Auto-translated to English by AILiving in this neighbourhood for over 35 years and have seen a lot of negative changes over the years. It was always a peculiar neighbourhood in many respects. But there was still something like a sense of community. But now that everyone is more to themselves and has less (good) contact with neighbours, my feeling of safety has noticeably decreased.

About Palmboomstraat 84, 'S-Hertogenbosch
At €325,000 for 67 m², the price works out to about €4,851 per m². That is slightly above the neighbourhood average of €4,614 per m² for apartments, but still within a reasonable range. The median asking price in the area is €370,000, so this home is priced below that. Given the energy label C and the 1962 construction, the price seems in line with the market.
The energy label is C, which is average for a home of this age. In the neighbourhood, 56.3% of homes have label C, and 18.8% have label B. A C label means the home is reasonably efficient, but you can expect moderate energy costs. It is not as efficient as a modern A-label home, but not as costly as a G-label property.
The train station is 1.2 km away, about a ten-minute walk. The station provides connections to other cities.
