Helmhof 36

The asking price of €550,000 is above the average sale price of €489,125 for homes sold recently in Weidebloemenbuurt-Zuid. However, this house is larger than average (189 m² vs. typical homes in the area) and has a generous plot of 204 m². The price reflects the extra space, so it's on the high side but not unreasonable for what's on offer.

The energy label is C, which is average for a house built in 1973. You can expect moderate energy costs, but it's not as efficient as a modern home. If you're looking to improve efficiency, you could consider insulation upgrades or solar panels, but the current label is perfectly livable.

The nearest train station is 4.6 km away, which is about a ten-minute drive or a 20-minute bike ride. Alphen aan den Rijn station offers connections to Leiden, Utrecht, and Gouda, but you'll need a bike or car to get there.

There are several primary schools within walking distance: PCB De Stromen (647 m), Het Spectrum (755 m), and Islamitische Basisschool An Noer (937 m). For secondary education, Scala College is about 1 km away. All are within a ten-minute walk or short bike ride.

Weidebloemenbuurt-Zuid is very family-oriented, with 42% of households having children. The area is quiet, with a park just 200 m away, and there are plenty of playgrounds and green spaces. The streets are safe, and the community is close-knit.

Hoogvliet and Aldi are both about 800 m away, just around the corner. Albert Heijn is a bit further at 907 m, still a five-minute walk. For more variety, there are 18 supermarkets within 5 km, so you're well covered.

Recently sold homes in the neighbourhood took an average of 42 days to sell, which is fairly typical for the area. This suggests a balanced market, not too fast, not too slow.
