A social-rent flat in Spekholzerheide
This 95 m² apartment on Elbereveldstraat sits in a quiet part of Kerkrade, with the green of a park just a couple of streets away. It was a social-rent home, so the rent was kept well below market level. At €860 a month, that was significantly cheaper than the average rent in the neighbourhood (€1,220), making it a very keen option. For context, you can see other apartments in Kerkrade to compare. This home has not been online since 7 July 2026.

Frequently asked questions
About Elbereveldstraat 68, Kerkrade
Was €860 a fair rent for this flat?
Yes, it's very competitive. The average rent in Spekholzerheide was €1,220, and the cheapest other rental was €840. At €860 for 95 m², you're paying well below the neighbourhood average of €13.22 per m². It was a social-rent property, which explained the low price.
What is the energy label and what does it mean?
The energy label is B, which means the home is reasonably efficient. You won't face sky-high heating bills, but it's not as efficient as a modern A++++ property. Expect moderate energy costs.
How far is the nearest train station?
The nearest train station is 3.6 km away, so you'd need a bus, bike or car to get there. It's not within walking distance for a daily commute.
What supermarkets are nearby?
Aldi is 536 m away, Jumbo is 627 m, and Lidl is 1.1 km. For a larger shop, AH XL is 1.2 km. All are within a short walk or cycle ride.
Is this a quiet neighbourhood?
Spekholzerheide has a moderate urban density (1,569 addresses per km²) and is not a bustling city centre. There's a park nearby, and the area has many older residents, so it's likely calm. No resident reviews are available to confirm.
How many bedrooms does this flat have?
The listing did not state the number of bedrooms. With 95 m², it's likely a two- or three-bedroom, but you'd need to check with the landlord for the exact layout.
