About De Glazen Wagen 1, Opmeer
The asking price is 36% above the neighbourhood average of €545,800, and it is the most expensive of the five homes currently for sale in De Glazen Wagen. However, with 160 m² of floor area it is also 31% larger than the neighbourhood average of 122 m². Whether it is fair depends on how you value the extra space and the quiet location.
Energy label C is average for a home of this age (built in 1992). It means the home is reasonably efficient but not top-tier. You can expect moderate energy bills, though exact costs depend on usage and future energy prices. The neighbourhood has 75% of homes with label A+ or better, so this home is less efficient than many newer ones in the area.
De Glazen Wagen is very quiet and has few children, only about 10 residents are under 15. Most households are singles or couples without children. Primary schools are within walking distance, but secondary school is 9.2 km away. The area is car-dependent, so families with older children would need to drive them to school or activities.
Albert Heijn is just 218 m away, so you can walk there in a couple of minutes. There is also a SPAR at 1.6 km and an Aldi at 1.7 km. For daily groceries you are well covered within a short walk or drive.
The nearest train station is 4.4 km away. The address density is low (854 addresses per km²), reflecting the area's quiet, spread-out character.
The plot is 675 m², which is generous for a detached house. The listing does not specify how much of that is garden versus driveway or other outdoor space, but the plot size suggests plenty of room for a garden, patio, and possibly a lawn.
Built in 1992, the home is over 30 years old but not ancient. Energy label C suggests it has some insulation but may not have modern double glazing or a high-efficiency boiler. The listing does not mention any recent renovations, so you should assume standard maintenance is needed. No structural issues are reported in the data.
