Frequently asked questions
About Oud Ambacht 383, Drachten
Was €615 a fair rent for this apartment?
The rent of €615 per month was set for a social rental home, which typically meant it was below the market rate for a comparable apartment. The floor area is 79 m², and the energy label is C. Given the social housing context, the price was likely to be in line with what was expected for this type of home.
What is the energy label and what does it mean?
The energy label is C. This is an official registration that indicates the energy performance of the home. The label does not say anything about the condition of the building itself.
How far is the nearest train station?
The nearest train station is 18.1 km away. This means that for train travel, you would need to plan a longer journey, likely by car or bus. The distance is significant, so daily commuting by train may not be the most convenient option.
What supermarkets are nearby?
The Jumbo and Aldi are both about 660 metres away, so they are just around the corner. The Poiesz is about 1.1 km away, which is a ten-minute walk. There are also other options within a short distance, including Ekoplaza and Lidl, so daily shopping is well covered.
What schools are in the area?

There are also other primary schools nearby, including Christelijke Basisschool Het Anker and It Ambyld, so there are options for families.
Is this a social housing rental?
Yes, this is a social housing rental. The rent of €615 per month was below the Dutch social housing threshold, which meant it was intended for households with a lower income.
