Prins Hendrikstraat 1

At €245,000, this is the cheapest home currently for sale in Emmakwartier and 68% below the neighbourhood average asking price of €766,792. However, the floor area (52 m²) is 66% smaller than the average of 153 m², so the price per square metre is relatively high. Given its compact size and energy label D, the price is keen for a starter home in a central Alkmaar location.

The energy label is D. This means the home has moderate energy efficiency, heating costs will be higher than in a home with label A or B. In the neighbourhood, 45.5% of homes have label A, while 27.3% have label D or lower. You can expect higher energy bills compared to more efficient homes.
