Ankerstraat 5

The asking price is 21% below the neighbourhood average of €519,055, which makes it look keen. But the home is also 36% smaller than the average home in the area (125 m² vs 196 m²). So the price per square metre works out at about €3,272, which is above the neighbourhood average of €2,836 per m². You're paying for a smaller home at a relatively high per-square-metre rate, but the total price is below the local median of €465,000.

The home has energy label C. That's a decent middle-of-the-road rating, not super efficient, but not a money pit either. In the neighbourhood, 20% of homes have label A, 35% have label B, and 15% have label C, so this home sits in the middle of the pack. You can expect reasonable energy costs, but it's worth checking the specific insulation and heating systems.

The plot is 415 m², which is generous for a semi-detached home. The listing doesn't specify how much of that is garden versus building footprint, but with a house of 125 m², there's plenty of outdoor space. You'll have room for a lawn, patio, and maybe even a vegetable patch.

Ulft-Centrum en Ulft-Oost has a mix of households: about 460 with children and 510 without. There are plenty of schools nearby, two primary schools within a five-minute walk, and a park just around the corner. The area feels settled and family-friendly, with a moderate urban density that's not too hectic.

The nearest train station is 5.6 km away. That's a short drive or a bike ride, but not within walking distance. If you commute by train, you'll need to factor in a bus or car journey to the station.

In the past year, 143 crimes were recorded in the neighbourhood. That's a moderate number for a area of this size.

Homes that sold recently in the neighbourhood took an average of 28 days to sell. That's a fairly brisk pace, suggesting decent demand. With 20 homes currently available, buyers have some choice, but good properties don't linger.
