About Traaij 242, Driebergen-Rijsenburg
The asking price of €945,000 is on the high side compared to other semi-detached homes in Utrechtse Heuvelrug. However, the 496 m² plot is larger than average for this type, and the energy label C means heating costs are moderate. The final sale price will depend on how much buyers value the generous garden and the quiet location.
The home has energy label C, which is reasonably efficient. You can expect moderate energy bills, but it's not as cheap to run as a modern A-label home. The label is based on the building's insulation and installations, so you may want to check the exact details with the agent.
Driebergen-Noord is popular with families: 335 households have children, and there are several primary schools within walking distance. The streets are quiet and safe, with a low crime rate.

Lidl is just under a kilometre away, and Albert Heijn is about 1.1 km, both within a ten-minute walk. For dining, there's a restaurant 500 metres away. The nearest park is 1.3 km, and the library is 1.6 km. Daily errands are easily done on foot or by bike.
