Pijlslaan 25

The rent is above the neighbourhood average of €2,400 per month, but this home is also much larger than the typical rental. With 130 m² of living space, it is 83% bigger than the average of 71 m², and it has an A energy label. Whether it is worth the premium depends on how much you value the extra space and efficiency.

The energy label is A, which is the most efficient label. This means the home is very energy-efficient, so you can expect relatively low heating and electricity costs compared with less efficient homes. The label is an official registration and gives a good indication of the home's energy performance.
