Frequently asked questions
About Burgemeester van Poppelstraat 115, Gilze
Was €935 per month a fair rent for this semi-detached house?
The home has a floor area of 85 m² and a plot of 701 m², which is generous for the property type. The energy label was B, so heating costs should be manageable. There was no comparable rental data available for the neighbourhood at the moment, so the price stood on its own merits.
What was the energy label and what did it mean for running costs?
The energy label is B, which is an official registration from EP-Online. The label reflects the official rating of the property, though it does not detail which specific measures are in place. It is a good sign for monthly outgoings.
How far is the nearest train station?
The nearest train station is 6 km from the home. That is a manageable distance if you commute by rail, though you would likely need a bike or car for the last stretch. The station itself was not named in the listing, but the distance gave you a clear idea of the travel time involved.
What is the neighbourhood like according to residents?
One resident gave the neighbourhood a score of 8.75 out of 10, calling it a "Nice cosy neighbourhood" with "Nice houses, friendly neighbours and lots of greenery." They also noted that "the paving stones are all crooked and uneven, making it a tripping hazard," but otherwise praised it as "a nice neighbourhood with fun events." The overall impression is positive, with a strong sense of community.
Is this social housing?
Yes, this home was marked as social housing in the listing. That means it is likely subject to income limits and allocation rules set by the housing corporation. The rent of €935 per month was within the social housing threshold, so eligibility would depend on your personal circumstances. The listing did not specify which corporation manages it.
What schools are nearby?
There are two primary schools within about a ten-minute walk: Kindcentrum Pinokkio & De Bolster and Openbare basisschool De Wildschut. Both are within a kilometre, so the school run is short. For secondary education, the nearest option is about 6.2 km away, which means a longer trip for older children. A childcare centre is also close by at 0.7 km.
