Frequently asked questions
About Mauritsstraat 272, Eindhoven
Is €1,200 a fair rent for this studio?
The rent of €1,200 is about 43% below the average rent in the Oude Spoorbaan neighbourhood, which stands at €2,088. However, the floor area of 20 m² is also much smaller than the neighbourhood average of 94 m². So the price is low in absolute terms, but you are paying for a compact studio rather than a full-sized home. It is a keen price for the area, given the size.
What is the energy label and what does it mean?
The energy label is B. This is an official registration from EP-Online, and it indicates that the home is relatively efficient in terms of energy use. A B label is a good standard for a home of this age, though the exact running costs will depend on your usage and the current energy prices. The label does not say anything about the condition of the building itself.
How far is the nearest supermarket?
The nearest supermarket is an Albert Heijn at about 300 metres, which is just around the corner. A SPAR is at roughly 490 metres, and a Jumbo is about 620 metres away. For daily groceries, you have several options within a short walk, so you will not need to travel far for essentials.
Are there schools nearby?
Yes, there are several schools within walking distance. Basisschool Anton van Duinkerken is about 180 metres away, and Saltomontessorischool de Trinoom is at roughly 285 metres. For secondary education, Van Maerlantlyceum is about 740 metres from the home. This makes the area convenient for families with school-age children.
How far is the train station?
The train station is about 2.3 km from the home. This is a reasonable distance for occasional rail travel, though you would likely cycle or take a bus for the last part of the journey. The exact travel time will depend on your mode of transport, but it is not a station you can walk to in a few minutes.
