About Melklaan 43, Velsen-Noord
The asking price of €389,000 is in line with the market for a terraced house of this size in Velsen-Noord. The 101 m² floor area and 131 m² plot are typical for a 1950s family home, though the E energy label means you should budget for higher energy costs. 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.
Watervlietbuurt is a quiet, residential area with a mix of early 1900s and post-war houses. It's predominantly owner-occupied and family-oriented, with many households with children. The standout feature is Wijkeroogpark, which is right on your doorstep. One resident calls it a "Cosy neighbourhood by the park" and praises the character of the streets. The area has a moderate urban density (1,309 addresses per km²) and low crime rates.
The nearest train station is 1.1 km away, which is about a ten-minute walk. This makes commuting to nearby cities like Haarlem or Amsterdam feasible without a car.
The closest primary school, De Plataan, is 456 m away (a five-minute walk). Other primary schools within walking distance include de Bethelschool (1.6 km) and Katholieke Basisschool De Anjelier (1.7 km). For secondary education, Technisch College Velsen and Maritiem College IJmuiden are both about 1.8 km away.
Energy label E means the home is not very energy-efficient. You can expect higher heating bills compared to a home with a better label. The house was built in 1952, so it likely has single glazing and less insulation. While the label is stated, the listing does not provide details on the exact insulation or heating system.
The plot size is 131 m², but the listing does not explicitly mention a garden.
