About Gerard Doustraat 11, Ijmuiden
The price is in line with the market for terraced houses in Velsen. The 106 m² floor area and energy label B are solid features for a 1928 home. Without comparable sales data for the immediate neighbourhood, it's hard to say if it's a bargain, but it's not overpriced for the area.
The energy label is B, which means the home is reasonably efficient. You can expect lower energy bills compared to older homes with labels D or lower. The pre-war construction may still have some draughts, but label B suggests good insulation and efficient heating.
The nearest train station is 3.3 km away. That's about a 40-minute walk or a short bike ride.
Several primary schools are within walking distance: Sint Franciscus-School (384 m), De Vliegende Hollander (500 m), and a special school, De Boekanier (324 m). For secondary education, Vellesan College is 787 m away.
The total number of recorded crimes in the neighbourhood is 21. That's relatively low for a densely populated urban area. The neighbourhood has a strong community feel with many families, which often contributes to a safe environment.
The listing does not mention a garden. The plot is 116 m², which is typical for a terraced house, but whether that includes a garden or just the footprint is not stated.
