About Van Straelenlaan 16, 'S-Hertogenbosch
At €715,000, this is the most expensive home for sale in De Kruiskamp and 73% above the neighbourhood average asking price of €413,052.

The energy label is E. In De Kruiskamp, most homes for sale have a better label: 48% are label B or higher, and only 24% are D or lower.
