About Van Panhuyslaan 71, Leek
The asking price of €215,000 is well below the neighbourhood average of €350,000 and the median of €350,000. However, this home is much smaller than typical properties in the area (45 m² vs 134 m² average). The price per square metre works out at around €4,778, which is higher than the neighbourhood average of €2,842 per m². So while the total price is low, you're paying a premium for the compact size.
The home has energy label C. That means it's reasonably efficient, not the best, but far from the worst. You can expect moderate energy bills, though exact costs depend on usage. The neighbourhood has a mix of older homes (built between 1945 and 1970), so label C is fairly typical for a house of this age.
The nearest train station is 12.7 km away, so this is not a location for daily commuting by rail. You'd likely rely on a car or bus for longer journeys.
There are several primary schools within walking distance. Obs De Nijenoert is about 500 m away, and Samenlevingsschool De Stapsteen is roughly 700 m. For secondary education, rsg de Borgen (Nijeborg) is around 800 m from the house. All are within a ten-minute walk or short cycle.
The neighbourhood recorded 167 total crimes in the latest data. Without a breakdown, it's hard to judge the severity, but the figure suggests a typical level for a village centre. The area has a mix of ages and many owner-occupied homes, which often contributes to a stable community feel.
At the time of writing, only two homes are available for sale in the neighbourhood, with prices ranging from €315,000 to €385,000. This house is the cheapest option by a significant margin, but also the smallest. The limited supply means choices are few.
