About Yn 'e Lijte 141, Grou
The asking price of €210,000 is 46% below the average neighbourhood asking price of €386,629. However, the home is also 33% smaller than the average (84 m² vs 126 m²) and has an E energy label. Given the lower floor area and energy efficiency, the price is in line with what you'd expect for a compact detached home in Grou.
The energy label is E, which means the home is not very energy-efficient. You can expect higher heating costs compared to a home with a better label. In the neighbourhood, 33.3% of homes have a label D or lower, so this is not unusual for the area.
The train station is 1.3 km away, about a ten-minute walk. Grou has a station on the Leeuwarden,Zwolle line, so you can reach Leeuwarden in around 15 minutes.
Based on one review, the neighbourhood has a mixed reputation. The resident, who lived there for 55 years, notes that the area has declined due to new residents causing issues. However, the overall score is 8.71 out of 10, suggesting many are satisfied.
