Meerkade 4

The asking price of €460,000 is below the neighbourhood average of €500,690 and the median of €481,500. Given that the home is nearly new (2020) with energy label A, it appears priced. However, the neighbourhood has only 10 homes for sale, so supply is limited.

Blauwestad is a new village built around water, with a mix of housing types and plenty of recreational opportunities. It is very rural (urbanity score 5), with mostly families and a high rate of owner-occupied homes. One resident calls it a "Nice new village" but notes the lack of a supermarket and pub.

The closest supermarket is a PLUS at 1.1 km, about a ten-minute walk. Other options include Aldi (2.1 km) and Jumbo (2.2 km). For daily shopping, you would need to walk or cycle a bit, as there is no supermarket within the village itself.

The nearest primary school is Openbare Basisschool de Kleine Dollard at 0.99 km, a ten-minute walk. CBS De Vossenburcht is at 1.2 km, and there are several other schools within a couple of kilometres, including a secondary school (Dollard College Bovenburen) at 1.4 km.

The home has energy label A, which is very efficient. In the neighbourhood, 62.5% of homes have label A and 37.5% have label A+, so this home is in line with the local standard. You can expect low energy costs.

The nearest train station is 5.3 km away, so you would need a car or bike to reach it. The area is not well served by public transport, which is typical for a rural location.

The neighbourhood is designed around water, with peninsulas and lots of recreational opportunities. A park or public garden is just 0.9 km away. Residents mention "Lots of recreational opportunities" as a highlight.
