About Stationsweg 247, Drachten
At €350,000, this home is priced below the neighbourhood median of €375,000 and well under the average of €408,333. Given that the living area (119 m²) is much smaller than the neighbourhood average of 987 m², the price per m² works out higher than average, but for a detached house in Drachten it is still a relatively affordable option.
The home has energy label D. This is a mid-range label, meaning the property is not particularly energy-efficient. You can expect higher heating costs compared to a modern home with a better label. In the neighbourhood, two-thirds of homes have label D or lower, so this is fairly typical for the area.
The nearest train station is 17.9 km away, so this is not a location for daily commuting by rail. You would rely on a car or bus for longer journeys. The bus network in Drachten does connect to the station, but it is a significant distance.
Primary school OBS De Bolder is a five-minute walk away (663 m), and there are several special-education schools within walking distance, including Kentalis De Skelp (120 m) and De Saffier (531 m). For secondary education, the nearest school is about 2 km away, so older children would need to cycle or take the bus.
The neighbourhood recorded 38 total crimes in the latest data, which for a population of around 1,500 is a moderate figure. It is not a high-crime area, but as with any urban neighbourhood, it is worth checking recent trends. The area has a mix of families and older residents, which generally contributes to a stable community.
The listing does not mention a garden, but the plot is 263 m², which is typical for a detached house of this age. The outdoor space is likely a private yard, but you would need to confirm the exact layout and condition with the agent.
