About Kruisstraat 49, Werkendam
The asking price of €475,000 is in line with the market for a detached house of this size and age in Centrum Werkendam. The home has a 240 m² plot and an energy label C, which adds to its value. Without comparable sales data for the neighbourhood, it is hard to say whether it is a bargain, but the price appears reasonable given the property's characteristics.
Energy label C means the home is reasonably energy-efficient. You can expect moderate heating costs, but it is not as efficient as a modern A-label home. The label is based on the building's insulation, glazing and heating system. Given the 1905 construction year, some upgrades may have been done, but you should check the exact details with the agent.
The nearest train station is 10 km away, so this home is not ideal for daily commuting by train. You would likely need a car or bus for longer journeys. The area is more suited to those who work locally or drive.
There are several primary schools within walking distance. Het Baken is about 667 m away, Ds Johannes Groenewegenschool is 786 m, and OBS Sigmond and CBS 't Kompas are both around 840 m. For secondary education, the nearest school is 5 km away, so older children may need to travel further.
MCD is just 110 m away, perfect for daily groceries. Albert Heijn is 807 m (a ten-minute walk), and Aldi is about 1 km. For a wider selection, there are 11 supermarkets within 5 km.
Centrum Werkendam recorded 46 criminal incidents in total, which is low for a village centre. The area feels calm and residential, with a mix of ages and a low urban density. It is a safe place to live.
