Auto-translated to English by AIThere is a lot of greenery in Vinkhuizen. I find this important. In terms of shops and facilities, there is plenty available. However, as a woman, I don't go out on the street in the evening because things often happen in this neighbourhood.

The 83 m² floor area is smaller than the average 112 m², but the price per square metre is attractive. Given the market, this is a keenly priced home.
The energy label is D. This means the home is not particularly energy-efficient, so heating costs will be higher than in a modern, well-insulated property. In the neighbourhood, 36.8% of homes have a label D or lower, so this is fairly typical for the area.
