About Lijnbaan 184, 'S-Gravenhage
The asking price of €319,000 is 36% below the average asking price in Kortenbos (€500,148) and also below the median of €425,000. However, this apartment is smaller (69 m²) than the neighbourhood average (108 m²) and has an energy label F, which means higher energy costs. Given these factors, the price is in line with the market for a smaller, less efficient home in a central location.
The energy label is F, which is on the lower end of the scale. This means the home is not very energy-efficient, so you can expect higher heating and electricity bills compared to a home with a better label. In Kortenbos, most homes for sale have a better label: 38.5% have label A and only 21.8% have label D or lower. The exact running costs depend on usage and energy prices.
Daily shopping is very convenient. There is a SPAR express just 642 metres away, an Albert Heijn at 692 metres, and an Ekoplaza at 720 metres. All are within a ten-minute walk. A GP is also 0.5 km away. The city centre with its many shops and restaurants is on your doorstep.
