About Gretha Hofstralaan 117, Vlaardingen
The asking price of €985,000 is on the high side for a terraced house in this part of Vlaardingen, but the 184 m² floor area, 300 m² plot, and modern build (2013) with energy label A justify a premium. Without comparable sales data for the immediate neighbourhood, it's best to view the price in the context of the home's size and efficiency.
The energy label is A, which is very efficient. This means the home has good insulation and modern heating, so you can expect relatively low energy bills compared to older homes. The exact costs depend on usage, but label A is among the best ratings.
The nearest train station is 5.6 km away, so it's not within walking distance. You would need a bike, car, or bus to reach it. The station itself is not named in the listing, but the distance gives an idea of the travel time.

The plot is 300 m², but the listing does not specify whether this includes a garden or how it is laid out. The house was built in 2013, so the outdoor space is likely well-maintained, but you would need to view the property to see the exact garden size and design.
