However, this is a detached villa from 1888 with 353 m² of living space, more than three times the average home in the area. The price reflects its unique size, age and character, so it is on the high side compared to typical homes in the neighbourhood.
With 353 m² of living space, this home is 221% larger than the average home in Grootstal, which is 110 m². It also sits on a plot of 3,221 m², which is exceptionally large for the area. Most homes in the neighbourhood are terraced or semi-detached, so a detached villa of this scale is very unusual.

Auto-translated to English by AIMy neighbourhood is nice. There are kind people around you and you have people from young to old. There are shops nearby that I can quickly get to as a student, and homes that aren't too expensive.
Auto-translated to English by AII lived here for 25 years with great pleasure, but in recent years it has become very different. Previously, everyone knew each other and greeted each other. For the elderly, the front path was cleared when it snowed, errands were done, etc. If I hadn't seen someone for a while, I would go and ask how they were. And now... you hear that people lie dead in their homes for 4 weeks and no one notices. Pff, but luckily I'm not like that and I remain loyal to my neighbourhood and go and check in. But unfortunately, the sense of community is completely gone. Now new people move in and you don't even know their names. Very sad. I wish the old days could come back.
