Aelbrechtskade 21B
Nieuwe Westen · 3022 HL Rotterdam
A classic Rotterdam apartment with a keen price
This apartment on the Aelbrechtskade sits in the Nieuwe Westen, a lively part of Delfshaven where the streets are full of pre-war housing. Built in 1927, it is a typical example of the area's older stock, and it carries an energy label A. The last known asking price of €175,000 was keen, which the data confirmed: it sat 62% below the neighbourhood average asking price of €462,692, and it was the cheapest of the 130 homes at the time for sale here. For context, that average is based on a mix of property types, so the comparison is a broad one. This home has not been online since 13 November 2026.
The home itself
According to the agent, this apartment had three rooms, two bedrooms and one bathroom. The living area was listed as 62 m² in the agent's particulars, while the BAG registration records 88 m². Both figures are given here as they come from different sources. The home was built in 1927, and the energy label is A, which is an efficient label. The listing did not mention any garden, balcony or garage, so outdoor space was not part of the picture.
