IJweg 1190

The asking price is 80% above the neighbourhood average of €653,947, making it the most expensive of the 19 homes currently for sale in Hoofddorp Toolenburg West. However, the home is also 34% larger than the average (176 m² vs 131 m²) and sits on a 1,665 m² plot. Detached houses are rare in this area, so the price reflects its size and type. Whether it's fair depends on how much you value the extra space and garden.

The energy label is E. In this neighbourhood, most homes for sale have better labels: 19% are A+, 33% are A, and 33% are B. Only 5% have a label D or lower. An E label means the home is less energy-efficient, so you can expect higher heating costs compared to a more modern home. It may be worth considering improvements like insulation or solar panels to reduce energy bills.

The plot measures 1,665 m², which is very generous for a detached house in this area. While the exact garden size isn't specified, the plot is large enough for a substantial private garden, likely with room for a lawn, patio, and perhaps a vegetable patch. The neighbourhood average plot size for detached homes is not given, but this is clearly above typical proportions.

At 176 m², this home is 34% larger than the neighbourhood average of 131 m². It's also significantly larger than the typical home in Hoofddorp Toolenburg West, where most properties are semi-detached or terraced. The extra space is a key selling point, especially for families needing room to grow.

The listing does not specify parking, but as a detached house on a large plot, it likely has a driveway or garage. The neighbourhood has a low density of 2,348 addresses per km², so street parking is probably not an issue.
