The energy label is D, so heating costs will be something to factor in. At €389,000, the asking price is a touch above the neighbourhood average of €364,000, but for a detached property that's not unusual, detached houses in Bergen op Zoom tend to command a premium.

About Elsstraat 5, Bergen Op Zoom
The asking price is €389,000, which is slightly above the neighbourhood average of €364,000 and the median of €350,000. However, detached homes are rare in Gageldonk-West, only 68% of homes are single-family, and this one has a generous 148 m² floor area. Compared to the average price per m² of €3,189, this home works out at about €2,628 per m², which is below that benchmark. So the price seems in line with what you'd expect for a detached property in this area.
The energy label is D. That means the home is not particularly energy-efficient, you can expect higher heating bills compared to a modern home. In the neighbourhood, 40% of homes have a label D or lower, so this is fairly typical for a house built in 1928. If you're looking to improve efficiency, you could consider insulation or double glazing, but those are choices for later.
The train station is 0.7 km away, which is about a ten-minute walk. That makes it easy to reach other cities without needing a car.
The nearest primary school, RK Basisschool Gummarus, is just 92 metres away, literally on your doorstep. For secondary education, Curio isk Bergen op Zoom is 411 metres away, a five-minute walk. There are also several other schools within a short distance, including a special education school and an Islamic primary school.
Ekoplaza is 652 metres away, just around the corner. Jumbo is 823 metres away, a couple of streets further. Albert Heijn and Aldi are also within about a kilometre, so daily shopping is convenient.
The neighbourhood recorded 226 total crimes, which is relatively high for a residential area. Resident reviews mention problems with integration and a busy atmosphere. However, the area is also described as multicultural and developing, with new construction ongoing. It's worth visiting at different times to get a feel for the street.
