usage and future improvements.
The plot measures 783 m². The listing does not specify whether there is a garden, terrace, or other outdoor space, so you would need to check the property details or visit to see what is there. The large plot does offer potential for outdoor living, but nothing is confirmed in the listing.
Zwammerdam Dorp has a mix of households: about 34% are couples with children, 33% are couples without children, and 32% are singles. There are 135 children under 15 and 160 households with children. The area is quiet and rural, with a low crime rate (28 total offences). The nearest primary school is just 0.4 km away, and there are several within 3 km.
The nearest train station is 3.5 km from the house. The address density is very low (226 per km²), indicating a car-dependent area.

This detached house is much larger than average: 392 m² versus the neighbourhood average of 221 m². The price per m² is €3,571, which is lower than the average of €4,095. Only two homes are currently for sale in the neighbourhood, so choice is limited. Recently sold homes went for an average of €465,000, but those were likely smaller properties.
The house was built in 1955. This means it is older than most homes in the neighbourhood, where 66.7% were built between 1970 and 1990 and 33.3% after 2010. An older home may have different maintenance needs, but the listing does not provide details on the condition of the roof, insulation, or installations.
