About Kerkbuurt 14, Marken
The asking price of €250,000 is on the high side for a 55 m² semi-detached house with energy label G in this neighbourhood. However, Marken is a unique location with historic character, and comparable homes are scarce. The price reflects the desirability of the area rather than the size or condition of the house.
Energy label G is the lowest rating, meaning the home is not energy-efficient. You can expect high heating costs, especially in winter. The house was built in 1933 and likely has poor insulation and single glazing. Renovations to improve the label would be a significant investment.
The nearest train station is 19.3 km away, so commuting by train is not convenient. You would need to drive or take a bus to a station on the mainland, such as Amsterdam Centraal or Purmerend. A car is almost essential for public transport connections.
The nearest primary school, De Rietlanden, is just 234 metres away, an easy walk. Other primary schools are further, around 4.4 km or more. The closest secondary school is 8.7 km away, so older children will need to travel to Monnickendam or Amsterdam.
Yes, the nearest Albert Heijn is 460 metres away, just a couple of streets from the house. For a wider choice, other supermarkets are 4.4 km or more, so the local Albert Heijn covers daily needs well.
Havenbuurt en Kerkbuurt has a mix of residents, with 230 households with children out of 810 homes. The area is quiet and safe, with low crime figures (19 total offences). The primary school nearby is a plus, but secondary school options are limited on the island.
