A social rental apartment on Botte Jaerlastraat
This two-room apartment on Botte Jaerlastraat sits in Burgum, a village in Tytsjerksteradiel. At €627 per month, the rent is well below the neighbourhood average for rentals, which makes sense given the compact 59 m² floor area. The home is part of the social housing stock, so the rent is set within the social sector. For context, the average rental in the neighbourhood is €5,975, but that figure is skewed by much larger properties. Compared with other apartments in Tytsjerksteradiel, this one is priced keenly for its size.

Daily life on the street
For daily errands, the essentials are close by. Aldi is just around the corner, with PLUS and Jumbo a couple of streets away, so the weekly shop is a short walk. Schools are also within easy reach: the nearest secondary school is on your doorstep, and a primary school is a five-minute walk. The village centre, with its shops and services, is part of the wider municipality of Tytsjerksteradiel, which covers a rural area in Friesland. The train station is 5.3 km away, so a car or bike is handy for longer trips.

Frequently asked questions
About Botte Jaerlastraat 38, Burgum
Is €627 a fair rent for this apartment?
The rent of €627 is set within the social housing sector, which keeps it well below the neighbourhood average for rentals.

What is the energy label and what does it mean?
