Middendam 3

The asking price of €495,000 is 40% below the neighbourhood average of €820,938, and the floor area of 152 m² is 36% larger than the local average of 112 m². This makes the price per m² around €3,257, which is well below the neighbourhood average of €7,142 per m². So the price is on the keen side compared to other homes in Monnickendam.

The house was built in 1390, making it exceptionally old, even for this neighbourhood, where 47% of homes date from before 1945. A building of this age often has character features like exposed beams or a traditional layout, but it may also require more maintenance.

Monnickendam is a historic town centre with a mix of ages: about 34% of residents are 45,65, and 23% are 65 or older. There are 285 households with children and 430 single-person households. The area has a high homeownership rate (76%) and mostly single-family homes (88%). It's a quiet, established neighbourhood with a park and restaurant just around the corner.

The nearest train station is 9.9 km away, so this home is not ideal for a daily train commute. You would likely need a car or bus for longer journeys. The listing does not mention bus connections, but Monnickendam is served by regional bus lines.

There are several primary schools within walking distance: Oecumenische Basisschool De Binnendijk is 133 m away, Openbare basisschool De Gouwzee is 478 m, and basisschool De Verwondering is 822 m. The nearest secondary school, Bernard Nieuwentijt College, is 923 m away. All are within a ten-minute walk.

The agent has not published an energy label for this home. Given the age of the building (1390), it may have poor insulation, but without a label, that is speculation.

The asking price of €495,000 is significantly below the neighbourhood median of €545,000 and the average of €820,938. The floor area of 152 m² is larger than the average of 112 m², so you get more space for less money. However, the home is very old and lacks an energy label, which may affect running costs.

The plot measures 97 m². This is a typical size for a terraced house in a historic centre. The listing does not mention a garden, so it is unclear whether there is private outdoor space. The plot figure alone does not indicate a garden.
