About Oosteinde 50, Voorburg
The asking price is €2,750,000, which is 176% above the average asking price in the neighbourhood (€995,071). However, this home is much larger than average: 301 m² versus 158 m². The price per square metre works out to about €9,136, while the neighbourhood average is €5,771 per m². So it is priced at a premium, but the size and detached character are exceptional for the area.
The energy label is G, the lowest rating. This means the home is not energy-efficient and heating costs are likely to be high. Given the building year (1915) and the large surface area, you should expect significant energy consumption. The majority of homes in the neighbourhood (55%) have a label D or lower, so this is not unusual for a pre-war house, but it is something to factor into your budget.
Voorburg Oud noord has a mix of households: about 770 households with children and 505 without. The average household size is 2.5 people. There are several primary schools within walking distance, and a secondary school is also nearby. However, some residents mention noise from schools and children, and parking can be an issue. It is a lively, working-class area with a strong sense of community, but not without its challenges.
Parking is a known issue in the neighbourhood, as mentioned by residents. The home is on Oosteinde, a street in a dense urban area (address density 2292 per km²). There is no garage mentioned in the listing, so you would rely on street parking. Given the complaints about parking, it is worth checking the local permit situation.
The nearest train station is 1.8 km away, which is about a 20-minute walk or a short cycle. This makes it feasible for commuting, though not directly on your doorstep.
The plot size is 1,257 m², which is very generous. However, the listing does not explicitly mention a garden.
