Pieter-Christiaanstraat 43

The asking price of €495,000 is 92% below the neighbourhood average of €5.8 million, but that average is skewed by a few very expensive homes. The median asking price in Rapenburg is €649,500, so this home is priced well below that. Given its size, modern build and A+ energy label, the price appears keen compared to other homes in the area.

The home has an A+ energy label, which is the highest rating. This means it is very energy-efficient, so you can expect low heating and electricity costs. In the neighbourhood, none of the other homes for sale have an A+ label, 75% have an A label and 25% have a B label, so this home stands out for its efficiency.

The house has a floor area of 153 m² and sits on a plot of 207 m². That is larger than the average home in Rapenburg, where the average floor area for homes for sale is 128 m². The plot gives you a private outdoor space, which is a plus in this urban neighbourhood.

Rapenburg is a quiet, residential area with a high proportion of older residents, over half the population is 65 or older. It is a strongly urban area (address density 2,226 per km²) but feels calm. Most homes were built between 1970 and 1990, and three-quarters have an A energy label. There are few families with children, so it is a peaceful setting.

The train station is 2.4 km from the home, which is about a 30-minute walk or a short cycle ride.

Primary school Basisschool De Princenhof is 396 m away, just a couple of streets. Several secondary schools are within a five-minute walk: YnSicht (510 m), ISK (529 m), the Leeuwarder Lyceum (534 m) and Gomarus College (569 m). So school runs are very manageable on foot or by bike.

Lidl is 546 m away, just around the corner. Albert Heijn is 1.1 km away, a ten-minute walk. There are also other supermarkets within a short distance, so daily shopping is convenient.

There are currently three homes for sale in Rapenburg, with an average asking price of €5.8 million and a median of €649,500. This home is the most affordable of the three. In the past, nine homes sold in the area, with an average selling price of €566,333 and an average time on market of 62 days.
