About Bijdorpstraat 50, Voorschoten
At €450,000, this corner house is the cheapest of the five homes currently for sale in Bloemenwijk and 36% below the neighbourhood's average asking price of €707,600. However, the floor area of 90 m² is 28% smaller than the neighbourhood average of 125 m², and the E energy label means higher energy costs. The price reflects the need for modernisation, so it's a realistic entry point for buyers willing to invest in upgrades.
Bloemenwijk is a quiet, family-oriented neighbourhood with mostly pre-war single-family homes. 88% of homes are owner-occupied, and the population includes many families and older residents.

The nearest train station is 1.4 km from the home, which is about a 17-minute walk or a short cycle ride. This provides a direct link to surrounding cities.
The home has an energy label E, which is below the current average. This means heating and electricity costs will be higher than in a more efficient home.
