About Vaartweg 190-15, Hilversum
The asking price is 70% below the neighbourhood average of €1,040,981, but the apartment is also 65% smaller than the average home in Boomberg (63 m² vs 178 m²). Given the compact size and energy label D, the price is in line with what you'd expect for a smaller, older apartment in this area.
The energy label is D, which is average for a 1976 apartment. It means the home is not particularly energy-efficient, so heating costs could be higher than in a modern home. In Boomberg, 55.6% of homes have a label D or lower, so this is common for the area.
