The asking price of €269,000 is 31% below the average asking price in the neighbourhood (€388,000). However, this apartment is also smaller than average: 47 m² versus 73 m². The price per square metre works out at about €5,723, which is in line with the neighbourhood average of €5,815. So it is priced keenly for its size, but the energy label F means higher running costs.
The energy label is F, which is on the lower end of the scale. This means the home is not very energy-efficient, so you can expect higher heating bills compared to a home with a better label. In the neighbourhood, most homes for sale have a better energy performance, so this is something to consider.
The nearest train station is 1.6 km away, which is about a fifteen-minute walk. This makes it convenient for commuting to Amsterdam, Leiden or other cities.
For groceries, Vomar is 479 m away (a five-minute walk) and Albert Heijn is 764 m away (a ten-minute walk). There is a primary school, Openbare Basisschool De Zuidwester, at 424 m, and secondary schools like Lyceum Sancta Maria at 578 m and Coornhert Lyceum at 607 m.

How residents experience their municipality
very nice and beautiful neighbourhood.
Auto-translated to English by AII've lived here for almost 30 years. It used to be pleasant: clean, good contact with neighbours, etc. But due to the steady influx of Muslims, the neighbourhood is going downhill. Lots of litter lying around, misuse of rubbish bins (throwing all sorts next to them), not being open to contact, their children breaking things... in short: they have no connection with the neighbourhood and its residents. It creates an unpleasant atmosphere..

Auto-translated to English by AISad people have no life, they ruin others' lives
Auto-translated to English by AIBy lively I mean that there are many hip young people living here and there are many amenities and infrastructure in the neighbourhood, but it is anonymous because people don't really know each other. You live there and know your neighbours, but you don't really know your neighbours' neighbours. Many people move often.

Auto-translated to English by AIIt's a shame that you see more and more rubbish lying around everywhere and more and more things are being demolished.
Auto-translated to English by AIIt is outdated, rubbish on the streets, flats don't look very nice
