Frequently asked questions
About De Groene zoom 27, Drachten
Is €852 a fair rent for this apartment?
The rent of €852 per month is set for a social housing unit, which means it is capped at a level intended to keep it affordable. Compared with the wider rental market in the neighbourhood, this is a reasonable figure for an 81 m² apartment. The exact fairness depends on your own budget and what you are looking for, but the price is not out of line for the area.
What is the energy label and what does it mean?
The energy label is B, which is an official registration from the Dutch government's EP-Online system. A B label indicates a reasonably efficient home, though it does not say anything specific about the condition of the building or its installations. You can expect energy costs to be moderate, but the label alone does not guarantee a particular level of insulation or heating efficiency.
How far is the nearest supermarket?
The nearest supermarkets are Albert Heijn and Dirk, both about 140 metres away, so you can be there in a couple of minutes on foot. An Aldi is about 450 metres away, and a Lidl and Poiesz are within about 500 metres. For daily shopping, you have several options within a short walk.
