NeighbourhoodThis semi-detached house on Houtse Parallelweg sits in a quiet part of Helmond, with a 280 m² plot that gives you a decent garden.

About Houtse Parallelweg 88, Helmond
The asking price of €399,000 is above the neighbourhood average of €225,000, but that average is based on a single data point and includes all property types. Semi-detached houses in Helmond tend to command a premium, and the 280 m² plot is generous. Whether it's fair depends on how you value the garden and the location, the price per m² of €3,729 is higher than the neighbourhood average of €1,772, but that's typical for a house with a garden.
The home has an energy label E, which is on the lower end of the scale. This means heating costs are likely to be higher than in a more modern home. In the neighbourhood, all homes have labels D or lower, so this is consistent with the area. You may want to consider energy-saving measures, but the label itself is a fact, it's not a dealbreaker for everyone.
The nearest train station is 1.7 km away, which is about a 20-minute walk or a short cycle ride. That's a reasonable distance for commuting, though not on your doorstep.
