About Houtelaar 27, Rijen
Yes, €512 per month is very low for a 46 m² apartment in Rijen. This is a social-rent property, so the price is set below market level. Comparable private-sector rentals in the area would cost significantly more.
The energy label is B, which means the home is reasonably efficient. You can expect moderate energy bills, though not as low as a modern A-label property. The building dates from 1974, so some insulation is in place.
The nearest train station is 2.3 km away, which is about a 25-minute walk or a short bike ride. Buses also connect to the station from the neighbourhood.
Aldi is 349 metres away, just around the corner. Albert Heijn and Jumbo are both 690 metres away, a five-minute walk. Lidl is a bit further at 790 metres. So daily groceries are very convenient.
Yes, two primary schools are very close: KOC De Brakken at 195 metres and KBS St. Jozef at 463 metres. Both are within a short walk. For secondary education, the nearest school is 6.5 km away, so a bike or bus is needed.
