That's quite difficult since I've only been living here for a short time. But there could be more greenery and accessible paths, given that this neighbourhood is mainly 55+.
Auto-translated to English by AIIt was quiet in itself but has become somewhat restless due to migrants. Especially Poles and Bulgarians who are regularly visited by the police. Also some leftovers from the city centre. Little social control. The neighbourhood itself is improving in terms of housing in the sense that people are renovating and extending houses. There are no more schools here.

The asking price of €245,000 is 19% below the neighbourhood average of €301,748. However, the floor area of 59 m² is 43% smaller than the neighbourhood average of 103 m². So the price per square metre is actually higher than average. Whether it is fair depends on how you value the central location and the energy-efficient A label.
The energy label is A, which is very efficient. This means the home has good insulation and low expected energy costs. In the neighbourhood, about 31.5% of homes have label A, and another 14.8% have A+ or better, so this home is above average in energy performance.
The nearest train station is 27.1 km away, so this is not a location for daily commuting by train. The area is more car-dependent, though bus services are available.
