Neighbourhood with all ages, (I have said this about the community) many are in my opinion on their own, resulting in little interaction and cosiness in the neighbourhood. I think that if more activities were offered, there could be more interaction. For younger children there are several nice playgrounds, but for older ones there is actually nothing at all. Plenty of amenities, from train, school, supermarket, snack bar, hairdresser, dentist, sports hall all top in the neighbourhood. In the past, I felt there were more burglaries and car fires than now, which makes me feel that the neighbourhood has become safer.

About Dijkzicht 54, Boskoop
Yes, €959 is a social-rent price, which is capped by regulation. For a 90 m² apartment with an energy label B, this is a reasonable rent in the current market. The neighbourhood's average rent is not provided, but given the size and location, it's competitive within the social-housing sector.
The energy label is B, which means the home is quite efficient. You can expect relatively low energy bills compared to older homes with lower labels. The exact costs depend on usage, but label B is a good sign for keeping heating and electricity expenses manageable.
