Rietveld 230

The asking price of €550,000 is 17% below the average asking price in Centrum-Oost (€658,700) and also below the median of €630,000. Given the 101 m² floor area, that works out to about €5,445 per m², compared to the neighbourhood average of €6,580 per m². So it's priced on the low side for the area, which could reflect the poor energy label or the need for modernisation.

The energy label is G, the lowest rating. This means the home is not energy-efficient and will have high heating costs. In the neighbourhood, 40% of homes have a label D or lower, so a G label is at the bottom end. You should expect significant expenses for gas and electricity, and any improvements would require substantial investment.

Delft train station is 1.5 km away, about a 15-minute walk. From there, trains run to The Hague, Rotterdam and beyond.

You have several supermarkets within a few minutes' walk: Ekoplaza at 330 m, PLUS at 379 m, and Albert Heijn at 385 m. Restaurants are just 200 m away, and a park or garden is 500 m from the door. A GP practice is 700 m away, and the library is 1.2 km. Everything you need for daily life is within easy walking distance.

Centrum-Oost has relatively few families with children (195 households with kids out of 1,365 total). The area is dominated by singles and couples without children. There are several primary schools within walking distance, but the neighbourhood is more suited to students, professionals and older residents than to families seeking a quiet suburban environment.

The building dates from 1912, which is typical for this neighbourhood, 72.7% of homes were built before 1945. The energy label G suggests that the property has not been modernised in terms of insulation or heating. The listing does not mention any recent renovations, so you should expect an older interior and potential maintenance needs.
