Given the 140 m² floor area and energy label C, the price per m² works out at €3,750, which is well below the neighbourhood average of €5,136 per m².

What is the neighbourhood like?
Duinzigt is a quiet, residential neighbourhood with a high proportion of older residents, over half are 65 or older. Most homes were built before 1945, giving the area a classic character.

How far is the nearest train station?
The nearest train station is 3.5 km from the apartment. That's about a 10-minute bike ride or a short bus trip. The distance means the home is not right next to a station, but it's still accessible for commuting.

What is the energy label and what does it mean?
The apartment has an energy label C. That means it is reasonably efficient but not top-tier. You can expect moderate energy costs. In Duinzigt, 60% of homes have label A and 40% have label C, so this is in line with the older housing stock in the area.
