I live in a noisy house myself and have a lot of noise from the neighbours. Which is why I'm looking for another house. But apart from that, it's a nice neighbourhood here. With many nationalities living together in one neighbourhood. There are many activities for all ages. And there are many educational locations in my neighbourhood. But in my flat, there are also people who unfortunately just throw rubbish down from their window. As a result, there are food scraps behind the houses near the storage units and on the roof of the storage units.

However, the apartment has an A+ energy label, which is rare in an area where 93% of homes were built before 1945. The average price per m² in the neighbourhood is €4,725, so at €8,085 per m² this is a premium property.
The energy label is A+, the highest possible. This means the home is very energy-efficient, with low heating costs and a small environmental footprint. In the neighbourhood, only 8.5% of homes for sale have an A+ label, so this is a standout feature for a pre-war apartment.
