A spacious apartment in a quiet corner of Houten
This rental apartment on Dijkhoeve sits in a peaceful part of Houten, with a generous 153 m² of living space. Built in 1994, it had an energy label B, so running costs should be manageable. The last known rent of €1,855 was on the high side compared to the neighbourhood average of €933, but that average was based on a single other rental, so it was not a direct comparison. For context, apartments in Houten vary widely in price and size. This home has not been online since 6 August 2026.
