Method: each source value is adjusted from its valuation date to current prices using the CBS price index for existing owner-occupied homes (by province, or by city for Amsterdam, Rotterdam, Den Haag and Utrecht; the national monthly index is used for the most recent months). The midpoint is the weighted average; the range reflects the variation between sources (at least 5%). The home's condition, location along the street, ground lease and individual features are not taken into account. This is not a valuation.

Rent: points assessment and yield
Unregulated rental sector: the rent can be freely agreed. For investors, the market rent and the yield shown below matter most; as a tenant, you cannot ask the Huurcommissie to review the rent level. The net yield is low: as an investment, this home is mainly a bet on rising property values.

In the neighbourhood of Zeeheldenkwartier, 54% of homes have higher noise levels than at this address; the average there is 54 dB.
Quiet: typical noise levels for a residential street. Noticeable during the day if you listen for it, but quiet enough at night to leave a window open. The main source is road traffic (46 dB).
Source and methodology
Lden: annual average noise exposure across the day, evening and night (RIVM noise maps 2020, air traffic 2022, wind turbines 2024, 10 m grid). A rough guide, not a measurement at the façade. The WHO recommends a maximum of 53 dB for road traffic and 45 dB for air traffic.
Flooding
1,63 m Significant
If this area floods, the maximum water depth map shows that water here could reach a depth of 1,63 m.
- Homes in Zeeheldenkwartier that could flood
- 100%
- Of these: water depths over 0.5 m
- 100%
- Maximum depth in the neighbourhood
- 2,13 m
Significant: the ground floor may flood, damaging floors, the kitchen and building services. A dry upper floor to retreat to and an electrical distribution board raised above floor level are valuable here; ask about previous flooding. The likelihood of this happening is extremely low (less than 1 in 30,000 per year): the depth indicates what would happen in a flood, while the likelihood indicates how often.
Source and methodology
LIWO (Rijkswaterstaat), maximum flood depth map, 25 m grid; flood probability: Klimaateffectatlas. The depth does not indicate how likely flooding is; dykes and flood barriers are designed to account for that probability.
Air quality
- NO₂ 17,6 µg/m³ above WHO guidelines
- PM2,5 8,8 µg/m³ above WHO guidelines
- PM10 16,2 µg/m³ above WHO guidelines
Polluted air: above the European limits for 2030, usually due to a nearby busy road, industry or intensive livestock farming. This matters for people with respiratory problems and for young children; ventilating on the quieter side of the home helps.
Average in Zeeheldenkwartier: NO₂ 18,0, PM2.5 8,8 µg/m³.
Source and methodology
Annual average concentrations at 25 m resolution (RIVM, latest map). Marker on the bar: WHO guideline value (NO₂ 10, PM2.5 5, PM10 15 µg/m³); the colour shows the comparison with the WHO guideline and the EU limit for 2030.
Light at night
Very bright
darkvery bright
Average in Zeeheldenkwartier: very bright.
Very bright: among the brightest 10% of places in the Netherlands, usually near greenhouses, industry, major roads or a city centre. Expect an orange night sky and a need for blackout curtains or blinds.
Source and methodology
Upward artificial light measured by satellites (RIVM light emission map 2023, 375 m grid), classified relative to all homes in the Netherlands: dark means the darkest 20%, very bright the brightest 10%.
Green space in the neighbourhood
24% green space within 500 m
Average in Zeeheldenkwartier: 29%.
Heavily built-up: among the least green places in the Netherlands. Expect a noticeable heat island effect in summer and little shade; a balcony or roof terrace with plants is worth its weight in gold here.
Source and methodology
Proportion of green space (grass, shrubs and trees) in the 500 m grid cell around this address (RIVM green space map 2022). Half of homes in the Netherlands have more than 52% green space within 500 m; one in ten has less than 32%.
