Rent & running costs

About this apartment

Currently €1,099 including utilities per month: €949 rent + €135 additional cold operating costs + €15 hot water. The landlord bears the heating costs for space heating.

Live where Hilden originated:
A private living area with 2 rooms, private hallway, private shower room/WC and private entrance is rented to 1 individual person on the ground floor of a historic half-timbered house on the Itter.
The offer combines the special atmosphere of a historic house with a high-quality shared kitchen with dining room, shared use of the garden, a modern heat pump, predominantly self-generated PV electricity and a monthly total cost that is easy for the tenant to budget.
Important: The living area does not have its own kitchen. Instead, a high-quality, fully equipped shared kitchen with dining room is used, shared with only 1 other individual person in the house. The garden, hallway to the garden, washing machine and dryer are also shared.

The landlord covers the heating costs for space heating, and they are not charged separately to the tenant.

Hot water costs are recorded separately and billed via the monthly advance payment.

The living arrangement is particularly suitable for an employed individual who lives independently, is predominantly away from home during the day and wishes to use the shared areas calmly, considerately and in a well-maintained manner.
Anyone looking for a fully self-contained standard apartment with its own kitchen or a particularly quiet location outside the city is unlikely to find this suitable. Those who appreciate a historic house, high-quality shared areas, shared garden use and a centrally located property with good transport connections will find a special living offer here.

Fittings and features, as described

The offered living area on the ground floor comprises:
2 rooms
private hallway
private shower room/WC
private separate entrance

* For shared use with one other individual, the following are available:
=> high-quality shared kitchen with dining room
=> hallway with access to the garden
=> cottage garden with veranda/covered seating area, paved roundel, large market umbrella, shed and rain barrel
=> Miele washing machine and Miele dryer

The jointly used kitchen and dining room are furnished to a high standard and form an essential part of the living quality of this offer.

* The building services are modern and sustainably oriented:
=> heat pump for heating and hot water
=> photovoltaic system with mostly self-generated PV electricity

=> Special cost advantage:
The heating costs for room heating are borne by the landlord. This means that the monthly burden for the tenant is clear and easy to calculate. Hot water costs are billed separately based on consumption.
This combines the atmosphere of a historic half-timbered building with contemporary living comfort and a comparatively climate-friendly energy supply.

Other

A quiet, reliable single person is being sought who would like to live here long-term, live independently, and treat shared areas considerately.

This housing offer is particularly suitable for people who:
=> consciously appreciate living in a historic half-timbered house
=> can cope well with a lively location during the day
=> consider a well-kept, reliable, and respectful coexistence in the house important
=> are looking long-term for a special, non-standardized living situation.

Please write briefly in your first message:
=> who you are and what you do professionally
=> from when you are looking for accommodation and for approximately how long
=> why this housing offer with its own living area, shared kitchen/garden, and historic house seems to suit you well
==>> Only after this brief introduction will I arrange viewing appointments.

Serious rental applicants will later be expected to provide a positive Schufa report as well as the usual self-disclosure documents. To maintain a streamlined and fair selection process, a detailed tenant questionnaire will only be sent after the initial preselection or after a viewing.

I look forward to your message.

Location

Location details

Elberfelder Straße 44 is centrally located near the Itter and also offers excellent transport connections.
Within walking distance are, among other things:
Hilden city centre and pedestrian zone
shops, cafés and restaurants
the neighbouring plant and grocery market
the municipal forest and outdoor swimming pool
bus stops within walking distance
The transport connections are also excellent: the Hilden motorway interchange can be reached in just a few minutes, as can Düsseldorf, Wuppertal, Leverkusen/Cologne, Ratingen, Essen and Düsseldorf Airport.

=> Important note regarding the location:
Please note the character of the immediate surroundings:
The house is set back from Elberfelder Straße, in a traffic-calmed 30 km/h zone and next to the car park of the plant and grocery market. Accordingly, a lively setting should be expected. Those who appreciate a central location, good accessibility and an active environment will find clear advantages here.

At the rear, the property opens onto the garden and the Itter. The internal garden therefore creates a special contrast to the lively front of the house.

You are welcome to view the renovated property and its surroundings from the outside in advance. (The portals display outdated images.)
