Frequently asked questions
About Houtwolplantsoen 112, Oosterhout Nb
Was €759 a fair rent for this apartment?
The rent of €759 was about 37% below the neighbourhood average of €1,207 for rentals. That made it a keen price, especially for a social housing property. The average rental in Slotjes-West went for €1,207, so this one came in well under that figure. It was a social housing listing, which explained the lower rent compared to the open market.
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 indicated a reasonably efficient home, so heating costs should be moderate compared to less efficient properties. The label reflects the official rating of the home's energy performance, though it does not detail specific installations or insulation levels.
How far is the nearest supermarket?

The only downside mentioned is nuisance from fatbikers at Lukwelpark, with a wish for more control in the area.
Is this a social housing property?
Yes, this is a social housing rental. That meant the rent was set below the market level, which was reflected in the €759 monthly price.
