AreaA classic upper maisonette in Rijswijk
This 1922 upper maisonette on Verhagen Metmanstraat 36 sits in the Bomenbuurt, a pre-war neighbourhood in Rijswijk where most homes date from before 1945. The asking price of €440,000 is keen compared with the neighbourhood average asking price of €562,781, which puts it 22% below that figure.

For context, the average asking price per m² across the neighbourhood is €4,717. This listing does not state the energy label, so that information is missing from the agent's description.

The home itself
The agent describes this as a bovenwoning, an upper-floor apartment, located on the second living floor with four rooms in total, including two bedrooms and one bathroom. The living area is listed at 97 m² by the agent, while the BAG registration records 98 m², a small difference between the two sources. The home has a volume of 375 m³ and is heated by a central heating boiler. There is a homeowners' association (VvE) with a monthly contribution of €7,500, which is a significant figure to factor into your budget. The property was built in 1922, so it has the character of a pre-war home.
