For whom is buying in Nijverdal West a good choice?

The neighbourhood mainly appeals to movers and seniors: the largest age group is 65-plus, and many households are single-person or married without young children at home. That said, there are also families living here and there is room for starters, although an average sale price of nearly €485,000 is a significant hurdle for starters. When buying, keep in mind additional costs such as transfer tax (2% for homes above the starter exemption) and notary fees.
