The asking price of €440,000 is above the neighbourhood average of €391,667 and the median of €400,000. Recently sold homes in the area went for an average of €408,929, so this home is priced on the high side. However, it has a slightly larger floor area (106 m²) than the average sold home (101 m²), which partly explains the premium.
The home has energy label C. This is a moderate rating: heating and electricity costs will be noticeable but not extreme. In the neighbourhood, 25% of homes have label C, while 50% have label B and 25% have label A. So this home is average for the area in terms of energy efficiency.
Bouwmeesterbuurt West has a family-friendly profile: 175 households have children, and the average household size is 2.3.

Auto-translated to English by AII've lived here my whole life and have little to complain about; not all neighbours are equally nice, but it has always been a pleasant neighbourhood. Playground, shops, schools, everything is nearby. I always enjoyed it here as a child too. There are occasionally some things that are less good, but compared to most neighbourhoods, I don't think it's severe. 3 minutes' walk to the forest and schools, 5 minutes to Lidl. People do throw a lot of rubbish on the ground, but unfortunately this is the case everywhere...
Auto-translated to English by AIIt has deteriorated a lot in recent years, a lot of rubbish on the street. Noise, fireworks, you name it. I still live here but would rather move if I could. I don't feel very unsafe during the day, but in the evening I prefer not to go outside.
Auto-translated to English by AII've lived in Bouwmeesterbuurt my whole life and have always found it a very pleasant neighbourhood. When I was younger, there were always children to play with and a playground. There are many schools nearby and a few shops etc. very close! It's easily accessible in many ways (car, bike, bus) and I've never really felt unsafe here!

How residents experience their municipality
We lived here very pleasantly for 23 years and because our house became too big for us, given our age, we bought a smaller home. This neighbourhood is characterised by a number of favourable factors: little turnover of residents, people are quite neighbourhood-minded and have excellent contacts with each other. Helpful, annual neighbourhood BBQ, quiet surroundings with plenty of greenery. Schools within walking distance, station and buses likewise as well as shops. Within five minutes you are on the motorway and with the A6 and A27 around the corner you can reach all directions. If someone were to ask me whether it's nice to live here, I would answer without hesitation with a firm YES.
