Frequently asked questions
About Marsmanstraat 96, Doetinchem
Is €866 per month a fair rent for this apartment?
At 92 m², this is a sizeable apartment, and the rent of €866 reflects that. In the Schrijvers en dichtersbuurt, rental homes of this size are not common, so there is little direct comparison available. The price sits in line with what you would expect for a two-bedroom flat in Doetinchem, though the exact value depends on how much the space matters to you.
What is the energy label and what does it mean?
The energy label is C, which is an official registration recorded in the national EP-Online database. It is a middle-of-the-road label, meaning the home is neither particularly efficient nor especially costly to run. You can expect reasonable energy bills, though not the lowest possible. The label does not say anything about the condition of the building itself.
