About Achter de Hoven 57, Buchten
At €239,000, this is the cheapest home for sale in Buchten and 42% below the neighbourhood average asking price of €410,100. The floor area of 125 m² is smaller than the local average of 185 m², which partly explains the lower price. Given the energy label E and the 1964 build, the price is keen for a mid-terrace house in this quiet village.
Buchten scores 8.9 out of 10 from four reviews. Residents describe it as a quiet, friendly place where people help each other, taking in parcels, supporting when ill. It's a mix of ages, with many families and older residents. The village has a low urbanity score (4 out of 5), meaning it's not densely built up, and there's a park within walking distance.
The nearest train station is 5.4 km away, so you would need a car or bus for rail connections. The village itself is car-oriented, with most daily amenities within walking or cycling distance.
Two primary schools are within a ten-minute walk: Basisschool het Avontuur (595 m) and Openbare Basisschool de Wissel (789 m). For secondary education, the nearest school is 5.5 km away, so a commute is needed.
The energy label is E, which is below average for the neighbourhood, 57% of homes here have label D or lower. An E label means higher energy costs for heating and electricity, so you should budget for that. The house was built in 1964, so insulation may be limited.
In Sittard-Geleen, the average asking price for a mid-terrace house is higher than this one. This home is priced well below the neighbourhood average, partly because of its smaller floor area and older energy label. It's a good option if you're looking for an affordable entry into the area.
