Is this address right for you?
Perfect for city living: excellent access to schools/shops, many amenities, sports opportunities, a vibrant public and international orientation. Property crime is part of the urban experience.
Very urban, diverse population, much international public, good accessibility. High transience (70% rental) and international schools present fit well.
Central, excellent access to facilities, many starters in the neighborhood (very transient). Rental market stronger than purchase (29% owner-occupied). Lower floor area (73 m²) and energy costs more favorable.
Average WOZ valuation €592k shows solid value, but very high property crime and low social stability pose a risk for resale and value growth.
Schools nearby with plenty of choice, but a very busy, transient neighborhood with significant property crime and low social cohesion. Not ideal for family stability.
Very high population density (20,751 inh/km²), much crime, transient public (70% rental) and weak neighborhood cohesion. Not a quiet environment.
