About Esdoornstraat 12, Geleen
The asking price of €250,000 is very close to the neighbourhood median of €254,450, so it's in line with what similar homes have sold for recently. The average price per m² in Lindenheuvel is €2,332, and this home works out at about €2,660 per m², slightly above average, but the large plot (458 m²) compensates. Given that 105 homes sold in the area in the past period, the market is active but not overheated.
Energy label F is one of the least efficient ratings, so you can expect higher heating and electricity bills compared to a modern home. In Lindenheuvel, only about 26% of homes have a label D or lower, so this house is on the less efficient end. You may want to budget for improvements like insulation or a new heating system to bring costs down over time.
Lindenheuvel is well suited to families: there are 1,170 households with children, and the area has a primary school (Basisschool 't Heuvelke) just 119 metres away. The large garden plot and quiet streets add to the appeal. The mix of ages means children will have neighbours their age, and the park nearby offers outdoor space.
The nearest train station is 1.9 km away, about a 20-minute walk or a short cycle. For daily commuting, the station connects to Sittard and beyond, but you'd need to check timetables for your route.
Built in 1930, the house is nearly a century old. The energy label F suggests the original construction may lack modern insulation. The listing does not mention any recent renovations, so you should assume some updating is needed. The plot is large, which offers scope for extensions or landscaping, but the interior condition is not described.
Yes, a park or public garden is just 0.3 km away, a couple of streets from the house. This is a real plus for a neighbourhood that already feels green. The area has a moderate urbanity level (3 out of 5), so it's not too dense, and the large private garden adds to the outdoor space.
The neighbourhood has a mix of families and older residents, with a significant share of single-person households (1,440). Owner-occupancy is 56%, so there's a healthy mix of homeowners and renters. The average household size is 2.1, reflecting both couples and families. Incomes are average for the region.
