Rustenburgstraat 96

The rent of €1,650 is 54% above the neighbourhood average of €1,068. However, this apartment is also much larger than typical rentals in Binnenstad: 115 m² versus an average of 33 m². So while the price is high, you are getting significantly more space. Whether it is fair depends on how much you value a central location and a spacious home.

The apartment has energy label B, which is quite efficient. You can expect reasonable energy costs, though exact bills depend on usage and current energy prices. Label B is above average for the Netherlands, so heating and electricity should not be excessive.

Daily shopping is very convenient. Albert Heijn is 333 m away, Boni at 463 m, and Ekoplaza at 600 m. All are within a five- to ten-minute walk. The city centre also has many other shops and restaurants just a couple of streets away.

Several primary schools are within walking distance: PCBO Koningin Wilhelmina (725 m), Montessori Kindcentrum Apeldoorn (828 m), and OBS De Parkenschool (947 m). For secondary education, UGO verkennend vmbo is 809 m away. All are reachable within a ten-minute walk.

Apeldoorn train station is 1.3 km away, about a ten-minute walk. From there you can reach major cities like Amsterdam, Utrecht and Zwolle.

The neighbourhood has a total of 1,163 reported crimes, which is relatively high for a city centre. One resident mentions nuisance from drug use and cyclists in pedestrian areas. However, city centres often have more activity and incidents. It is worth visiting at different times to get a feel for the area.

With 115 m² and a central location, it could work for a small family. However, the neighbourhood has mostly single-person households and few families with children (only 380 out of 6,020 residents). Schools are nearby, but the area is busy and urban. It may be more suited to couples or singles who value space and centrality.
