A social rental on Elbereveldstraat
This apartment on Elbereveldstraat sits in Spekholzerheide, a residential part of Kerkrade with a calm, everyday feel. At 95 square metres, it was a generous size for a rental home, and the last known rent of €848 a month sat well below the average for apartments in Kerkrade, which made it a keen option in the current market. This home has not been online since 1 September 2026.
