About Hyacinthstraat 25, Voorschoten
Yes, €713 is very competitive. The average rent in Bloemenwijk is €6,698, but that figure is based on just two listings and includes much more expensive properties. Given the 80 m² floor area and the large plot, this rent is on the low side for a corner house in Voorschoten.
The energy label is D. This is average for a house built in 1945. You can expect moderate energy costs, but it's not as efficient as a modern home. The neighbourhood has a mix of labels, but this home's label is D.
The plot is 1209 m², which is very large. However, the listing does not specify how much of that is garden versus other outdoor space. You would need to view the property to see the actual garden layout.
