Frequently asked questions
About Ahornlaan 23, Rotterdam
Is €235,000 a fair price for this apartment?
At €235,000, this is the cheapest home currently for sale in Schiebroek. The average asking price in the neighbourhood is €526,306, so this apartment is 55% below that. However, it's also smaller (66 m² vs. 105 m² average) and has a G energy label, which means higher energy costs. Compared to similar apartments sold recently, the price is in line with its size and condition.
What is the energy label and what does it mean?
The energy label is G, the lowest rating. This means the home is not energy-efficient and you can expect high heating bills. In Schiebroek, 41.5% of homes have a label D or lower, so this is not unusual for an older building from 1961. You may want to consider energy-saving improvements, but the listing does not mention any recent upgrades.
How is the neighbourhood Schiebroek?
Schiebroek is a densely populated urban area with a mix of ages and household types. Residents have reported some issues with litter, loitering youths, and noise, but the overall rating is 7.48 out of 10. The neighbourhood has good amenities, including supermarkets and schools within walking distance. It's a lively area with a high address density.
What are the monthly costs besides the mortgage?
The listing does not specify service charges or ground lease. For an apartment, you typically pay a monthly service charge to the homeowners' association (VvE). Given the G energy label, utility costs will be higher than average.
How far is the train station?
The nearest train station is 2.5 km from the apartment. That's about a 30-minute walk or a short bike ride.
What schools are nearby?
Several schools are within walking distance. The Openbare Montessorischool Tuinstad Schiebroek (primary) is 268 m away, and Wolfert Dalton (secondary) is 393 m away. There are also other primary and special education schools nearby, making it convenient for families with children.
Is there a garden or outdoor space?
The listing does not mention a garden, balcony, or terrace. The plot size is not stated, so it's unclear if there is any private outdoor space.
