About Van Boelenslaan 24, Beetsterzwaag
The asking price of €625,000 is in line with the local market.

The apartment has energy label B, which is efficient. You can expect moderate energy costs, though not as low as a modern A-label home. The neighbourhood has a mix of labels: about a third of homes are label A, while two-thirds are D or lower, so this home performs better than many in the area.
