About Jan Wapstraat 179, 'S-Gravenhage
The asking price of €339,500 is above the neighbourhood average of €310,628 and the median of €295,000. However, the average price per m² in Laakkwartier-West is €4,001, and this apartment works out to about €4,920 per m². That's on the higher side, but it's a 69 m² apartment with an energy label C, which is typical for the area. Whether it's fair depends on how much you value the specific location and condition.
The energy label is C, which is average for homes in this neighbourhood, 42.5% of homes here have label C. A C label means the home is reasonably efficient but not top-tier. You can expect moderate energy costs, but it's not as efficient as a modern A or B label. The home was built in 1930, so some insulation improvements may have been made, but the label C suggests it's not fully modernised.
The train station is 0.9 km away, which is about a ten-minute walk. That makes it convenient for commuting to the city centre or other parts of the Randstad. The neighbourhood is very urban, with a high address density, so public transport connections are generally good.
