About Burgemeester Haefkensstraat 39, Houten
The asking price of €500,000 is 34% below the average asking price in Oude Dorp (€754,867) and also below the median of €669,000. However, the home is smaller than average (88 m² vs 126 m²) and has an energy label F, so the lower price reflects the need for upgrades. It's a keen entry point for the neighbourhood.
Energy label F indicates poor energy efficiency, so heating costs are likely to be high. In Oude Dorp, 42.9% of homes for sale have label A or better, so this home is an outlier. You'll want to budget for insulation and possibly new heating systems to improve comfort and reduce bills.
Oude Dorp is the historic village centre of Houten, with a mix of old and new housing. It's a quiet, family-friendly area with a strong community feel. One resident describes it as renewing itself without losing the old village atmosphere. Amenities like shops and schools are within walking distance.
There are two primary schools within a five-minute walk: Van Harte School (116 m) and Johannes Bogermanschool (446 m). For secondary education, College de Heemlanden is about 837 m away, a ten-minute walk. Several other schools are within a couple of kilometres.
The nearest train station is 2.6 km from the home, which is about a 30-minute walk or a short cycle ride. Houten has good rail connections, but the station is not within immediate walking distance.
The plot is 233 m², which is generous for a terraced house. While the listing doesn't specify the garden layout, the size suggests there is outdoor space. You would need to view the property to see its condition and orientation.
