With an average living area of 126 m², this works out to approximately €2,318 per square metre.

The WOZ value in the neighbourhood is €178,000, which is clearly lower than the district average for De Riet (€215,000) and well below the Almelo average of €272,000.

Living in Arendsboer en omgeving Zuid-Riet Zuid, Almelo

Arendsboer en omgeving Zuid-Riet Zuid is a quiet, predominantly social residential neighbourhood on the southern side of the De Riet district.
