I've been living in Houtwijk for a while now and overall I'm very satisfied with the neighbourhood. What I particularly experience as positive are the people here. The neighbours are friendly and helpful, and there is a pleasant atmosphere on the street. The area is also clean and well-maintained, which gives a nice and cared-for feeling. Moreover, it feels very safe here; I feel at ease in the surroundings at any time of day. What I find less pleasant is the accessibility of Houtwijk by public transport. There are buses and trams, but the service is limited and connections to other parts of the city are sometimes a bit cumbersome or time-consuming. This makes it difficult for people without a car to get to other places quickly. All in all, I think Houtwijk is a nice and quiet place to live, especially because of the friendly neighbours, the cleanliness and the feeling of safety. Hopefully public transport will be better organised in the future.

Everyone neatly cleans up the mess on the street, the houses are beautiful and well-insulated, green spaces are next to the centre which is also nice and spacious. Moreover, there is plenty to do for the children. Accessibility by both public transport and car is fine.

Given these factors, the price is in line with what you'd expect for a home of this size and efficiency in the neighbourhood.
The energy label is F, which is one of the least efficient ratings. This means the home is likely to have higher heating and electricity costs compared to a more efficient home.
