Centrum Oost, Houten
AreaA studio in the heart of Houten
This studio sits right above the shopping centre, so you step out of the door and into the bustle of Houten's main square. At 25 m² it is compact, but the energy label A keeps running costs low. The asking price of €325,000 is on the high side for a studio of this size, but that reflects the central location. For comparison, studios in Houten sell at a wide range of prices.

What is the energy label and what does it mean?
The energy label is A, which is very efficient. You can expect low heating and electricity costs compared to older homes. The label is based on the building's insulation, heating system and other factors, and it is a strong selling point for a compact studio.
