The asking price of €800,000 is 35% above the average asking price in the neighbourhood (€591,500) and well above the median of €450,000. However, this is a detached house, which is a rare type in the area, and it has a larger floor area (142 m²) than the neighbourhood average (114 m²). Recently sold homes in the area went for an average of €467,900, so the price is on the high side.
Energy label F is one of the least efficient labels, so you can expect relatively high energy costs. In the neighbourhood, most homes for sale have better labels: about 59% are label C or higher. The label is an official registration (EP-Online) and does not directly indicate the condition of the building's insulation or heating system.

How residents experience their district
There are many children in the neighbourhood and if you have children yourself it's a nice area for that. Young people don't really socialise with each other. The houses are nice and there's a park nearby, a 5-minute walk away, which is also chill. Living by the water is beautiful, especially if you have a boat.
Auto-translated to English by AIA lot of nice and friendly people who always greet and have a chat. Clean neighbourhood except for the occasional time. The only downside is the 20-minute drive to get on the motorway towards Amsterdam.
Auto-translated to English by AIFriendly neighbours, could use a bit more green but there is plenty
Auto-translated to English by AII think Zandevelt is a nice neighbourhood to live in. It's reasonably quiet here and we still enjoy it. Downside is that more and more people are walking around who don't think it's necessary to clean up dog poop. There's also someone walking around who feels the need to throw half-eaten mandarins everywhere, preferably in other people's gardens and verges. In our street (Flothuisstraat) everyone tries to keep it tidy, but because of people like this it's becoming a dump. Cans and paper are also being thrown on the street. There are enough bins, so people, clean up your own mess.

How residents experience their municipality
Nice easy neighbourhood, everything is available and easy access to the motorway.
Auto-translated to English by AIFew problems here. Only parking on the street is difficult.
Auto-translated to English by AIThe neighbourhood is quiet but I do think there should be more enforcement, especially now that it gets dark quickly, that would give me more peace of mind. What could be better is people looking out for each other more.
Auto-translated to English by AIFew problems here. Last armed robbery at the Chinese takeaway was about 10 years ago, I think. And the boss of the kebab shop on the corner of the street was arrested for drug trafficking, also years ago. They are doing a major renovation on a building two houses down from me. I'm curious what will go in there.
Auto-translated to English by AIDecent neighbourhood with nice playgrounds. Parks are poorly maintained and very monotonous in terms of planting. There is quite a lot of litter in the area and apart from two primary schools, there are hardly any facilities nearby.
Auto-translated to English by AIHere people still greet you on the street. You feel seen here. The nature is beautiful with lots of greenery and water. This is an excellent location for a growing family with excellent amenities.
Auto-translated to English by AII have good contact with my direct neighbours. Apart from that, all nice people.
