Frequently asked questions
About Dorpsstraat 51, Vaassen
Is €1,450 a fair rent for this apartment?
The rent of €1,450 is exactly in line with the only other rental property currently available in Vaassen Centrum, which also asks €1,450. With 207 m² of floor area, the price per square metre works out to about €7, which is reasonable for a property of this size. The home is spacious and centrally located, so the rent reflects the generous living space.
What is the energy label and what does it mean?
The energy label is C, which is an official registration recorded in the national EP-Online database. A C label indicates a moderate level of energy efficiency, so you can expect energy costs that are neither very low nor very high. The label does not say anything about the condition of the building itself, only about its energy performance.
How close are the nearest shops?
The Aldi is just 82 metres away, so you can be there in under a minute on foot. Albert Heijn is at 101 metres and Dekamarkt at 123 metres, meaning you have several supermarkets within a very short walk. This makes daily shopping particularly convenient, with the centre's shops, doctor and pharmacy also close by, as one resident notes.
What is the neighbourhood like for older residents?
Vaassen Centrum has a notably older population, with 53% of residents aged 65 or over. This suggests a quiet, settled community where many people have lived for a long time. One resident describes it as a "Quiet safe neighbourhood" with good amenities nearby, which may appeal to those looking for a peaceful environment.
Are there schools within walking distance?
Yes, there are several primary schools within a ten-minute walk. Christelijke Basisschool De Violier is 480 metres away, De Sprenge Vaassen is at 558 metres, and Rooms Katholieke Basisschool Gerardus Majella is 626 metres away. For secondary education, the nearest school is 6.7 km away, so older children would need to travel further.
How is the public transport connection?
The nearest train station is 10.2 km away, so rail travel requires a drive or bus ride. However, one resident notes that "accessibility is fine if you come by car and parking is free everywhere," and mentions a "good bus connection." This makes the village practical for those who rely on a car.
