Auto-translated to English by AII was born here, the neighbourhood has changed a lot in the past 34 years. In the past, people helped each other, now many divorced people. Greetings are no longer possible, and the biggest problem is the parking issues! And always noise from school, renovations, barking dogs, crying children.

About Prins Hendrikstraat 35, Voorburg
The asking price is 55% below the neighbourhood average of €995,071, but the home is also 48% smaller than the average (82 m² vs 158 m²). Given the compact size and energy label F, the price is keen compared to other homes in Voorburg Oud noord, though you'll need to factor in higher energy costs.
The energy label is F, which is very poor. This means the home is not well insulated and heating costs will be high. Most homes in the neighbourhood (55%) have labels D or lower, so this is not unusual for the area, but you should expect significant energy bills.

Parking is a known issue in the neighbourhood, as mentioned in resident reviews. The home is on Prins Hendrikstraat, a street in a dense urban area. You would need to check with the municipality about permits and availability.
