About Bakkummerstraat 58C, Castricum
At €250,000, this studio is the cheapest home for sale in Bakkum-Zuid and 76% below the neighbourhood average of €1,039,333. However, it is also much smaller than typical homes in the area, 34 m² versus an average of 172 m². The price per square metre works out at about €7,353, which is above the neighbourhood average of €5,876 per m², so you are paying a premium for the small size.
