Dorpsstraat en omgeving, Koggenland
NeighbourhoodThis end-of-terrace house on Dorpsstraat in Obdam has a classic feel, with its 1915 build and generous 177 m² of floor space. The energy label F means heating costs will be something to budget for. At €425,000, the price is on the high side compared to other end-of-terrace houses in Koggenland, but the size and character may justify it.
One resident describes the neighbourhood Dorpsstraat en omgeving as 'very cosy, but also outdated', adding: 'I experience the neighbourhood as very pleasant. Everyone is friendly.' They appreciate village events like the market on Dorpsstraat, but note a lack of rubbish bins and a need for more green initiatives. The area has a mix of ages, with many older residents and a fair share of families.
For groceries, you have a Dekamarkt and an Albert Heijn both just around the corner. Two primary schools are within walking distance: RK Basisschool de Caegh a couple of streets away and De Kelderswerf a ten-minute walk. The train station is also just around the corner, handy for commutes. The municipality Koggenland offers a rural setting with essential amenities close by.

I experience the neighbourhood as very pleasant. Everyone is friendly, even though I don't know anyone. I sometimes find that a pity. Recently we had a market on the Dorpsstraat and then I felt very connected to my village. Events like that are very nice. By car, everything is just harder to reach than by bike. I also miss rubbish bins on the Dorpsstraat. You can hardly find any. That's why there is often litter on the pavement. Also, households should be encouraged more to install solar panels and remove as many paving stones as possible. Also, more charging points for electric cars should be installed in parking lots. Those are all tips to make it greener, but it's not that the neighbourhood is bad now.

About Dorpsstraat 122, Obdam
The asking price of €425,000 is slightly below the neighbourhood average of €474,000, but above the median of €452,500. Given the 177 m² floor area, the price per m² works out to about €2,401, which is well below the neighbourhood average of €3,342 per m². So it's priced keenly for its size, though the energy label F and 1915 build mean you'll have higher running costs.
Dorpsstraat en omgeving is a quiet, friendly village area with a mix of ages. One resident calls it 'very cosy' and appreciates the community events. The area has a low urbanity score (4 out of 5, meaning not very urban) and an address density of 642 per km². Most homes are owner-occupied (67%) and many are pre-war (57%).
The train station is 0.5 km away, which is about a five-minute walk. This makes commuting by rail quite convenient from this home.
There are two supermarkets within a couple of streets: a Dekamarkt at 122 m and an Albert Heijn at 147 m. Both are easily walkable for daily shopping.
Two primary schools are within walking distance: RK Basisschool de Caegh (259 m) and De Kelderswerf (837 m). For secondary education, the nearest school is 5.9 km away, so you'd need a bike or car.
The energy label is F, which is poor. This means the home is not well insulated and heating costs will be high. In the neighbourhood, 66.7% of homes have a label D or lower, so this is not unusual for the area, but you should budget for significant energy bills.
