About Vrijheidslaan 111, Gouda
The asking price of €250,000 is 26% below the average asking price in Oosterwei (€336,643) and also below the median of €269,000. However, the flat is smaller than average (57 m² vs 77 m²). Given the energy label E and the 1961 build year, the price is keen but reflects the home's condition and size.
The energy label is E, which means the home is not very energy-efficient. You can expect higher heating costs compared to a modern home. In the neighbourhood, 71.4% of homes have a label D or lower, so this is typical for the area.
