About H.B. Hulsmanstraat I 32B, Nieuwe Pekela
The asking price of €299,500 is well below the neighbourhood average of €669,000 for available homes, but that average is based on just one other listing. Recently sold homes in the area went for an average of €278,000, so the price is in line with recent sales. The energy label F may mean higher running costs, which is reflected in the price.
Energy label F is the second-lowest rating, so you can expect higher energy costs compared to more efficient homes. The label is an official registration (EP-Online) and does not directly indicate the condition of insulation or installations. In the neighbourhood, all other available homes have label A+, so this home stands out in terms of energy performance.
Boven-Pekela is a family-friendly neighbourhood with many households with children and a low crime rate (5 incidents total). The area is quiet and rural, with a strong sense of community. The nearest primary school is within walking distance, but secondary schools and supermarkets are a drive away.

The house was built in 1929. The listing does not provide details about the condition of the roof, plumbing, or electrical systems. A structural survey would be advisable, but the listing itself gives no information beyond the build year.

How residents experience their municipality
My experience is that it's very quiet in the neighbourhood and always cosy with all the neighbours. There are many young people in the area and there is also a secondary school. It's quite clean, everything is nearby and accessible by public transport, car or bike. The nature is also very beautiful and there is a nice forest here.
