About Atlantis 8, Wormerveer
The asking price of €950,000 is above the neighbourhood average of €649,000 and the average sold price of €562,000. However, this is a recent new build (2021) with an exceptional energy label A++++, which justifies a premium. The floor area of 220 m² is smaller than the neighbourhood average of 465 m², so the price per m² is higher. Whether it is fair depends on how much you value modern efficiency and low running costs.
An A++++ energy label is the highest possible rating, meaning the home is extremely energy-efficient. It likely includes features like high-quality insulation, a heat pump, solar panels, and triple glazing. This results in very low energy bills and a minimal carbon footprint. In the neighbourhood, none of the current for-sale homes have label A+, so this home stands out significantly.
The home has 220 m² of living space, which is 53% smaller than the neighbourhood average of 465 m². However, the average is skewed by a few very large homes; the median might be closer. The plot of 251 m² is also modest. The layout is modern and efficient, so the space feels usable.
Karnemelksepolder is very family-oriented: 80 of the 135 households have children, and the average household size is 2.8. The area is quiet, with mostly single-family homes and low crime (31 incidents total). Schools and a supermarket are within walking or cycling distance, making it practical for daily life.
The nearest train station is 2.4 km away, which is about a 10-minute bike ride or a 5-minute drive. Wormerveer station offers connections to Amsterdam and beyond.
The closest supermarket is Lidl at 979 m (about a 12-minute walk). Albert Heijn and PLUS are both at 1.5 km, and Dekamarkt and Aldi are within 1.7 km. For daily shopping, you have several options within a 20-minute walk or a short bike ride.
Since the home was built in 2021, it is likely still covered by a builder's warranty (typically 10 years for structural defects and 5 years for finishing).
