At €300,000, this apartment is the cheapest of the seven homes currently for sale in the Geschiedschrijversbuurt. The average asking price in the neighbourhood is €714,071, so this home is priced 58% below that. However, it is also smaller than average (53 m² vs 107 m²) and has an E energy label, which explains the lower price.
