There are several primary schools within walking or cycling distance, including IKC Sint Joseph (a 15-minute walk) and Kindcentrum Sint Jan (about 20 minutes on foot).

About Verlaat 2, Heerhugowaard
The asking price of €695,000 is 16% below the neighbourhood average of €831,000, and also below the median of €807,000. Given that the floor area (120 m²) is smaller than the neighbourhood average (191 m²), the price per m² works out at about €5,792, which is higher than the neighbourhood average of €4,641 per m². So while the total price is below average, you're paying a premium per square metre.
The home has energy label B, which is quite efficient. In the neighbourhood, 28.6% of homes have label A, 14.3% label B, and 28.6% label C. So this home is above average in efficiency. You can expect moderate energy bills, but not as low as an A+ label.
The plot measures 565 m², which is generous for a detached house. The listing does not specify a garden, but the plot size suggests plenty of outdoor space. You could potentially extend the home (subject to planning permission) or create a large garden. The neighbourhood has a rural character, so outdoor living is a key feature.
Buitengebied De Noord has a mix of ages: about 30% are 45-65, 21% are over 65, and 15% are under 15. There are 175 households with children, so families are present. The area is quiet with low crime (30 total offences) and plenty of green space. Primary schools are within walking distance, but secondary schools are further away (5 km).
The nearest train station is 5.8 km away, which is about a 10-minute drive or a 20-minute bike ride. This makes commuting by train less convenient than living closer to the station, but the rural setting compensates with peace and space.
The nearest supermarket (Dekamarkt) is 2 km away, about a 5-minute drive. There are several primary schools within 2-3 km, and a restaurant and library are about 2 km away. For more extensive shopping, Heerhugowaard centre is a short drive. The area is car-dependent for most errands.
In the past period, only one home sold in the neighbourhood, at €250,000, but that was likely a smaller property. The average asking price for current listings is €831,000, so this home at €695,000 is below that. The market here is thin, with only 8 homes for sale, so comparisons are limited.
The home was built in 1970, so it's over 50 years old. With energy label B, it has likely been updated with insulation or double glazing. The listing does not mention any recent renovations, so you may want to budget for updates. In the neighbourhood, 77.8% of homes were built before 1945, so this is relatively modern for the area.
