About Prins Hendrikstraat 24, Voorburg
The asking price of €430,000 is 57% below the neighbourhood average of €995,071, but the home is also 44% smaller than the average (89 m² vs 158 m²). The large plot of 2730 m² is unusual for a terraced house. Compared to recent sales in the area, which averaged €865,410, this price is on the low side, but the smaller floor area explains part of the difference.
