Frequently asked questions
About Dwarswyk 21, Drachten
Is €898 per month a fair rent for this home?
The rent of €898 per month is for a terraced house with 109 m² of living space and a plot of 2,933 m². Given the size and the energy label B, the price sits in line with what you would expect for social housing in this part of Drachten. The neighbourhood has a limited number of rental listings, so there is little to compare it against directly.
What is the energy label and what does it mean?
The energy label is B, which is an official registration recorded in the national EP-Online system. A B label indicates a reasonably efficient home, meaning you can expect moderate energy costs. The label does not say anything about the condition of the building itself, only its registered energy performance.
How large is the plot and what does it mean for the home?
The plot measures 2,933 m², which is exceptionally large for a terraced house. This gives the property a substantial outdoor area around it, far more than the typical terraced home in a residential street. The exact layout of the outdoor space is not described in the listing, but the size alone sets this home apart.
What is the neighbourhood like for families?
De Wiken west has a strong family presence, with 43% of households having children. The average household size is 2.3, and the area is quiet and residential. Primary schools are within a short walk, and there is a secondary school about a ten-minute walk away, which suits a family routine well.
How far is the nearest supermarket?
The nearest supermarket is an Albert Heijn at about 413 metres, with a Poiesz just a little further at 425 metres. Both are within a five-minute walk, so daily groceries are easily done on foot. There are also an Aldi and a Jumbo within about a kilometre if you want more choice.
Is this social housing?
Yes, this home is marked as social housing. That means the rent is set at a level intended to be affordable, and the tenancy may come with specific eligibility criteria. The listing does not state those criteria, so the details are not provided here.
