About Opzoomerlaan 116, Hellevoetsluis
The asking price of €1,095,000 is 132% above the neighbourhood average of €472,917. However, this home is exceptional: with 412 m² of floor area, it is 268% larger than the average home in De Vesting (112 m²). Detached houses of this size are rare in the area, so the price reflects its unique character and space.
Energy label C is average for a home of this age (built in 1977). It means the home is reasonably efficient, but not as economical as modern A-rated properties. You can expect moderate energy bills, though exact costs depend on usage and future energy prices.
De Vesting has a mix of residents, with 130 households with children out of 640 total. The area is quiet and safe, with good schools nearby. However, the majority of households are singles or couples without children, so it is not a typical family-dominated neighbourhood.
The nearest train station is 30 km away, so this home is not ideal for daily commuting by train. Car or bus connections are more practical for reaching nearby cities.
However, the listing does not specify the layout or whether there is a terrace, balcony, or garden. You would need to view the property to see the exact outdoor arrangement.
