About Staai-akker 4, Galder
Yes, it appears to be a fair price. The only other rental in Kern Galder is also listed at €1,850, and the price per square metre (€15.04) is consistent with that. Since there is no other supply, the market here is very thin, but the price matches the only comparable property.
The energy label is C, which is average for a home built in 1972. It means the home is reasonably efficient but not top-tier. You can expect moderate energy costs, though exact amounts depend on usage. The neighbourhood has a mix of labels, but this home's specific label is C.
The nearest train station is 10.3 km away, so it's not within walking distance. You would need a car or bus to reach it. The station itself is not named in the listing, but the distance is given.
The closest primary school is Mattheusschool, just 320 metres away, an easy walk for children. There are also several other primary schools within 5 km, such as Kbs De Rosmolen and Openbare Basisschool De Klokkebei. For secondary education, the nearest school is 7.4 km away, so a commute is necessary.
The listing does not mention a garden, but the plot size is 294 m², which typically includes outdoor space. However, since the agent hasn't specified a garden, we cannot confirm it. The plot is larger than the house footprint, so there is likely some private outdoor area.
With 123 m² of living space, it is likely a 3- or 4-bedroom home, but this is not confirmed.
