About Chopinrode 9, Zoetermeer
The asking price of €500,000 is above the neighbourhood average of €440,300 and the median of €425,000. However, this home is larger than average (135 m² vs 112 m²) and sits on a 194 m² plot. The price per m² works out at about €3,704, which is below the neighbourhood average of €4,027 per m². So while the total price is high, you get more space for your money.
The home has energy label C. That means it is reasonably efficient but not top-tier. You can expect moderate energy bills. In the neighbourhood, 53% of homes have label C, while 25% have label A and 3% have A+. If you want to improve the label, you could consider insulation or solar panels, but that is not necessary for a comfortable home.
Buytenwegh has many families: about 1,780 households with children out of 4,800 total. There are several primary schools within walking distance, like IKC De Watersnip (340 m) and special education schools. The area is green and fairly quiet, though some residents note that neighbours don't interact much. Overall, it is a safe and practical neighbourhood for raising kids.
For groceries, Jumbo and Lidl are both less than 800 m away, and Albert Heijn is about 1.3 km. A GP, pharmacy and physio are also close by. There are restaurants and a park within a five-minute walk. The nearest train station is 3.8 km away, but RandstadRail stops are around the corner, giving good public transport links.
The house was built in 1976, so it is nearly 50 years old. Homes from that era are typically solidly built but may need some updating. The energy label C suggests the insulation is adequate but not modern. You should budget for potential maintenance, but the listing does not mention any specific issues.
The plot size is 194 m², which is generous for a mid-terrace house. While the listing does not explicitly mention a garden, the plot size strongly suggests there is outdoor space.
