About Rodelaan 329, Voorburg
The asking price is 55% below the neighbourhood average of €725,600, and it's the cheapest of the five homes currently for sale in Essesteijn / Tuinen.

Compared to similar apartments in the area, it's priced keenly for a buyer looking for a smaller home.
The energy label is E. This is below the current average for homes in the neighbourhood, where about 67% have labels C or better. An E label means higher energy costs for heating and electricity compared to a more efficient home. You may want to consider potential improvements like better insulation or double glazing, but the listing does not specify what upgrades are possible.
