About Kerkstraat 6, Alblasserdam
It's the most expensive home currently for sale in Kerkbuurt, and 31% above the neighbourhood average asking price of €378,083. But with 148 m² of floor space, 64% more than the local average of 90 m², you're paying for size. The semi-detached type is also less common in the area, where 72% of homes are single-family. Whether it's fair depends on how much you value space and a classic 1958 build.
The energy label is D. In Kerkbuurt, 25% of homes have label A or better, while another 25% are D or lower. Label D means the home is not particularly energy-efficient, so you can expect higher gas and electricity bills compared to a modern home. It's worth factoring in potential improvements like insulation or double glazing.
Parking on the streets is difficult, according to a resident review. There are too few spaces for the number of houses, so you may need to park further away or rely on a driveway if the property has one. The listing does not mention a garage or off-street parking, so it's something to check when viewing.
There are several primary schools within walking distance. Christelijk IKC De Schalm is about 233 m away, IKC Het Palet is 337 m, and Christelijk IKC De Twijn is 478 m. For secondary education, the nearest school is 4.1 km away, so you'd need to drive or cycle.
Dirk is just 166 m away, on your doorstep. Albert Heijn and Lidl are also close, at 365 m and 387 m respectively. For daily groceries, you won't need to go far.
