For whom is a home in Lettersveld II a good choice?
Lettersveld II best suits families and home-movers seeking space in a quiet environment without the hustle and bustle of a city centre. The demographic composition, with a strong representation of 45- to 65-year-olds and households with children, confirms this. First-time buyers with a limited budget will find it difficult: with an average selling price of €360,000, this is not a starter market. Those who still want to rent or are looking at a lower budget can find alternatives at rental homes in Lettersveld II. Be honest with yourself: the supply is limited (13 sales in a year), so if something suitable comes along, you need to be able to act quickly.
