Nice neighbourhood with many amenities and good public transport
Auto-translated to English by AIWe have a 30 km/h zone but it's like a motorway sometimes in the evenings. Otherwise a nice neighbourhood to live in, nothing wrong with it, but many single people in a single-family home, which I think doesn't match the housing construction, while there are plenty of people with children looking for a home.

About Leo de Weijshof 15, Wildervank
The asking price is €699,000, which is 73% above the average asking price in Wildervank (€403,115). However, this home is much larger than average (275 m² vs 166 m²) and sits on a 1,625 m² plot. The price per square metre works out at about €2,542, which is slightly below the neighbourhood average of €2,788 per m². So while the total price is high, it reflects the size and land.
Energy label G is the lowest rating, meaning the home is not energy-efficient. You can expect high heating and electricity bills.
