Rubroek, Rotterdam
NeighbourhoodThis 125 m² apartment on Boezemweg sits in the lively Rubroek neighbourhood, a stone's throw from the city centre. Built in 1954, it has an energy label D, so heating costs are something to keep an eye on. At €499,000, the asking price is 29% above the neighbourhood average of €386,095, but the floor area is 64% larger than the typical 76 m² in the area, so you're paying for extra space. For context, apartments in Rotterdam vary widely in price and size.
Rubroek is a dense, urban neighbourhood with over 8,500 residents and a very high address density of 8,093 per km². It's a place of contrasts: many singles (over 3,000 one-person households) alongside families with children. One resident describes it as "Many cultures together" and says "good people get along well here", though they note "too little control over the parking spaces, a lot of nuisance from youngsters with those balloons." The neighbourhood Rubroek has a mix of housing, mostly flats, and a lively street scene.
For your morning bread, SPAR express is just around the corner, and Dirk and Lidl are a couple of streets away. Albert Heijn and Coop are a five-minute walk. Schools are close by: a special primary school (SBO Johannes-Martinus) is on your doorstep, and secondary schools like Lyceum Kralingen and Melanchthon Kralingen are a five-minute walk. The municipality Rotterdam offers all the amenities you'd expect in a major city.

Well, good people get along well here, my only downside is too little control over the parking spaces, a lot of nuisance from youngsters with those balloons.

About Boezemweg 158A, Rotterdam
The asking price is 29% above the neighbourhood average of €386,095, but the apartment is also 64% larger than the typical 76 m² in Rubroek. Per square metre, the price of €3,992 is below the neighbourhood average of €5,202, so you get more space for your money. Whether it's fair depends on how much you value the extra square metres.
Energy label D means the home is moderately efficient. You can expect higher energy bills compared to a modern A-label home, but it's not the worst. In Rubroek, about 34.5% of homes have a label D or lower, so it's fairly common for a building from 1954.
Rubroek has a mix of singles and families. There are about 990 households with children, and several schools within walking distance, including a special primary school and two secondary schools. The resident review mentions a multicultural atmosphere where people get along well, but also notes some nuisance from youngsters and parking issues.
The nearest train station is 1.2 km away, about a 15-minute walk.
At 125 m², this apartment is significantly larger than the Rubroek average of 76 m². Only 17% of homes in the neighbourhood are owner-occupied, and most are flats, so a spacious apartment like this is relatively rare.
The neighbourhood recorded 620 total crimes in the latest data, which is relatively high for a dense urban area. The resident review also mentions nuisance from youngsters. It's something to consider if you're sensitive to street activity.
