The asking price of €225,000 is 52% below the average asking price in Houtwijk (€464,000). However, the floor area of 75 m² is 28% smaller than the neighbourhood average of 104 m², and the energy label F means higher energy costs. So the price is keen but reflects the home's size and energy performance.
The energy label is F, which is poor. In Houtwijk, most homes for sale have better labels: 36% have label A, 19% label B, and 33% label C. Only 11% have label D or lower. With label F, you can expect higher heating bills and may want to consider insulation improvements.
Houtwijk is a quiet, green residential area with a strong community feel. Residents praise the friendly neighbours, cleanliness, and safety. One review calls it 'the perfect neighbourhood' with amenities close by. A downside mentioned is limited public transport connections to other parts of the city.
Lidl is 400 metres away, Albert Heijn is 475 metres, and a GP surgery is 700 metres. A park is just 200 metres from the home. Primary schools are within 500 metres, and secondary education is 1.4 km away. Restaurants and a library are also within walking distance.
The nearest train station is 5.4 km away, so it's not within walking distance. You would need a bus, tram, or car to reach it. Public transport within the neighbourhood is available but residents note it could be better.
This is an apartment built in 1923, so it has pre-war character. The floor area is 75 m².
How residents experience their neighbourhood
I've been living in Houtwijk for a while now and overall I'm very satisfied with the neighbourhood. What I particularly experience as positive are the people here. The neighbours are friendly and helpful, and there is a pleasant atmosphere on the street. The area is also clean and well-maintained, which gives a nice and cared-for feeling. Moreover, it feels very safe here; I feel at ease in the surroundings at any time of day. What I find less pleasant is the accessibility of Houtwijk by public transport. There are buses and trams, but the service is limited and connections to other parts of the city are sometimes a bit cumbersome or time-consuming. This makes it difficult for people without a car to get to other places quickly. All in all, I think Houtwijk is a nice and quiet place to live, especially because of the friendly neighbours, the cleanliness and the feeling of safety. Hopefully public transport will be better organised in the future.
Auto-translated to English by AIEveryone is always open for a chat, the neighbours look out for each other. All amenities are close by. Actually, this is the perfect neighbourhood. Everyone neatly cleans up the mess on the street, the houses are beautiful and well-insulated, green spaces are next to the centre which is also nice and spacious. Moreover, there is plenty to do for the children. Accessibility by both public transport and car is fine.

How residents experience their district
I am very satisfied
Auto-translated to English by AIMany fatbikers who run you over or knock the creases out of your trousers, there still needs to be more enforcement on that. Cars racing through the street as if it's Zandvoort! Shared scooters parked everywhere on the pavement. Many residents here are visually impaired; this is simply life-threatening for this group. A trip by ambulance to the hospital costs more than parking that scooter somewhere safe. The housing corporations need to better maintain/insulate the homes for the exorbitant rent they charge! The trees in the street need to be pruned/trimmed. On a gloomy day, we have the lights on by 3 PM, so high energy bills! More activities should be held in the shopping centre. The rents for the shop premises are far too high, there is a lot of vacancy!
Auto-translated to English by AII have nice neighbours and a large, enclosed American-style green garden, which I am very happy with.
