Frequently asked questions
About Veldschans 37, Heerenveen
Is €1,309 a fair rent for this apartment?
The rent of €1,309 is about 60% above the neighbourhood average of €820. That gap makes sense when you look at the size: at 127 m², this apartment is significantly larger than the typical rental in the area, which averages 277 m². So you are paying more, but you are also getting considerably more space than most nearby rentals.
What does the energy label A mean for this home?
Energy label A is the most efficient label on the scale, which means the home is designed to keep energy consumption low. For a rental of this size, that is a positive sign for monthly utility costs, as efficient homes generally require less energy for heating and hot water. The label is an official registration, so it reflects the property's rated efficiency.
How does the size of this apartment compare to others in the neighbourhood?
At 127 m², this apartment is about 54% smaller than the neighbourhood average of 277 m² for rentals. That average is likely pulled up by a few very large units, so this home still offers a generous amount of space for a rental. It is a comfortable size for a couple or a single person looking for room to spread out.
What is the neighbourhood like to live in?
Residents give the Centrum neighbourhood a score of 7.07 out of 10. One resident appreciates it more than where they came from, while another mentions occasional noise from neighbours and football fans parking on the property, but also notes that schools and shops are easily accessible. It is a mixed area with many single-person households and a significant share of residents aged 65 and over.
How close are the daily amenities?
The Albert Heijn is just around the corner at about 420 metres, and Ekoplaza, Jumbo and Aldi are all within roughly 600 metres. The train station is about 2 kilometres away, a ten-minute walk. Primary schools are close as well, with IKC Sint Jozef at about 700 metres, and secondary options like Aeres VMBO Heerenveen at around 590 metres.
Is this a social housing rental?
Yes, this property is marked as social housing. That classification typically comes with specific eligibility criteria and rent regulations, which can affect who can apply and what the monthly costs look like. The rent of €1,309 is above the social housing threshold, so it is worth checking the specific terms with the landlord.
