About Aastraat 1, 'S-Hertogenbosch
The asking price of €628,000 is above the neighbourhood average of €344,750, but this home is larger (122 m²) than the typical home in De Hofstad (99 m²). Recently sold homes in the area went for an average of €576,458, so the price is on the high side. The energy label G also means higher running costs, which may affect the overall value.
The energy label is G, the lowest rating. This means the home is not energy-efficient, so you can expect high heating and electricity bills. In De Hofstad, most homes for sale have a better energy label, so this is a point to consider carefully.
De Hofstad is the city centre of Den Bosch, very densely built-up with 4,436 addresses per km². It's a young area with many singles and few families. Residents love being close to shops, restaurants and the market, but note that it can be noisy at night. The train station is 1.7 km away, so about a 20-minute walk.
The nearest supermarket is Coop at 624 m, followed by Albert Heijn at 884 m and Jumbo at 918 m. For primary education, KC Het IJzeren Kind is 1.9 km away, and OBS De Koningslinde is 3.7 km. There are also several secondary schools within 1.6 km.
The house was built in 1908, so it's over a century old. The energy label G suggests that insulation and heating systems may be outdated. The listing does not mention any recent renovations, so you should expect some maintenance and upgrading.
The plot size is 90 m², but the listing does not specify whether this includes a garden, terrace or courtyard. Given that it's a terraced house in the city centre, outdoor space is likely limited. You would need to check the exact layout with the agent.
