Edelvalk 8

Yes, it's a keen price. The apartment is the cheapest of the three homes currently for sale in the Vogelbuurt, and its asking price is 52% below the neighbourhood average of €592,833. However, the floor area (58 m²) is smaller than the average home in the area, so the price per square metre is in line with what you'd expect for a compact apartment.

The energy label is D. That means the home is not particularly energy-efficient, so you can expect higher heating costs compared to a home with a better label. In the Vogelbuurt, 50% of homes have label A, so this one is below average in that respect.

Residents recommend it for families. There are plenty of primary schools within walking distance, lots of playgrounds, and the Ruisseveen nature area for walks. One resident says it's "definitely recommended for families or cohabiting couples." The neighbourhood has a mix of households, with many families with children.

Albert Heijn is just around the corner (178 m), and Jumbo is a couple of streets away (665 m). There are also several primary schools within a five-minute walk, and the train station is a ten-minute walk (0.8 km). For restaurants, you'd need to travel a bit further (1.5 km).

Recently sold homes in the Vogelbuurt took an average of 29 days to sell. That's a fairly typical timeframe, suggesting a balanced market without extreme pressure.

Given the price and size, it's a good option for a first-time buyer. The asking price is below the neighbourhood average, and the compact layout (58 m²) is manageable. Just factor in the energy label D when budgeting for monthly costs.
