Auto-translated to English by AIIt's a small but cosy and close-knit community. The area is also clean and there's little trouble with pests. If I could change something, it would be that more facilities are added or that more is done to make sports clubs more well-known and appealing to young people.

About Gravenstraat 5, Den Burg
The asking price is €595,000, which is slightly above the average sale price in Den Burg (€583,555) and well above the median (€522,000). However, this is a spacious 132 m² apartment in a historic building from 1680, which is rare. The price per m² works out at about €4,508, which is below the neighbourhood average of €5,080 per m², so you're getting more space for your money.
Energy label F indicates poor energy efficiency. The home will have higher heating costs compared to better-rated properties. In Den Burg, only about 20.9% of homes have a label D or lower, so this apartment is less efficient than most. You should expect significant energy expenses, especially in winter.
The apartment was built in 1680, making it over 340 years old. In Den Burg, 23.1% of homes date from before 1945, so this is one of the older properties. Historic buildings often have character features like high ceilings or original beams, but may also require more maintenance and have less insulation.
