A spacious apartment in the Artiestenbuurt
This apartment on Steenvoordelaan sits in the Artiestenbuurt, a neighbourhood with a lively mix of ages and household types.

The floor area is 33% larger than the typical home in this area, which helps explain the premium. For context, apartments in Rijswijk average around 78 m².

The Artiestenbuurt
The Artiestenbuurt neighbourhood is home to about 2,320 people, with a high share of single-person households and a good number of families.

Was €2,150 a fair rent for this apartment?
