About Drievogelstraat 231, Kerkrade
The asking price of €125,000 is 64% below the average asking price in Spekholzerheide (€344,250). However, this studio is also much smaller than the neighbourhood average (44 m² vs 186 m²). Given the compact size and energy label C, the price is in line with what you'd expect for a studio of this type in Kerkrade.
The home has energy label C. This means it has reasonable insulation and heating efficiency, not the best, but far from the worst. You can expect moderate energy bills, though exact costs depend on usage. In the neighbourhood, about 27% of homes have label A or better, so this is a middle-of-the-road rating.
The nearest supermarket is Lidl, just 79 metres away, literally on your doorstep. For a wider selection, AH XL is 739 metres (a ten-minute walk) and Jumbo is about 1 km away. Daily shopping is very convenient.
The nearest train station is 3.6 km away, so it's not within walking distance for most people. A bike or car would be practical for longer journeys.
