About Perenstraat 78, 'S-Gravenhage
The asking price of €369,000 is 38% below the average asking price in Vruchtenbuurt (€597,581) and also below the median of €495,000. However, this apartment is smaller than average (78 m² vs 123 m²) and has an energy label F, which means higher heating costs. Given the lower price per square metre (€4,731 vs the neighbourhood average of €4,734), it is priced in line with the market for its size and condition.
The energy label is F, which is one of the least efficient ratings. This means you can expect relatively high energy bills for heating and hot water. In Vruchtenbuurt, over half of homes (53.3%) have a label D or lower, so an F label is not unusual for a pre-war building. You may want to consider energy-saving improvements, but the listing does not provide details on insulation or the heating system.
Vruchtenbuurt is described by residents as a mixed community with families, students and seniors. There are nice shops, restaurants, playgrounds and parks. The neighbourhood scores 7.38 out of 10 based on two reviews. It is densely populated (over 5,000 addresses per km²) and mostly consists of pre-war owner-occupied homes. The area has a good mix of ages, with many families and a significant number of residents aged 45-65.
You have several supermarkets within walking distance: Albert Heijn at 811 m, Aldi at 844 m, and Jumbo at 995 m. There are also primary schools within about 5 km, with the nearest being WSKO Basisschool De Hofvilla at 4.7 km. A restaurant is just 0.3 km away, and a park or public garden is 0.6 km away. The nearest train station is 5.2 km away, so public transport connections are limited for longer trips.
At 78 m², this apartment is 37% smaller than the average home in Vruchtenbuurt (123 m²). The average price per square metre for homes currently for sale is €4,734, and this apartment works out at €4,731 per m², almost exactly the neighbourhood average. So you are paying a fair price per square metre, but getting less space than typical.
This is an apartment built in 1932, which is typical for Vruchtenbuurt where 95.6% of homes were built before 1945. The building likely has characteristic pre-war features such as high ceilings and solid construction, but may also have less efficient insulation and older installations.
