About Generaal de la Reijlaan 8, Bussum
The asking price is €1,075,000, which is the highest of the three homes currently for sale in the Prins Hendrikkwartier. The average sold price in the neighbourhood is around €1,090,000, and the median asking price is €1,025,000. Given the large floor area (265 m²) and plot (425 m²), the price is in line with the market.
With 265 m² of living space, this house is 34% larger than the neighbourhood average of 198 m². That extra space is a key reason for the higher price. Most homes in the area are pre-war semi-detached houses, so generous proportions are common, but this one is notably spacious.
The energy label is E, which is typical for a house built in 1912. An E label means the home is not very energy-efficient, so heating costs are likely to be higher than in a modern home. The neighbourhood has no homes with labels A or B; most are rated C or lower.
The train station is 400 metres away, about a five-minute walk. That makes commuting to Amsterdam or Utrecht very convenient. The neighbourhood is well-connected, and the station is within easy reach.
The Goois Lyceum (secondary school) is 313 metres away, a five-minute walk. For primary education, the Brandsmaschool is 615 metres and the Koningin Emmaschool is 640 metres, both about a ten-minute walk. There are 38 schools within 5 km, so plenty of choice.
