About Noordenburglaan 38, Voorburg
The asking price is 29% below the average asking price in the neighbourhood (€687,063), but the apartment is also 26% smaller than the local average floor area. Given the size and the energy label D, the price per square metre is in line with what you would expect for a pre-war apartment in this area. It is not a bargain, but it is priced keenly relative to larger homes in the same street.
The energy label is D, which is typical for a home built in 1924. In the neighbourhood, 46.7% of homes have a label D or lower, so this is not unusual. A D label means the home is not particularly energy-efficient, so heating costs will be higher than in a modern home. There are no solar panels or heat pump mentioned in the listing.
The train station is 0.9 km away, which is about a ten-minute walk. This makes it convenient for commuting to The Hague, Leiden or further afield. The exact station is not named in the listing, but the distance is given.
There are several primary schools within walking distance: Montessorischool Nieuw Vreugd en Rust (320 m) and Professor Casimirschool (326 m) are both about a five-minute walk. For secondary education, Gymnasium Novum (549 m) and Sint-Maartenscollege (619 m) are within a ten-minute walk. The area has a good selection of both primary and secondary schools.
The nearest supermarket is Hoogvliet at 489 m, just around the corner. Albert Heijn is at 530 m, also a short walk. Jumbo is at 624 m, so you have several options for daily groceries within a five to ten-minute walk. There are also other supermarkets slightly further away.
