About Gasselterstraat 7-33, Drouwen
The asking price of €185,000 is on the lower side for a detached home in this area, especially given the 83 m² floor area and C energy label. Without specific market data for the neighbourhood, it's hard to compare directly, but the price appears competitive for a home that needs some updating.
The home has energy label C, which is average for a house built in 1959. You can expect reasonable energy costs, but not the highest efficiency. Improvements like better insulation could lower bills further.
The nearest train station is 18.3 km away, so this home is not ideal for daily commuting by rail. You would rely on a car or bus for longer journeys.
The closest primary school is OBS Ekkelhof, about 780 m away, a ten-minute walk. Other primary schools within 5 km include Openbare Basisschool De Dobbe and C.K.C. De Borgh. There are no secondary schools within 5 km; the nearest is 4.2 km away.
No, the nearest supermarkets are about 3.5 km away, so you'll need a car or bike for grocery shopping. The closest are Boni, Aldi and Albert Heijn, all within a few kilometres.
Drouwen Buitengebied is a very rural area with only 100 residents, mostly older couples or singles. It's extremely quiet, with low crime and plenty of space. Amenities are limited, so a car is essential.
