The Nieuwstraat e.o. neighbourhood

The neighbourhood counts around 445 residents, and most households are single people, so the vibe is more about independence than family life. The average household size is just 1.6, and a large share of homes are rented rather than owned. It is a place where you are more likely to bump into neighbours on the way to a café than in a garden.

Frequently asked questions
About Muurhuizen 36, Amersfoort
Is €2,195 a fair rent for this terraced house?
The rent reflects a 1660 terraced house with 86 m² of living space and a plot of 148 m² in the heart of Amersfoort's historic centre. Given the age, the character and the central location, the price is in line with what similar homes in this area command. The energy label C means heating costs will be moderate, though not minimal.
What does the energy label C mean for this home?
Energy label C is a mid-range label, officially registered in the Dutch energy label system. It indicates the home is neither highly efficient nor particularly inefficient. You can expect reasonable energy costs, but not the very low bills you would see with an A or B label. The label itself does not say anything about the condition of the building.
How far is the nearest train station?
The nearest train station is 1.9 km away, which is roughly a 25-minute walk or a short cycle ride. That puts the rest of the Netherlands within easy reach, whether you commute or travel for leisure. The station connects you to the wider rail network, though specific destinations are not listed here.
What is the neighbourhood like for daily life?
The neighbourhood is compact and urban, with a high density of addresses and a strong city-centre feel. Most households are single people, so it is a lively, independent-minded area. For daily shopping, the SPAR is just around the corner and the Coop is a couple of streets away. A park is within a short walk, and restaurants are practically on your doorstep.
Are there schools nearby?
Yes, there are several schools within easy walking distance. The Prins Willem Alexanderschool is about 338 metres away, and Basisschool Sint Joris is roughly 682 metres. For secondary education, GSG Guido VMBO is about 776 metres from the home. This makes the area practical for families, even though the neighbourhood itself has relatively few households with children.
How old is this house and what does that mean?
The house was built in 1660, making it over 350 years old. That gives it a great deal of character, with the kind of historic details you do not find in modern builds. The listing does not state the condition of the building, so the age alone should not be read as a sign of either good or poor maintenance. The energy label C is a separate, official registration.
