I live in a noisy house myself and have a lot of noise from the neighbours. Which is why I'm looking for another house. But apart from that, it's a nice neighbourhood here. With many nationalities living together in one neighbourhood. There are many activities for all ages. And there are many educational locations in my neighbourhood. But in my flat, there are also people who unfortunately just throw rubbish down from their window. As a result, there are food scraps behind the houses near the storage units and on the roof of the storage units.
Auto-translated to English by AII find my neighbourhood safe during the day, less so in the evening. Many asylum seekers walk around, who spoil things.

About Burgemeester Meineszlaan 78B, Rotterdam
The asking price is 20% above the average asking price in the neighbourhood (€514,034). However, this apartment is also 26% larger than the average (111 m²), so the price per m² is roughly in line with the market. Whether it's fair depends on how much you value the extra space and the specific location.
The energy label is D. In the neighbourhood, most homes for sale have a better label (about 80% are A, B, or C). Label D means the home is less energy-efficient, so you can expect higher energy costs compared to a more modern home.
Residents have mixed views. One says it's safe during the day but less so in the evening, mentioning 'many asylum seekers' as a concern. Another notes that some people throw rubbish from windows. The total number of crimes reported in the area is 1,224, but without context it's hard to compare.
The nearest train station is 2.4 km away, which is about a 30-minute walk or a short bike ride.
The building was built in 1910, so it's over a century old. The energy label D suggests it may need some modernisation. The listing does not mention any recent renovations, so you should expect some maintenance.
The listing does not mention a garden, balcony, or terrace. The plot size is not given, so it's unclear if there is any private outdoor space.
