A terraced house on a generous plot

The home itself was a social housing rental, listed at €896 per month, which was keen for a property of this size. For context, it was one of the terraced houses in Smallingerland, and the asking rent sat in line with what similar homes in the municipality go for.

The De Drait noordoost neighbourhood
De Drait noordoost is a residential pocket with a mix of ages, from young families to older residents. The streets are calm, and the park is just a short stroll away, which adds to the everyday appeal. Based on the available data, there are no resident reviews to draw on, so the picture here comes from the figures: mostly families with children, a fair number of over-65s, and a strong share of owner-occupied homes. It is a settled, established part of the De Drait noordoost neighbourhood, where life moves at an easy pace.
Life on the street
The daily routine here is straightforward. For bread and groceries, the Jumbo and Lidl are both just around the corner, with an Ekoplaza a little further along for organic bits. School runs are simple too, with Christelijke Basisschool De Voorde and Openbare basisschool De Meander both a couple of streets away, and a few more primary options within a ten-minute walk. The park is on your doorstep, which makes an evening stroll or a weekend kickabout easy. All of this sits within the municipality of Smallingerland, where Drachten's wider amenities are never far.

Frequently asked questions
About Hunze 81, Drachten
Was €896 per month a fair rent for this home?
The rent was €896 per month for a terraced house with 130 m² of floor space and a plot of 1,556 m². That is a large plot for a terraced house, which is unusual. Compared with other rentals in Smallingerland, the price was keen given the size, though social housing rented were set within a regulated framework, so the figure reflected that structure.
What is the energy label and what does it mean?
The energy label is C. This is an official registration from EP-Online, which gives the home a mid-range efficiency rating. A C label meant energy costs would be moderate, though the exact bill depended on usage and the current energy prices. The label itself does not say anything about the condition of the building.
How big is the plot and what does that mean?
The plot is 1,556 m², which is substantial for a terraced house. That was the standout feature of this listing, as it gave a large outdoor area around the home. The floor area is 130 m², so the living space is generous too. The plot size was a fact of the listing, though what you do with the outdoor space was up to you.
What is the neighbourhood like for families?
De Drait noordoost has a mix of households, with 40% of them having children and a further 30% being couples without children. There are also a number of older residents, so the area is not one-sided. The park is close by, and primary schools are within a short walk, which fits a family routine well.
How far is the nearest supermarket and school?
The Jumbo and Lidl are both about 485 metres away, so a five-minute walk for everyday shopping. The nearest primary schools, Christelijke Basisschool De Voorde and Openbare basisschool De Meander, are around 539 metres away. A couple more primary options are within a kilometre, and secondary education is about 1.6 km from the home.
Is this a social housing rental?
Yes, this was listed as social housing. That meant the rent was set within the regulated social housing limits, which was why the monthly figure was €896. The home was rented out through, and the social housing status was part of the listing details.
