Frequently asked questions
About Havezathe 156, Almelo
Is €732 a month a fair rent for this apartment?
The rent of €732 is well below the average for rental homes in Schelfhorst Noordwest, which sits at €1,425 a month. The average floor area in the neighbourhood is 106 m², while this apartment is 57 m², so the lower price reflects the smaller size. Given the energy label B and the 1978 build year, the rent looks in line with what you would expect for a compact apartment in this area.
What is the energy label and what does it mean?
The energy label is B, which is an official registration from EP-Online. A B label is relatively efficient, so you can expect moderate energy costs compared to homes with lower labels. The label does not say anything about the condition of the building itself, only about its energy performance. For a home of this size and age, a B label is a reasonable starting point.
How far is the nearest supermarket?
The Albert Heijn and Dirk are both just 112 metres from the front door, so you can be there in under two minutes on foot. That makes daily shopping very convenient, whether you need a loaf of bread or a full weekly shop. There are also other options within a short distance, including Nettorama at about 1.2 km and PLUS at 1.4 km, so you have plenty of choice.
What schools are nearby?
There are several primary schools within walking distance. De Telgenborch is about 429 metres away, De Tandem is 494 metres, and De Noorderborch is 559 metres. For secondary education, the nearest option is about 1.7 km away. With 40 schools within 5 km, there is a good range of choices for families with children of different ages.
How is the neighbourhood rated by residents?
Based on one review, the neighbourhood scores 7.86 out of 10. The resident describes it as a "Nice neighbourhood" but notes that "It's fine living here..except for one neighbour and the municipality that does nothing about it." That gives a mixed but generally positive picture. With a single review, it is a limited sample, but it suggests the area is a pleasant place to live overall.
Is this a social housing rental?
Yes, this is a social housing rental, which means the rent is set below the liberalisation threshold and is intended for households with a lower income. The rent of €732 a month reflects that status. Social housing often comes with specific eligibility criteria, so the allocation process may differ from a private rental. The listing does not state any additional conditions beyond the social housing designation.
