Frequently asked questions
About Spreeuwenlaan 14, 'S-Gravenhage
Was €885,000 a fair price for this apartment?
The asking price of €885,000 was 21% below the neighbourhood average of €1,117,333 and well under the median of €1,167,500. Given the 146 m² floor area and the location in Vogelwijk, it was priced keenly compared to other homes at the time on the market.
What is the energy label and what does it mean?
The home has an energy label E. This meant it was less efficient than newer homes, so heating costs were likely to be higher. In Vogelwijk, over half of homes have a label D or lower, so this is not unusual for the area.

How many bedrooms does the apartment have?
The floor area of 146 m² suggested generous space, but the exact layout and number of rooms were not provided by the agent.
Is there a garden or outdoor space?
The listing did not mention a garden, balcony, or terrace. The plot size is not given, so it's unclear if there is any private outdoor space.

In the past year, sold homes in Vogelwijk took an average of 35 days to sell. That's a fairly typical timeframe, suggesting a balanced market without extreme urgency.
