Voortstraat 17

The asking price of €399,000 is slightly above the neighbourhood median of €325,000, but the home is a detached house with a 301 m² plot, which commands a premium. The average price per m² in Nieuwenhagerheide is €2,527, and this home works out at about €3,093 per m², higher than average, but the garden and detached character justify the difference.

The home has energy label D. That means it is not the most efficient, but it is not the worst either, about 30% of homes in the neighbourhood have a label D or lower. You can expect moderate energy costs, but improvements like better insulation or solar panels could bring the label up over time.

The living area is 129 m², which is smaller than the neighbourhood average of 319 m², but that average includes much larger homes. The plot measures 301 m², giving you a private garden and outdoor space. The house was built in 1957, so it has a traditional layout with potential for modernisation.

Nieuwenhagerheide is a quiet, residential area with a mix of ages, many families and older residents. Most homes are owner-occupied and single-family. There is a park nearby, and the area feels green and spacious. The train station is 2.4 km away, so you will need a bike or car for public transport.
