The price is on the high side compared to the neighbourhood average, but the A+ energy label and the location on Zijlweg justify a premium. The apartment is compact at 53 m², so the price per square metre is above the local norm. Whether it is fair depends on how much you value low energy costs and a quiet, central street.
The energy label is A+, which is the second-best label on the scale. It means the home is very energy-efficient, so you can expect low heating and electricity bills. The label is an official registration from EP-Online and reflects the building's overall energy performance.

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.
