The asking price of €350,000 is 21% below the average asking price in the neighbourhood (€440,292) and also below the median of €447,500. Given that the average sold price in the area is €622,087, this home is priced on the low side. However, it's an older property (1886) with a modest plot, so the price reflects its character and size.
The energy label is C, which is average for a home of this age. In the neighbourhood, about a third of homes have label C, and another third have a lower rating. Label C means the home is reasonably efficient but not as good as modern standards. You can expect moderate energy costs, but no specific amounts are given in the listing.
The Coop supermarket is just 91 metres away, literally on your doorstep. An Albert Heijn is 536 metres away (a five-minute walk), and an Aldi is about 958 metres away. So daily grocery shopping is very convenient.
The nearest primary school is obs Koningin Wilhelmina at 461 metres. Other primary schools within walking distance include obs Het Schateiland (604 m) and CBS Eben-Haëzer (645 m). For secondary education, Scholengroep Driestar-Wartburg is 534 metres away. All are within a ten-minute walk.
The nearest train station is 13.7 km away, so this home is not well connected by rail. You would rely on buses or a car for longer journeys. The listing does not specify bus stops, but the neighbourhood is in a small town with limited public transport.
The Voorstraat en Centrum neighbourhood has 730 residents and a mix of ages, with a slight majority of older people (29% aged 65+). Two-thirds of homes are single-family, and most are owner-occupied. It's a moderately urban area with an address density of 1,272 per km². The crime rate is low, with 32 total offences.

How residents experience their district
I mainly like the neighbourhood because I grew up here and still live here. That's why I know everything, and it's not a big neighbourhood either, which I also like. The people are okay, not a stingy neighbourhood or anything. Just few facilities for young people, like nice shops. I do think it's a shame that there is apparently one man who buys up a lot and then makes boring things out of it, like boring clothing stores for older people. As a result, the neighbourhood really becomes more for the elderly. Still, I am happy to live here because it is small and, for me, quite manageable, and it has the basics, and that's the most important thing. Accessibility by car to this neighbourhood is fine, but by public transport it's really poorly arranged. Sometimes you have to wait so long, for example at Capelse brug, for a bus here. So the public transport connection here could really be better.

How residents experience their municipality
Have lived there for 42 years with full satisfaction! Only recently nothing has been done about the front and back gardens of various houses!
Auto-translated to English by AIThe neighbourhood was always good! But a lot of people are moving away, so we'll have to wait and see what the future brings.
Auto-translated to English by AIPeople know each other and help each other, without constantly dropping by or violating each other's privacy. The houses are all about 100 years old or even older and belong to the historic village centre. The village has a lively, extensive shopping street where regular fairs and other events are organised. Here there are no large chain stores but mostly specialist quality shops that have often been run by the same family for generations. It is pleasant to live in Bergambacht

Auto-translated to English by AILovely to live here. Everything you need is nearby, the houses and surroundings are beautiful. The only downside is that it's almost impossible to find a home.
Auto-translated to English by AIStolwijk is nice to live in. However, there is very little to no opportunity to move on to an affordable 55+ home. Apartments are very scarce and terribly expensive, over €400,000, which is not feasible for us.
