About Frans Halsstraat 8, Kerkrade
The price is on the high side compared to other detached homes in Kerkrade, but the house is exceptionally large at 379 m² with a 682 m² plot. Energy label B also helps keep running costs lower. Whether it's fair depends on how much you value space and a quiet neighbourhood.
The energy label is B, which is quite efficient. You can expect relatively low energy bills compared to older homes with labels E, F or G. The house was built in 1978, so it likely has reasonable insulation, but not as good as a modern passive house.
The nearest train station is 1.5 km away, which is about a 15-minute walk or a short cycle. That makes commuting by train feasible, though you'd need to check the specific line connections yourself.
There are several primary schools within walking distance: Rooms Katholieke Basisschool De Blokkenberg is about 1 km away, and Basisschool Sint Ursula is 1.5 km. For secondary education, Beroepscollege Parkstad Limburg is 1.5 km away. All are within a comfortable distance for children to walk or cycle.
Haanrade has a low crime rate, with 68 total crimes recorded in the area. Residents describe it as peaceful and quiet. It's a family-friendly neighbourhood where people know each other.
The plot is 682 m², but the listing does not specify how much of that is garden versus paved area. You would need to view the property to see the outdoor space.
