Modern Third-Floor Apartment with West-Facing Balcony and Private Parking in 's-Gravenzande
Key Features
Upsides
- Energy label A rating indicates excellent energy efficiency, which typically results in lower utility costs and a more comfortable indoor climate.
- Private parking space in the underground garage is included, providing secure and convenient parking which is often at a premium in apartment complexes.
- West-facing balcony of 11 m² allows enjoyment of afternoon and evening sun, making it ideal for relaxing after work during warmer months.
- Lift access makes the third floor easily reachable and enhances accessibility for residents of all ages and physical abilities.
- Proximity to amenities and nature combines the convenience of nearby shops, public transport, and roads with the appeal of beach, dunes, and natural areas within short distance.
Downsides
- VvE management concerns are significant, with the checklist indicating no KvK registration, no annual meetings, no reserve fund, no maintenance plan, and no building insurance, which are potential red flags for future maintenance and financial obligations.
- Non-self-occupation clause means the buyer cannot use this property as their primary residence, limiting its use to investment or secondary housing purposes.
- High price per square meter at 6,343 euros per m² for a location outside major urban centers like Amsterdam or Rotterdam may be considered elevated for the 's-Gravenzande market.
- Inconsistencies in the listing include a contradiction where the description mentions living on the ground floor while the apartment is actually on the third floor, and the VvE checklist shows no periodic contribution while the description states 185.50 euros monthly.
- Limited living space at 67 m² for a two-bedroom apartment may feel constrained, with the second bedroom likely being quite small for use beyond a home office or single guest bed.

The building is accessible for people with physical limitations and for elderly residents. The monthly VvE contribution is stated as 185.50 euros. The property is offered with a non-self-occupation clause, meaning the buyer will not be able to use the property as their primary residence.
