About Karrestraat 7B, Vlijmen
The asking price is 52% below the average asking price in Vlijmen-Dorp (€854,971) and also under the median of €550,000. However, the floor area of 77 m² is 64% smaller than the neighbourhood average of 213 m², and the energy label G means higher running costs. So the price is keen for a detached home, but you are paying for the plot and the location, not for a large or efficient house.
The energy label is G, the lowest rating. This means the home has poor insulation and likely an old heating system, so you can expect high energy bills. In the neighbourhood, 60% of homes have label A or better, so this house is an outlier. Budget for significant improvements if you want to bring the efficiency up.
The plot measures 532 m², which is generous for a house of this size. It gives you outdoor space for a garden, possibly a shed, or even an extension (subject to planning permission). The house itself is 77 m², so the plot offers room to expand or simply enjoy a larger garden.
In the most recent data, Vlijmen-Dorp recorded 150 total crimes. That is a moderate figure for a village of this size. The neighbourhood has a mix of ages and a stable population, which generally contributes to a safe, community feel.
The nearest train station is 6.9 km away. That is a drive or a bus ride rather than a walk. For daily commuting by train, you would likely need to cycle or take a bus to the station.
Yes, three primary schools are within a five-minute walk: Openbare Basisschool De Wilgen (372 m), Rooms Katholieke Basisschool Vijfhoeven (502 m), and Rooms Katholieke Basisschool de Bussel (539 m). For secondary education, the nearest school is 4.6 km away, so older children would need transport.
Jumbo is 320 m away, Albert Heijn is 416 m, and Aldi is 469 m. All three are within easy walking distance, so daily shopping is very convenient. A PLUS supermarket is 1.5 km away for more variety.
