NeighbourhoodThis 28 m² studio sits right above the shopping centre in Houten, with the lively bustle of the square just below your window. The energy label A means low heating costs, and the asking price of €262,500 is in line with what you'd expect for a compact studio in this part of town. For context, studios in Houten vary widely, but this one is priced keenly given its 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.
