About Rechtestraat 9, De Rijp
The asking price of €795,000 is 36% above the average asking price in De Rijp (€585,077). However, this home is larger than average (148 m² vs 135 m²) and has a historic character from 1886. Homes in the neighbourhood sell quickly, typically within 20 days, which suggests demand is strong. Whether it's fair depends on how much you value the age and size.
The home has energy label D. This is a moderate rating, meaning it's not as efficient as modern homes. You can expect higher heating costs compared to a home with label A or B. In De Rijp, 50% of homes have label D or lower, so it's not unusual for a property built in 1886.
The nearest train station is 11.7 km away. This makes the home more suitable for those who rely on a car or bicycle for longer journeys. Public transport connections to Alkmaar or Amsterdam may require a bus or car ride first.
There are several primary schools within walking distance. Basisschool De Tweemaster is 715 m away, and De Balein is 835 m away. For secondary education, the nearest school is 10.7 km away, so older children would need to travel further.
De Rijp has a family-friendly profile: 700 households have children, and the average household size is 2.3. The area is quiet and residential, with mostly single-family homes. There are playgrounds and green spaces nearby, though the nearest park is 5.1 km away.
The plot is 81 m². The listing does not explicitly mention a garden, so it's unclear whether the plot includes a private outdoor space. You would need to check the property details or view the home to confirm.
