About Hertogenlaan 266, Oosterhout (Nb)
The asking price of €289,000 is well below the neighbourhood average of €582,674, but the apartment is also smaller than average (70 m² vs 163 m²). The price per square metre works out to about €4,129, which is in line with the neighbourhood average of €4,061 per m². So the price is competitive for the size, and the home is priced keenly relative to larger properties in Slotjes-West.
The energy label is E, which means the home is not very energy-efficient. You can expect higher heating costs compared to a home with a better label. In the neighbourhood, 50% of homes have a label D or lower, so this is not unusual for a property built in 1966. It may be worth considering improvements like better insulation or a more efficient heating system.
The nearest train station is 8.8 km away, so it is not within walking distance. You would need a car, bike or bus to reach it. The area is better suited for those who rely on local amenities rather than commuting by train.
