The asking price is €950,000, which is 106% above the neighbourhood average of €461,923. That gap is explained by the property type: most homes in De Knip are terraced or semi-detached, while this is a detached house on a 238 m² plot. The price per square metre (€14,844) is also higher than the neighbourhood average of €7,282, so it is on the high side for the area.
Energy label D is the middle of the scale. It means the home is not as efficient as modern builds, so you can expect moderate energy costs. In De Knip, most homes for sale have a better label (64% A+), so this one may need some attention to heating or insulation to improve efficiency.

How residents experience their municipality
My experience with my neighbourhood is generally very positive. It's a place where I feel at home, especially because there is a quiet and relaxed atmosphere. What I appreciate most is that people greet each other on the street here — even if you don't know each other personally, there is still a sense of connection. The neighbourhood itself is green and well-arranged, with many trees and playgrounds for children. On summer evenings you often hear the soft murmur of people sitting outside, and sometimes street barbecues or small-scale neighbourhood activities are organised. Of course, there are occasional annoyances, such as noise nuisance or parking problems, but for me they don't outweigh the positive feeling I have about living here. My neighbourhood feels like an extension of my home: familiar, friendly and liveable.
