The average price per m² in the area is €4,365, so at roughly €4,918 per m² this home is slightly above that, but the total price is low because the floor area is smaller than average.

The urbanity level is high (address density over 2,000), so amenities are close by, but it's not a bustling city centre.

The apartment has an energy label C. That means it's reasonably efficient but not top-of-the-range. You can expect moderate energy costs, but it's worth noting that in the neighbourhood, 50% of homes have label C and 37.5% have label B, so this is in line with the local stock.
