About Lange Stoep 6, Lekkerkerk
The asking price is 29% above the neighbourhood average of €440,292, but the house is also 25% larger than the typical home in the area (135 m² vs 108 m²). The average price per square metre in the neighbourhood is €4,648, which would put this home at around €627,000 if priced purely on m², so the asking price is actually below that benchmark. Given the central location and generous plot, the price is in line with what similar properties have recently sold for.
The home has energy label C, which is average for a house of this age. In the neighbourhood, about a third of homes have label C, and another third have D or lower. Label C means the home is reasonably efficient but not as economical as a modern A-rated property. You can expect moderate heating costs, but it is worth noting that the house was built in 1905, so some upgrades may have been done to achieve this label.
The Coop is just 41 metres away on the same street, so you can pop out for groceries in under a minute. The Albert Heijn is 468 metres away, a five-minute walk, and there is an Aldi at 1 km. For daily shopping, you really could not be more central.
The nearest primary school, obs Koningin Wilhelmina, is 395 metres away, about a five-minute walk. There is also obs Het Schateiland at 571 metres and CBS Eben-Haëzer at 579 metres. For secondary education, Scholengroep Driestar-Wartburg is 468 metres away. All are within easy walking distance.
The nearest train station is 13.7 km away, so this is not a location for daily commuting by rail. The area is more car-dependent, though bus services may be available. The address density of 1,272 addresses per km² indicates a moderately urban setting with some local amenities within walking distance.
In the most recent data, 32 crimes were recorded in the neighbourhood. With a population of 730, that is a low crime rate. The area is predominantly residential with a mix of ages, and the historic centre tends to be quiet and family-friendly.
