Auto-translated to English by AII hate it here, please get me out.
Auto-translated to English by AII think this is a very nice place to have grown up, it is very accessible by public transport and other modes of transport. Yet there are also small streets where you can play outside. There are a few playgrounds and small parks that are safe for children. And there are enough shops in the neighbourhood that you have all your amenities close by.

About Obrechtstraat 173, 'S-Gravenhage
Yes, it is in line with the market. The average price per m² in the neighbourhood is €6,286, and at 138 m² that would give an expected price of around €867,000. The asking price of €899,000 is slightly above that, but the A energy label and the apartment's size and character justify the premium. Similar homes in the area sell for a median of €770,000, so this is on the higher end but not overpriced.
