This compact apartment located at Deventerstraat 20-C2 in Apeldoorn offers a unique opportunity for those looking to build their own affordable living space. With an area of 28.1 m², it is ideal for a studio apartment setup. The apartment is situated on the first floor, providing a pleasant view of the courtyard. It includes a private bathroom and a storage area equipped with technical installations, making it practical for everyday living.
The project, known as Post in Apeldoorn, features multiple rental apartments, including this one, aimed at individuals who face challenges finding rental or purchase options. Regular rental agreements can often be unattainable due to long waiting lists and high rental costs in the private sector. This initiative is designed to assist those who may find themselves in such predicaments.
Potential tenants can engage in a four-step process to secure their residence. It begins with registration and selection, followed by an option period where plans for the apartment can be developed. During the construction phase, tenants receive a budget for finishing touches and are guided by a construction coach. This ensures that the apartment is compliant with regulations and allows for personal choices in the finishing and layout.
The rental agreement is for a minimum of two years, with an option to purchase within the following five years at a predetermined price. This program is managed by Stichting Steenvlinder INC, a non-profit organization aimed at creating fair housing opportunities for individuals with lower incomes. Since its inception in 2017, approximately 60 homes have been completed under this innovative rental-to-own scheme, fostering community connections among residents.
