Frequently asked questions
About De Wetterwille 43, Drachten
Is €781 per month a fair rent for this home?
The rent of €781 is well below the average of €1,445 for rental homes in De Folgeren centrum, and the home has a floor area of 94 m². Given the size and the neighbourhood, the price is on the low side compared with what is typically asked. The home is social housing, which explains the lower rent.
What does the energy label C mean for this home?
Energy label C is a mid-range label, meaning the home is neither the most efficient nor the least efficient on the scale. It is an official registration, so the label reflects the property's energy performance as recorded. You can expect moderate energy costs, but the label does not say anything about the condition of the building itself.
How big is the plot and what does it mean?
The plot measures 751 m², which is generous for a terraced house. This gives you outdoor space around the home, though the listing does not specify how it is laid out. The floor area of the home itself is 94 m², so the plot offers more room outside than the footprint of the house.
What is the neighbourhood like for families?
De Folgeren centrum has a mix of households, with 36% being families with children and 40% single-person households. There are children of all ages in the area, and the presence of several primary schools nearby, including OBS De Bolder and Christelijke Basisschool Het Anker, makes it a practical place for families. The streets are residential and quiet.
How close are the nearest shops and schools?
The Jumbo and Aldi supermarkets are both about 526 metres away, so a five-minute walk gets you to the shops. The nearest primary school, OBS De Bolder, is 409 metres away, and another primary school is 474 metres away. A child daycare centre is 400 metres from the home, and the nearest secondary school is 1.9 km away.
Is this home part of social housing?
Yes, the listing states that this is social housing. That means the rent is set at a level intended to be affordable, and there may be eligibility criteria for who can rent it. The rent of €781 per month reflects this social housing status, which is lower than the average market rent in the neighbourhood.
