The neighbourhood Orteliusbuurt-Noord is part of the Van Galenbuurt, a dense, early-20th-century neighbourhood.

Energy label D means the flat is not particularly energy-efficient. You can expect higher gas and electricity bills compared to a modern home. The 1927 construction likely means single glazing and less insulation, so heating costs in winter will be noticeable.
