Who is a home for sale in Zuidwest interesting for?

Families with children form the largest household group in Zuidwest, and for good reason. The spacious homes, the green surroundings, and the proximity to schools and sports clubs make the neighbourhood attractive for movers seeking more space. First-time buyers will find it difficult: with an average sale price of €735,500 and a range starting at €325,000, the entry threshold is high. Seniors who want to live comfortably in a quiet environment can also find their place here, although the supply of ground-floor homes is limited.
