About Bernardus Gewinstraat 21C, Rotterdam
The asking price of €297,000 is 22% below the average asking price in Rubroek (€380,134) and also below the median of €350,000. However, the apartment is smaller than average at 50 m², so the price per square metre works out to about €5,940, which is slightly above the neighbourhood average of €5,244 per m². Overall, the price looks keen for the area.
The apartment has an energy label E. This means it's not particularly energy-efficient, so you can expect higher heating costs compared to a home with a better label. In Rubroek, about 33% of homes have a label D or lower, so this is not unusual for the area.
