About Cortenbachstraat 159, Helmond
The rent is €525 per month, which is 63% below the neighbourhood average of €1,407. However, this is a social housing rental, so the rent is set according to social housing rules. The floor area is 51 m², which is 30% smaller than the average in the area. Given the low rent and the compact size, the price is in line with what you'd expect for social housing.
The energy label is C. This is an official registration from EP-Online. It indicates the energy performance of the home, but it doesn't tell you about the condition of the building or its insulation. A C label is average, so you can expect moderate energy costs, but the actual costs depend on your usage and the specific heating system.

Houses are being renovated and insulated on the outside, but residents remain the same, poor or no maintenance of front and back gardens. No waste enforcement.
