About Kettingstraat 31, 'S-Gravenhage
At €2,190, this apartment is priced about 30% below the neighbourhood average of €3,134 for rentals. However, it's also smaller than average (61 m² vs 163 m²), so the price per square metre works out at roughly €35.90, which is above the neighbourhood average of €26.45 per m². So while the total rent is relatively low, you're paying a premium for the compact size and central location.
The apartment has an energy label A+, which is very efficient. This means you can expect relatively low heating and electricity costs compared to older properties. The building dates from 1900 but has been upgraded to a high standard, so you get the charm of a historic building without the high energy bills.
