About Zwedenburg 5, 'S-Gravenhage
The asking price of €265,000 is 19% below the neighbourhood average of €327,528, which makes it a keen price. However, the floor area of 62 m² is 26% smaller than the typical 84 m² in Burgen en Horsten. So you're paying less per square metre than the average, but for a smaller home. The median price in the area is €310,000, so this is well below that.
The energy label is F, which is on the lower end of the scale. This means the home is not very energy-efficient, so you can expect higher heating costs compared to a home with a better label. In the neighbourhood, 62.2% of homes have a label D or lower, so this is not unusual for the area, but it's something to factor into your budget.
The nearest train station is 1.5 km away, which is about a fifteen-minute walk. This makes it convenient for commuting to Den Haag Centraal or other cities.
