Frequently asked questions
About Sportlaan Driene 326, Hengelo
Was €806 a fair rent for this studio?
The rent of €806 was about 40% below the neighbourhood average of €1,350. However, the floor area of 27 m² is also significantly smaller than the average of 103 m² in the area. So the price reflected the compact size, and it was positioned as a budget-friendly option within the local rental market.
What is the energy label and what does it mean?
The energy label is C. This is an official registration, recorded in the national EP-Online database. It indicates the home's energy performance class, but it does not describe the condition of the building or its installations. For a studio of this size, label C is a standard efficiency rating.
How close are the nearest supermarkets?
The Albert Heijn is about 420 metres away, so just a few minutes' walk. Jumbo is at roughly 500 metres and Aldi at about 550 metres. That means daily grocery shopping is easily done on foot, with several options within a short stroll of the studio.
What is the neighbourhood like according to residents?
One resident, who has lived in Groot Driene Noord their whole life, describes it as middle class, with mainly terraced houses and some low-rise apartment blocks. They mention a nice shopping centre and note that there is little contact between neighbours, though people do greet each other. They also appreciate the nearby meadows, a ten-minute walk away.
How far is the train station?
The train station is about 1.5 kilometres from the studio. That is roughly a 20-minute walk or a short cycle. It makes the home practical for anyone who commutes by train, with the station within reasonable reach.
Is this social housing?
Yes, this studio is marked as social housing. That means it is likely subject to income limits and allocation rules set by the municipality or the housing corporation. The rent of €806 fell within the social housing threshold, which was why it was priced below the open-market average for the neighbourhood.
