The asking price of €289,000 is 22% below the neighbourhood average of €372,808, so it is on the keen side. However, the house has an E energy label and was built in 1954, which may mean higher running costs. The price per m² (€2,919) is also below the neighbourhood average of €3,278. It's a competitive entry point for a terraced house in Gageldonk-West.
Gageldonk-West is a very urban, multicultural neighbourhood with over 5,000 residents. It has a mix of families, singles, and older people. Two residents gave mixed reviews: one mentioned problems with integration, while another noted it's busy and developing. The area has a high crime rate (226 incidents) and a dense feel. It's not a quiet suburb, but it's lively and central.
The train station is 0.7 km away, about a ten-minute walk. This makes it convenient for commuting to nearby cities. No specific lines or destinations are mentioned in the listing.
Ekoplaza is 346 m away (just around the corner), Jumbo is 510 m (a five-minute walk), and Albert Heijn and Aldi are about 800 m (a ten-minute walk). Lidl is 1 km away. So daily groceries are easily within walking distance.
RK Basisschool Gummarus is 252 m away (on your doorstep), Auris Montaal (special education) is 425 m, Islamitische Basisschool is 535 m, and RK Basisschool Sancta Maria is 599 m. For secondary education, Curio isk Bergen op Zoom is 694 m away. All within a short walk.
The energy label is E, which means the home is not very energy-efficient. You can expect higher heating costs compared to a home with a better label. In the neighbourhood, 30.8% of homes have a label D or lower, so this is not unusual for the area, but it's worth factoring into your budget.
Recently sold homes in the neighbourhood had an average price of €347,926 and sold in about 42 days. The asking price of €289,000 is below that average, so it is priced to attract buyers. However, the home's energy label and age may explain the lower price.
The plot size is 154 m², but the listing does not explicitly mention a garden. The plot may include outdoor space, but this is not confirmed in the data.
