About Balistraat 30, Amersfoort
The asking price of €719,000 is on the high side compared to other semi-detached homes in Amersfoort. The house has a large plot of 364 m² and a floor area of 139 m², but the energy label F means higher running costs. Without comparable sales data for the neighbourhood, it is hard to say exactly how it stacks up.
The energy label is F, which is very inefficient. You can expect high heating costs, especially in winter. The house was built in 1952, so it likely lacks modern insulation. Improvements such as cavity wall insulation, double glazing and a new heating system could significantly reduce energy bills.
The nearest train station is 2.4 km away, which is about a 30-minute walk or a short cycle ride. Amersfoort has good rail connections to Utrecht and Amsterdam, but the station is not within walking distance for a quick trip.
There are several primary schools within walking distance: P.C. basisschool De Bolster (about 800 m), School op de Berg (1 km) and Johannes Calvijnschool (1.2 km). For secondary education, Axia College is 1.4 km away. The area has a good choice of schools.
The Indische Buurt is a quiet residential area with low crime figures. In the most recent data, there were 16 reported crimes in the neighbourhood, which is low for a district of this size. The area feels safe and is popular with families.
The nearest supermarket is SPAR express, about 1.1 km away. Jumbo and Albert Heijn are both about 1.2 km away, so you can walk there in about 15 minutes. For a larger selection, there are more options within a 5 km radius.
