Sint Lambertuslaan 28A

The asking price is 30% above the neighbourhood average of €578,000, but the house is also 93% larger than the typical home in Villapark (224 m² vs 116 m²). The price per square metre works out at about €3,348, which is below the neighbourhood average of €5,056/m². So while the total price is high, you are getting significantly more space for your money.

The energy label is D. In the neighbourhood, all homes currently for sale have labels B or C, so this house is less efficient than most. A D label means heating costs will be higher than in a modern home, but the pre-war character and large windows may be part of the appeal.

Villapark has a mix of ages, but fewer families with children than average: only about 380 households have kids, while 755 are single-person households. The area is quiet and green, with a park and primary schools within walking distance. It is more popular with older residents and couples without children.

The nearest train station is 2.7 km away, which is about a 30-minute walk or a short bike ride. The city centre is easily reachable by bike.

In the past year, sold homes in Villapark spent an average of 84 days on the market. That is a moderate pace, not extremely fast, but not slow either. The current listing has 6 homes for sale, so there is some choice.

The plot is 112 m². The listing does not mention a garden, so it is not clear whether there is outdoor space. The house is a terraced property, so any garden would likely be at the rear.

Pre-war homes often have solid construction but may need updates to insulation, wiring or plumbing. This house has an energy label D, which suggests some modernisation has been done, but it is worth checking the condition of the roof, windows and heating system. The listing does not provide details on renovations.
