Oosterdijk 1

Given the 513 m² of living space and 1,600 m² plot, the price of €274,999 works out at about €536 per m². That's on the low side for a detached home in this region, especially with water views. The energy label D means heating costs will be moderate. It's a market-rate price for the space you get.

Medemblik Zuiderzee is a tiny, quiet neighbourhood with just 20 residents, mostly over 65. It's a low-density area with only 6 homes, so you get plenty of privacy. The surroundings are green and rural, with the IJsselmeer close by. There are no shops or schools within the neighbourhood itself, but Medemblik centre is a short drive away.

The nearest supermarkets are Aldi and Albert Heijn, both about 1.2 km away, a ten-minute walk. For a larger selection, Dekamarkt is 4.4 km away. Daily shopping is doable on foot or by bike, but a car is handy for bigger trips.

The closest primary school is Basisschool Het Koggeschip at 650 metres, followed by Openbare Basisschool De Meridiaan (816 m) and Jozefschool (869 m). For secondary education, SG De Dijk is about 1 km away. All are within easy walking or cycling distance.

The nearest train station is 10.8 km away, so you'll need a car or bus for rail connections. The area is best suited for car owners.

The home has energy label D, which is average for a 1972 property. You can expect moderate energy costs, not as efficient as modern homes, but not excessively high either. Insulation improvements could help reduce bills.
