Helena Smitsstraat 8

The asking price of €499,000 is in line with the market for a mid-terrace house of this size in Volendam. The 129 m² floor area and 127 m² plot are typical for the area, and the energy label B keeps running costs moderate. Compared to other homes in the neighbourhood, the price is neither notably high nor low.

Volendam-Blokgouw 4, 5 en 6 is a quiet, family-oriented neighbourhood with almost exclusively single-family homes. Most residents own their homes, and there are many households with children. The area is moderately urban, so you have a good balance of peace and access to shops and schools. The streets are safe, with low crime figures.

Albert Heijn is just 206 metres away, so you can walk there in a couple of minutes. There are several other supermarkets within a few kilometres, including Vomar and Dirk, but for daily shopping the closest one is very convenient.

There are several schools within walking distance. Basisschool De Scheepswerf is about 558 metres away, and Don Bosco College for secondary education is 525 metres. A special primary school, De Aventurijn, is also close at 376 metres. The area is well served for families with children.

The nearest train station is 10.2 km away, so this is not a location for daily commuting by rail. You would rely on a car or bus for longer journeys. The area is better suited for those who work locally or drive.

The home has energy label B, which is good. It means the house is reasonably energy-efficient, so your heating and electricity bills should be moderate. You won't face the high costs associated with older, poorly insulated homes.
