Catharijnesingel 76

The rent is slightly above the neighbourhood average of €2,419 and the median of €2,275, but the house is exceptional: 360 m² is more than double the average floor area in Hooch Boulandt (166 m²). The price per m² works out at about €7.10, which is well below the neighbourhood average of €20.96 per m², so you are getting a lot of space for your money.

The energy label is A+, which is very efficient. This means heating costs will be relatively low compared to older homes with lower labels. The house was built in 1904 but has been upgraded to modern standards.

The Catharijnesingel itself is busy with traffic, but the streets behind it (between the Singel and the railway) are described by a resident as "very quiet and peaceful". There are few cafés or amenities in that part, so it lacks a strong sense of community, but all necessary shops are within easy walking distance.

One resident notes that the quiet streets behind the house can feel scary at night, especially the route from the central station which passes dark parks and empty offices. The Singel itself is fine, but the backstreets may feel less secure after dark.
