Auto-translated to English by AII've lived here for 33 years and I still walk around proudly at how beautiful the neighbourhood is, but connections and social contacts have deteriorated in the last few years, partly due to the "inbreeding" and greater differences between rich and poor.

The asking price of €535,000 is 22% below the average asking price in Burgwal (€684,332) and close to the median sold price of €515,261. Given the 88 m² floor area and D energy label, it is priced keenly compared to other apartments in the neighbourhood.
The energy label is D. In Burgwal, 22% of homes have a label D or lower, while 14.6% have A or A+. A D label means moderate energy efficiency, so heating costs will be higher than in a better-insulated home.
