I've been living in this neighbourhood for 5 years, and I've felt at home here since day 1 when we moved here! It's a cosy neighbourhood with lots of dogs, cats and families with young children! There are plenty of grass patches where I can walk my dog. Close to the metro and Alexandrium. So it's very accessible! I think it's a really nice neighbourhood!!!
Auto-translated to English by AII haven't lived here very long, but the type of housing isn't that great. Otherwise, it's quite a green neighbourhood with the Kralingse Plas nearby and lots of trees.

Apartments in the neighbourhood sell for a median of €349,000, so this home is priced on the low side. The average price per m² is €4,330, while this one works out at about €3,851 per m². Given the E energy label and the 1963 construction year, the price reflects the home's current condition.
Het Lage Land scores an 8.05 out of 10 from eight reviews. Residents describe it as cosy, green, and safe, with many families and dog owners. The Kralingse Plas is nearby for walks, and the area has plenty of grass patches. It's a densely populated urban neighbourhood with a mix of singles and families, and most homes date from 1945-1970.
The nearest train station is 1.8 km away, which is about a 20-minute walk or a short cycle ride. The metro is closer, making public transport accessible.
The closest supermarket is Coop at 526 m, just around the corner. Jumbo and Albert Heijn are within 700 m, so daily shopping is convenient on foot.

The home has an energy label E, which means it is less efficient than newer homes. Heating costs are likely to be higher compared to a home with a label A or B. The neighbourhood has 35.7% of homes with label D or lower, so this is not unusual for the area.
The listing does not specify the number of rooms. The floor area is 74 m², which typically accommodates two to three rooms, but you would need to check the layout with the agent.
The listing does not mention a garden or balcony. The plot size is not provided, so it is unclear if there is any private outdoor space.
