Centrum Oost, Houten
NeighbourhoodThis studio sits right above the shopping centre, so you step out of the front door straight into the bustle of Houten's main square. At 28 m² it's compact, but the energy label B keeps running costs reasonable. The asking price of €240,500 is on the high side compared to other studios in Houten, reflecting the central position.

I have lived here for 24 years and love the cosiness. Too bad I experience a lot of nuisance from the fair and some events; besides the noise and the rubbish left behind, it is a magnet for rioting youths who fight full-scale battles among themselves and with the police. Nowadays, camera surveillance and a large police force are needed to make it somewhat normal, with varying success.

About Onderdoor 5-302, Houten
The price per square metre works out at about €8,589, which is above the average for studios in Houten. You're paying a premium for the location right above the shopping centre, with supermarkets and amenities on your doorstep. Whether that's worth it depends on how much you value being in the thick of things.
The energy label is B, which is good for a studio built in 1985. It means the home is reasonably efficient, so your heating and electricity bills should be manageable. You won't face the high costs associated with a G label, but it's not as efficient as a modern A++++ home.
