Frequently asked questions
About Herenstraat 12B, Culemborg
Was €185,000 a fair price for this studio?
At €185,000, this studio was the cheapest home for sale in Binnenstad and 68% below the neighbourhood average of €573,771. However, it is also much smaller than average (28 m² vs 102 m²). The price per m² worked out at about €6,607, which was slightly above the neighbourhood average of €6,145 per m², so you pay a premium for the compact size.
What is the energy label and what does it mean?
The energy label is D. That was a middling score, heating and electricity costs would be noticeable but not extreme. In the neighbourhood, about 35% of homes have a label D or lower, so this is fairly typical for an older building (1950).
How far is the train station?
Culemborg station is 1.3 km away, about a 15-minute walk. That makes it feasible for commuting, though not on your doorstep.
What shops and amenities are nearby?
Albert Heijn is 359 m away, Jumbo at 557 m, and Aldi at 916 m, all within a short walk. Restaurants are just 200 m away, and a park or garden is 300 m. Daily errands are easily done on foot.
Is this a good option for a first-time buyer?
With a price of €185,000, this was one of the most affordable homes in Culemborg. The compact size (28 m²) makes it suitable for a single person or couple who want a low-maintenance city base. The historic centre offers plenty of atmosphere and convenience.
