Frequently asked questions
About Park Seminarie 55, Driebergen-Rijsenburg
Is €1,365 a fair rent for this apartment?
The rent of €1,365 is slightly below the average of €1,475 for the one other rental currently available in Driebergen-Centrum. That other listing is 85 m², so at €17.35 per m², this apartment works out a little cheaper per square metre. Given the size and the quiet, green setting, the price sits in line with what the neighbourhood is asking.
What is the energy label and what does it mean?
The energy label is B, which is an official registration from EP-Online. A B label indicates a reasonably efficient home, so you can expect moderate energy costs compared to less efficient properties. The label does not say anything about the condition of the building itself, only its official energy performance rating.
How far is the nearest supermarket?
The nearest Albert Heijn is about 415 metres away, which is roughly a five-minute walk. A second Albert Heijn is at 570 metres, and a Lidl is at 614 metres. For a larger shop, the Jumbo is about 838 metres from the apartment, so most daily groceries are within easy walking distance.
What schools are nearby?
