Auto-translated to English by AII've been living here for almost 3 years now and have reasonable contact with the neighbours. I have no trouble with crime or feelings of insecurity. There is sufficient social control, but not to the point where it bothers you. The houses could use some renovation, but they are busy making them more sustainable.
Auto-translated to English by AIPoorly maintained municipal gardens/shrubs. Street paving stones, which have been renewed for half of a street. And the other part has simply remained the same. After 4 years, I don't see any change coming that will fix that street. Very annoying that the last part is easily accessible because it has been renewed, while the beginning part is as crooked as can be. Postboxes disappear. Street lamps are as crooked as can be, or don't work. Bulky waste is not collected on time despite an appointment and money being paid to pick up that rubbish. Underground containers are often jammed. So you have to walk with your rubbish bags to the other side of the street! Cars cannot access the street itself. Very handy (ahem) for ambulances, etc.

About Kasteeldrift 78, Nieuwegein
The asking price of €449,000 is in line with the market for terraced houses in Nieuwegein. The home has 120 m² of living space, a 151 m² plot, and an energy label B, which supports the price. Without specific neighbourhood sales data, it's hard to say if it's a bargain, but it appears reasonably priced for what's on offer.
The energy label is B, which is an official registration from EP-Online. Label B means the home is fairly energy-efficient, so you can expect moderate energy costs. It's a good score for a house from 1975, though the label itself doesn't detail which specific measures are in place.
