About Merelstraat 6, Driel
The asking price of €349,000 is in line with the market for semi-detached houses in Overbetuwe. The large plot of 1650 m² adds significant value, though the home itself has a modest floor area of 97 m² and an energy label E, which means higher heating costs. Comparable homes in the area typically sell for similar amounts.
The energy label is E, which is below average for a home of this age (built in 1950). This means you can expect higher energy bills compared to a more efficient home. Improvements such as insulation or double glazing could improve the label and reduce costs.
The plot measures 1650 m², which is exceptionally large for a semi-detached house. This gives you plenty of space for a garden, outdoor activities, or even extending the home (subject to planning permission). The current floor area is 97 m², so the plot offers room to expand.
The Vogelbuurt is a quiet, family-friendly neighbourhood with a village atmosphere. It has a low urbanity level (5 out of 5, meaning not urban), with only 487 addresses per km². Most homes are single-family houses (93%), and the population is a mix of families and older residents. There are no neighbourhood reviews available.
The nearest train station is 3.8 km away. This is a reasonable distance for cycling or driving, but not within walking distance. The station provides connections to Arnhem and Nijmegen.
Two primary schools are within walking distance: Basisschool De Kameleon (386 m) and cb De Meeuwenberg (452 m). For secondary education, the nearest school is 3.3 km away, so a bike or car is needed.
Yes, Albert Heijn is just 233 m away on Merelstraat, so daily shopping is very convenient. Other supermarkets within 5 km include another Albert Heijn, Jumbo, and Lidl.
The home was built in 1950, which is typical for this area. Older homes often have solid construction but may need updates to insulation, windows, or heating. The energy label E reflects this, so factor in potential renovation costs.
