About Van Diemenstraat 157, 'S-Gravenhage
The asking price of €450,000 is 32% below the average asking price in Zeeheldenkwartier (€657,936) and also below the median of €549,000. However, the apartment is smaller than average (74 m² vs 104 m²) and has an energy label D, while most homes in the area have better labels. Given these factors, the price is keen but reflects the home's size and energy performance.
The energy label is D. This means the home is not particularly energy-efficient, so you can expect higher heating costs compared to a home with label A or B. In Zeeheldenkwartier, about 52% of homes have label A or B, so this one is below average in that respect.
At 74 m², this apartment is 29% smaller than the average floor area of 104 m² for homes currently for sale in Zeeheldenkwartier. It's a compact two-bedroom flat typical of pre-war buildings in the area.
