Frequently asked questions
About Kerkstraat 24D, Gilze
Was €849 a fair rent for this apartment?
The rent of €849 per month was set for a social housing apartment, so it was below the market rate for private rentals. The average rent in the neighbourhood was €2,950, but that was for much larger homes (146 m² on average). This apartment was 73 m², so the price reflected its size and social housing status.
What is the energy label and what does it mean?
The energy label is C. This is an official registration from EP-Online, indicating the home's energy performance.
How far is the nearest train station?
The nearest train station is 6.6 km away. That is a bit of a trip if you rely on public transport, but the bus network in Gilze connects to the station. The distance is manageable by bike or car, though it is not within walking distance.
What schools are nearby?
There are two primary schools within a couple of streets: Openbare basisschool De Wildschut at 170 m and Kindcentrum Pinokkio & De Bolster at 208 m. For secondary education, the nearest school is 6.8 km away, so older children would need to travel further.
Is this a social housing rental?
Yes, this was a social housing rental, which meant the rent was capped and the home was intended for households that meet certain income criteria. The rent of €849 per month was below the liberalisation threshold, so it fell under social housing regulations.
