We live in a nice neighbourhood, sometimes there's a bit of trouble but where isn't there. Lovely house, nice neighbours and everything is easily accessible. In our flat we help each other when needed and there's also social control. We're having a great time here.

About Voorweg 162, Zoetermeer
The asking price is 24% above the neighbourhood average of €481,036, and the floor area of 73 m² is 38% smaller than the neighbourhood average of 118 m². So the price per square metre is high. However, detached houses are scarce in Meerzicht-West, and this one has a large plot of 390 m². Whether it is fair depends on how much you value the plot size and the character of a 1924 home.
The energy label is F, which is very inefficient. This means you can expect high heating costs. The home was built in 1924 and likely lacks modern insulation. In the neighbourhood, only 3.6% of homes have label A+ and 10.7% have label A, while 39.3% have label D or lower. So this home is on the less efficient end.
