Is an owner-occupied home in Oranjewijk Noord right for you?

Oranjewijk Noord mainly appeals to families looking for space, greenery and an affordable entry point without being right on the edge of the municipality. First-time buyers can sometimes still find something here, although the transaction prices with an average of €348,750 are at the upper end of what many first-time buyers can finance. Supply is limited: only 18 homes were sold last year, so if something comes on the market that fits, quick action is advisable. Overbidding is not uncommon in this price range.
