Frequently asked questions
About Steenvoordelaan 189, Rijswijk
Was €295,000 a fair price for this apartment?
The asking price of €295,000 was close to the neighbourhood average of €285,000 and the median of €285,000. Given the 65 m² floor area, it worked out at about €4,538 per m², which was above the neighbourhood average of €3,763 per m². So it was on the higher side per square metre, but the total price was in line with what similar apartments sell for here.
What is the energy label and what does it mean?
The energy label is D, which is average for an apartment from 1965. In the neighbourhood, 43.3% of homes have label D or lower, so this is typical. A D label meant moderate insulation and higher energy costs than newer homes, but it was not the worst. You can expect reasonable heating bills, but improvements would help.
How is the neighbourhood for families?
The Kleurenbuurt has a mix of residents, with many single-person households and a fair number of older people. There are some families with children, but the resident reviews mention a lack of good play areas and a need for community facilities. One resident says it's quiet and green, but another notes the houses need attention. It's not a typical family-focused area, but it's peaceful.
What public transport is nearby?
The nearest train station is 1.5 km away, about a ten-minute walk. That gives you access to trains to The Hague and other cities. The area is well-connected for a suburban neighbourhood.
How safe is the Kleurenbuurt?
The neighbourhood recorded 128 total crimes in the latest data, which is moderate for an urban area. The resident reviews don't mention safety as a major issue, though one notes the area is "going downhill" in terms of housing quality. Overall, it's a quiet neighbourhood with typical city crime levels.
What shops and amenities are within walking distance?
Hoogvliet supermarket is just around the corner at 212 m, and AH XL is 481 m away, both a five-minute walk. There are also several other supermarkets within a kilometre. For dining, a restaurant is 0.8 km away. A park is 0.3 km away, so green space is on your doorstep.
How old is the building and what condition is it in?
The apartment was built in 1965, which is typical for this neighbourhood, 96.7% of homes were built between 1970 and 1990, so this one is slightly older. The energy label D suggests it hasn't been fully modernised, but the structure is solid. One resident review mentions houses need attention, so check for maintenance.
Is this a good investment for a buy-to-let?
The neighbourhood has a high proportion of single-person households (855 out of 1,570 households), which suggests demand for smaller apartments. The average sold price recently was €336,397, above the asking price, indicating some upward pressure. However, the D energy label may affect rental demand. It's a reasonable option, but do your own calculations.
