The asking price of €395,000 is about 30% below the average asking price in Ooster Eng-Zuid (€560,607) and also below the median of €487,500. Given the 90 m² floor area, that works out to roughly €4,389 per m², compared to the neighbourhood average of €5,084 per m². So it's priced keenly, possibly because of the energy label D or the 1968 build. Recent sales in the area averaged €494,386, so this home is on the low side.
The energy label is D. That's a middling rating, not particularly efficient, but not the worst either. In the neighbourhood, 41.2% of homes have label A, while another 41.2% have label D or lower. So this home is in the less efficient half. You can expect higher energy bills compared to a modern, well-insulated home, but it's not unusual for a property built in 1968.
The nearest train station is 3 km away. That's about a 7-minute drive or a 15-minute bike ride. It's not within walking distance for most people, but the bus or a bike makes it manageable.

How residents experience their municipality
Good contact with the neighbours and we have seen all their children grow up safely here. Dog poo is cleaned up neatly. Rubbish always on time. We have lived here for almost 30 years, very pleasant.
