Oosterpark, Harlingen
NeighbourhoodThis detached house on Willem Bilderdijkstraat sits in a quiet residential part of Oosterpark, a neighbourhood where most homes are owner-occupied and built between 1970 and 1990. With 208 m² of living space and a 608 m² plot, it is considerably larger than the average home in the area. The asking price of €565,000 is 79% above the neighbourhood average of €315,083, which reflects the extra space and the detached character, a rare find in a market where most homes are terraced or semi-detached.

The area has a high proportion of families with children and a low density of addresses, giving it a suburban feel. For more on the area, see the neighbourhood Oosterpark page.

Not very involved with each other, almost no contact, little knowledge of each other. There are enough schools and playgrounds here, you have enough facilities to suit your lifestyle, safe enough, fortunately little happens here. You can easily get to your home here. Too bad so much greenery is being removed. The hard driving, couldn't the streets be made one-way?

About Willem Bilderdijkstraat 7, Harlingen
The asking price is 79% above the neighbourhood average of €315,083, but this home is also 62% larger than the average (208 m² vs 128 m²) and sits on a 608 m² plot. Detached homes are rare in Oosterpark, where most properties are terraced or semi-detached. Given the size and type, the price is on the high side but reflects the extra space and privacy.
The home has energy label C. That means it has reasonable insulation and energy efficiency, but not the highest standards. You can expect moderate energy bills compared to a label A home, but it is far better than a label G property. In the neighbourhood, half of the homes have label C, and a third have label A.
The nearest train station is 1.8 km away, which is about a 20-minute walk or a short cycle ride. That makes it feasible to commute by train, though you would need to check the specific connections for your route.
