Schaakbuurt en omgeving is a very quiet, diverse community with a strong sense of community, according to one resident. It's densely built-up (very strong urbanity) but feels calm. The area has a mix of families and singles, and most homes date from 1945-1970. The park is just a couple of streets away, and daily shops are within walking distance.
Albert Heijn is just around the corner at 417 metres, so you can walk there in about five minutes. Boni and Lidl are also within a ten-minute walk. For a wider selection, there are 62 supermarkets within 5 km.
Openbare basisschool De Cirkel is a five-minute walk away (393 m), and De Kleine Vliegenier is about 660 metres, a ten-minute stroll. There are also several other primary schools within easy reach, including KBS Wijzer aan de Vecht and Christelijke Basisschool De Piramide.
The nearest train station is 2.3 km away, which is about a ten-minute cycle or a 25-minute walk. It's not on your doorstep, but the bus network may help.
The energy label is C, which is average for a house of this age. You can expect moderate energy costs, but it's not as efficient as a modern home. About 43% of homes in the neighbourhood have label A or better, so this one is slightly behind the local average.
The exact size and layout are not specified, but it's a terraced house from 1946, so a private outdoor space is standard.
