The asking price of €299,000 is 56% below the average asking price in the Vogelbuurt (€686,800), but the apartment is also smaller than average (67 m² vs 148 m²). The price per m² works out to about €4,462, which is above the neighbourhood average of €3,797 per m². So while the total price is low, you're paying a premium per square metre.

The apartment has energy label C. This is a reasonable rating, meaning the home is fairly energy-efficient but not top-tier. You can expect moderate energy bills, though exact costs depend on usage. In the neighbourhood, about a third of homes have label C, a third have label B, and a third have label D or lower.

The nearest train station is 13.8 km away, so it's not within walking distance. You would need a car or bus to reach it. The area is better suited for those who rely on local amenities rather than commuting by train.
