At €330,000, this apartment is priced 34% below the average asking price in Gasthuiswijk (€500,455). However, the floor area of 72 m² is 31% smaller than the neighbourhood average of 105 m², and the energy label E is less efficient than most homes in the area. The price is keen relative to the market, but the smaller size and lower energy rating are factors to consider.
The energy label is E, which means the home is less energy-efficient than newer or better-insulated properties. In Gasthuiswijk, most homes for sale have a label A or better, so heating costs here are likely to be higher than average. The exact running costs depend on usage and energy prices.

Auto-translated to English by AICosy flat with many elderly residents. A nice dog walking area that I look out onto. Also a beautiful park. However, too few shops, so little choice unfortunately. Only the park is not lit and there are regularly homeless people who also sleep in the bushes! The park is well maintained though. In short, I am very satisfied with the neighbourhood.
