Handel is a small village with around 1,400 residents, where most homes are owner-occupied family houses. It's a quiet, rural setting, the address density is very low, so you'll have plenty of peace. There are no resident reviews available for this street, but the village is known for its annual procession and friendly atmosphere. The population is mixed, with a good number of families and older residents.
For your morning bread, the nearest supermarket is Jumbo, about a ten-minute walk away. Lidl, SPAR and Nettorama are a couple of streets further. The local primary school, Kindcentrum De Havelt, is just around the corner, handy if you have young children. For secondary education, you'd head to Commanderij College in Gemert, a ten-minute drive. The municipality Gemert-Bakel covers a wide rural area, so a car is useful for most errands.

About Pastoor Castelijnsstraat 16N, Handel
The asking price is 64% below the average asking price in Handel (€630,000), but that average is based on much larger homes, the typical home here is 177 m². At 37 m², this studio is 79% smaller, so the price per square metre (€6,081) is actually above the neighbourhood average of €3,570/m². Given the size and energy label E, the price is on the high side for the market.
The energy label is E, which means the home is not very energy-efficient. You can expect higher heating costs compared to a more modern home. In the neighbourhood, 40% of homes have label A, 20% label B, and 40% label D or lower, so this studio falls in the less efficient category.
The nearest train station is 15.4 km away, so this is not a home for daily commuting by rail. A car or bus is essential for longer journeys.
The closest supermarket is Jumbo at 2.8 km, about a ten-minute walk. Lidl, SPAR and Nettorama are within 3.5 km. The primary school Kindcentrum De Havelt is just 180 metres away, and the nearest secondary school is Commanderij College at 2.9 km.
At €225,000, it's below the national average for a starter home, but the small size (37 m²) and energy label E mean running costs could be higher. It's a compact, affordable entry into the housing market in a quiet village.
Currently there are only 3 homes for sale in Handel, including this studio. The market is very limited, so options are scarce. In the past year, 15 homes were sold, with an average selling time of 26 days.
