About Drakensteyn 507, Almelo
The rent of €793 for an 82 m² apartment with an A+ energy label is in line with what you'd typically see in this part of Almelo. The energy label is very efficient, which helps keep monthly bills down. Given the size and the low energy costs, the price seems reasonable for the area.
An A+ label is one of the most efficient ratings, so you can expect relatively low energy costs compared to homes with lower labels. The label is an official registration, but it doesn't tell you exactly how much you'll pay, that depends on your usage. Still, it's a good sign for keeping bills manageable.
Dirk and Albert Heijn are both about 240 metres away, so you can pop out for groceries in a couple of minutes. Nettorama is a bit further at around 900 metres, and there are plenty of other options within a few kilometres if you want more choice.
Basisschool Vrije School Almelo is about 330 metres away, and De Telgenborch is around 600 metres. There are also several other primary schools within a short walk, plus secondary options a bit further out. The area has a good range of educational choices for families.
The neighbourhood has a mix of families and single households, and it feels calm and residential. There's a park about 400 metres away, which adds to the peaceful feel. Crime figures are moderate, and the area is well-established, so it's generally a quiet place to live.
The train station is about 3.4 kilometres away, so it's a short drive or cycle. If you commute regularly, you might want to factor in that distance, but it's manageable for occasional trips.

My experience with the neighbourhood is, very helpful, togetherness. We know each other..!!
Auto-translated to English by AIA nice neighbourhood to live in. Nice and quiet, public transport within walking distance, safe cycle paths, and a shopping centre a bike ride away. We live 5 minutes from a park with lots of playground equipment and walking paths. And if you like fishing, you can do that too. We have squirrels in the garden, lots of birds.

only a shame that the houses have a lot of mould because they are old houses, witvoetstraat and gravenstraat were built in the same year as merelstraat but only merelstraat was not rebuilt..

Auto-translated to English by AIIt is a quiet working-class neighbourhood with easily accessible amenities. Shops are within walking distance and you could also walk to the city centre. In addition, it is nice that there is a medical centre with GPs, pharmacy, physiotherapy and more. Schools are also nearby and there is enough play space for children. It is pleasant to live here.
