Frequently asked questions
About Oranjestraat 44, Gilze
Was €594,000 a fair price for this home?
The asking price of €594,000 was above the neighbourhood median of €494,500, but the home was larger than average (158 m² vs 157 m²) and sat on a generous 378 m² plot. Semi-detached houses in Gilze en Rijen were scarce, which could push prices up. Whether it is fair depends on how much the character and space are worth to you.
What is the energy label C worth?
Energy label C is the middle of the scale. It means the home is reasonably efficient, but not as efficient as modern A or B labels. In the neighbourhood, 14.3% of homes have label C, while most have label B (42.9%) or A (28.6%).
How is the neighbourhood for families?
Strijpakkers-Laars is very family-oriented: 93% of homes are single-family, and many households have children. There are two primary schools within a five-minute walk, and a GP and supermarkets are close by. One resident calls it a "Safe and cosy neighbourhood" with regular neighbour activities.
What is the public transport like?
The nearest train station is 6.7 km away, so you would need a car or bus to reach it. For daily commuting, a car is the most practical option.
How old is the house and what does that mean?
The house was built in 1902, so it has historic character. The energy label C suggests some modernisation has been done.
