Boukoul, Roermond
NeighbourhoodThis detached house on Graaf Wolff Metternichlaan sits in a leafy part of Swalmen, where the streets are quiet and the gardens are generous. With 141 m² of living space on a 450 m² plot, there is room to spread out. The energy label B means it is reasonably efficient. The asking price of €549,000 is 36% above the average asking price in the neighbourhood, which puts it on the high side compared to other detached houses in Roermond.
Boukoul is a small neighbourhood with just over 1,000 residents. Almost all homes are single-family houses, and most are owner-occupied. The population is a mix of families with children and older residents, giving the area a settled, family-friendly feel. There are no neighbourhood reviews available for this area, so the picture comes from the statistics: a low crime rate (16 incidents in total) and a very low address density (151 addresses per km²), which means it feels spacious and rural. The Boukoul neighbourhood is one of the quieter corners of Swalmen.
For daily shopping, the nearest supermarket is Jan Linders, about a ten-minute walk away. There are several other supermarkets within a couple of kilometres, including Lidl and AH XL. Primary school children can walk to Basisschool Sint Theresia, which is just a couple of streets away. For secondary education, the nearest school is about 2.7 km away, so a bike ride or car trip is needed. The train station is 3.3 km away, which is a short drive or cycle. The municipality of Roermond covers a wide area, so having a car is handy for getting around.
At present, the home is listed through two channels: Wij Makelaars and Wij Makelaars. The listing has been available for a while, so there is no immediate pressure to act.

About Graaf Wolff Metternichlaan 32, Swalmen
The asking price of €549,000 is 36% above the average asking price in Boukoul, which is €403,250. The average price per m² in the neighbourhood is €3,692, so for 141 m² that would come to about €520,000. The home is priced above that, partly because it is a detached house on a 450 m² plot. Whether it is fair depends on how much you value the extra space and the quiet location.
Boukoul is a small, quiet neighbourhood with mostly single-family homes and a low population density. It feels rural and spacious. Most residents are families or older people, and the crime rate is very low. There are no shops or schools within the neighbourhood itself, but the centre of Swalmen is a short drive away.
The nearest supermarket is Jan Linders, about 1.9 km away, roughly a ten-minute walk. Other supermarkets within 2.5 km include Lidl, AH XL, Aldi, and SPAR express. For a full weekly shop, you would probably drive or cycle.
The closest primary school is Basisschool Sint Theresia, just 222 m away, a short walk. Two other primary schools are within 2.3 km. For secondary education, the nearest school is BC Broekhin Roermond at 2.7 km, so children would need to cycle or be driven.
The train station is 3.3 km from the home. That is about a 10-minute bike ride or a 5-minute drive. There is no direct bus connection mentioned in the listing, so a car or bicycle is the most practical option.
The home has energy label B, which means it is reasonably energy-efficient. You can expect lower heating costs compared to older homes with labels D or lower. The exact running costs depend on usage, but label B is a good sign.
The exact layout and size of the garden are not described in the listing, but with a plot that size, there is certainly outdoor space.
With 141 m² of living space, a detached house of this size usually has at least three bedrooms, but you would need to check the floor plan with the agent.
