Frequently asked questions
About Curaçaostraat 41B, Leeuwarden
Is €780 a fair rent for this apartment?
The rent of €780 is 39% below the neighbourhood average of €1,283, and the floor area of 61 m² is 27% smaller than the average of 83 m². With only three rental homes currently available in Nijlân, the market is limited, but this price is clearly on the low side for the area.
What is the energy label and what does it mean?
The energy label is A, which is the most efficient label on the scale. This means the home is registered as very energy-efficient, so you can expect relatively low heating costs. The label is an official registration and does not say anything about the condition of the building itself.
How far is the nearest supermarket?
The nearest supermarket is a Lidl at 235 metres, so just around the corner. A Jumbo is at 836 metres, and an Albert Heijn at 1,104 metres. For daily groceries, the Lidl is the most convenient option, and the other stores are within a short walk or bike ride.
What schools are nearby?
There are several schools within a few hundred metres. Gomarus College Leeuwarden is at 228 metres, YnSicht at 243 metres, and IKC Sint Paulus at 358 metres. Basisschool De Princenhof is at 371 metres. This makes the area practical for families with school-age children.
