Oude Dorp Indische buurt en omgeving, Heemstede
AreaA pre-war apartment with modern efficiency
This apartment on Javalaan sits in the Oude Dorp, Indische buurt en omgeving area of Heemstede, a part of town where the streets have a settled, established feel. Built in 1933, it carries the character of its era, yet the energy label A tells you the running costs should stay modest. With 114 m² of living space, it is noticeably more generous than the typical rental in the neighbourhood, which averages 89 m². At €3,250 per month, the rent sits well above the local average of €2,075, so you are paying a premium for the size and the label. For context, the asking price is in line with what larger, efficient homes in this area command, and it reflects the supply of [apartments in Heemstede]( /huurwoningen/heemstede/appartementen/ ).
