It's a cosy village but the small playgrounds are in need of replacement. Since the playground has a winter break and children occasionally want to play outside in all weathers, that's a shame! And regarding the 'old' park, it's not pleasant for children because you first have to check every patch of grass for dog poo. It has become more of a dog walking spot than a 'clean play park'. I would recommend placing a dog waste bin with a fence around it.

About IJtochtkade 146, Zwanenburg
The price is in line with the market for a terraced house of this size and age in Zwanenburg. The 121 m² floor area and 157 m² plot are typical for the area, and the energy label D means you'll have moderate heating costs. Without comparable sales data for the immediate neighbourhood, it's hard to say if it's a bargain, but it's not overpriced for what's on offer.
Zwanenburg Zuidwest is described by a resident as a 'cosy village' that is child-friendly, though the playgrounds are 'in need of replacement' and the park has issues with dog waste. The area has many families, about 180 households with children, and a primary school within walking distance. It's a quiet, safe place to raise kids, but the play facilities could be better.
The nearest train station is 2.1 km away, which is about a 25-minute walk or a short bike ride. That gives you a direct link to Amsterdam and other cities, making it a practical option for commuters.
You have a Lidl 578 metres away, an Albert Heijn at 701 metres, and a Dirk at 837 metres, all within a ten-minute walk. For a wider selection, there are 12 supermarkets within 5 km. The village centre also has a restaurant and a library within a few hundred metres.
Energy label D is average for a house from 1967. It means the home is not particularly energy-efficient, so you can expect higher heating bills compared to a modern home. You might want to consider improvements like insulation or double glazing to bring the label up and save on energy costs.
The listing does not mention a garden, but the plot size of 157 m² suggests there is outdoor space.
