The access is great because of the closeness to the station. The architecture is a bit disorganised and sometimes it does get a bit dirty and unhygienic; the trash gets everywhere around the bins and is not picked up frequently enough, as I have seen the same thing stay in the same place for over 9 days. But the community is diverse and at least in my area it's pretty safe, even late at night. There are a lot of students and immigrants and as an international student I feel very welcomed. My building is a bit messy but there is no serious issue like pests or anything, and for the rent it’s pretty good.

About Laakweg 19, Andel
The rent is 18% above the neighbourhood average of €1,353, so it's on the high side. However, this is a new-build (2020) with an A++ energy label, which typically commands a premium. The average rent per m² in the area is €26.92, and this apartment works out at €21.33 per m², which is actually below that average. So while the total rent is high, the price per square metre is reasonable for the quality.
Rental properties in this neighbourhood are let in an average of 19 days, which indicates a fast-moving market. With only 10 apartments currently available for rent, competition can be brisk. If you're interested, it's worth acting promptly.
