Frequently asked questions
About Kattenstraat 20B, Culemborg
Is €1,850 a fair price for this apartment?
The asking rent of €1,850 is exactly in line with the average for rental properties in the Binnenstad neighbourhood, where the average is also €1,850. With a floor area of 75 m², the price per square metre comes to €24.67, which is higher than the neighbourhood average of €15.42 per m², but that reflects the historic character and central location. Given that homes in this area typically rent out within 16 days, the price seems to match what the market expects.
What is the energy label and what does it mean?
The energy label is A, which is the most efficient label on the scale. This means the home is very energy-efficient, so you can expect relatively low energy costs compared to homes with lower labels. The label is an official registration from EP-Online, and it indicates that the home meets high standards for energy performance.
How old is the building and what does that mean for maintenance?
The building dates from 1549, making it over 470 years old. The listing does not provide any information about the condition of the property, so it's not possible to say whether any maintenance is needed. The age alone doesn't tell you about the state of the installations or structure, as these could have been updated over the years. The energy label A suggests that the home has been brought up to modern standards, but the exact condition is not stated.

Over half of households are single people, and a quarter are couples without children, so it's a popular area for those living alone.

How residents experience their district
Nice people as long as you don't go down the wrong streets. Furthermore, the secondary schools are bad. I don't feel like the students are looked after much and it's not very hygienic there.
Auto-translated to English by AIIt's a nice neighbourhood. There are often fun activities or organisations run by the residents themselves, like Halloween trick-or-treating or neighbourhood parties. Most people are also sociable and friendly. There aren't many houses available, which is a shame.
Auto-translated to English by AIMy neighbourhood is okay. It depends on where you go. The street where I live is nice, I'm not very social with the neighbourhood people myself, but the contact with the neighbours is good. Also every Halloween we have a trick or treat party where people of all ages can dress up and go door to door! It's nice to see that it gets more creative every year. The education is not the best. From what I heard from friends who were in secondary school, it could be more organised. But the primary school is fun :D. The hygiene is fairly okay, you do see some mess but much less than if you look in Utrecht.

Auto-translated to English by AII don't talk to the neighbours very much, but it's quite quiet here. It's opposite the station and the city centre is a 10-minute walk away. Supermarkets are around the corner, there is a health centre and a childcare facility. Overall, I am very satisfied with the neighbourhood.
Auto-translated to English by AIThe neighbourhood is centrally located. You're quickly in the city, school or sports facilities. The station and shops are just around the corner. I feel safe and relaxed here. The neighbourhood itself isn't very social, but a greeting is still possible.
Auto-translated to English by AII've only lived here for a year, but it's always clean here. There's a lot of greenery and there are C-range facilities (see Christaller's theory). There are quite a few supermarkets and the train station is centrally located. However, I do find it strange that no one maintains their garden, making the alley unusable. In my old city of Zaandam, you would have gotten a fine.

Safe feeling in the neighbourhood
Auto-translated to English by AIThe area feels safe and familiar. Lots of greenery, the public green spaces are properly maintained. Close to shops, the centre and main roads. Downsides are public transport. A 20-minute walk, which is difficult for the elderly. Also the lack of a waste container in the senior neighbourhood.
