The asking price is 42% below the neighbourhood average of €513,132, but the apartment is also 44% smaller than the average home in the area (50 m² vs 90 m²). The price per square metre works out to about €5,990, which is slightly above the neighbourhood average of €5,758 per m². So while the total price is low, you're paying a bit more per square metre for a compact unit.

The energy label is C, which is average for a pre-war apartment. In the neighbourhood, 28.2% of homes have label C, while 38.5% have a label D or lower. Label C means the home is reasonably efficient, but you can expect moderate energy costs, not as low as an A-label, but not as high as an E, F or G.

The nearest train station is 1.6 km away, which is about a 20-minute walk or a short cycle ride. This makes it feasible for commuting, though you'll need to factor in the walk or bike ride to the station.

The Provenierswijk has a high proportion of residents aged 25 to 45 (1,980 out of 4,760), and many households are single-person (1,650). It's a very urban area with a high address density, so you'll find plenty of restaurants, shops and nightlife nearby. The neighbourhood feels lively and young.

There are currently 38 apartments for sale in the Provenierswijk, with prices ranging from €275,000 to €1,750,000. The median price is €439,500, so this apartment at €299,500 is on the lower end of the market. In the past year, 133 homes were sold, with an average selling time of 64 days.

Primary school De Provenier is just 88 metres away, so it's on your doorstep. For secondary education, Mavo Centraal (274 m), Wolfert ISK (275 m) and Montessori Mavo (299 m) are all within a five-minute walk. There's also a special secondary school, Klein Coolstraat, at 45 metres.

At 50 m², the apartment is compact but could work for a couple who don't need a lot of space. It's best suited for singles or couples without children.
