About Calandstraat 10A01, Rotterdam
The asking price of €450,000 is 50% below the neighbourhood average of €906,868, but the apartment is also smaller than average (76 m² vs 145 m²). The price per square metre works out at about €5,921, which is below the neighbourhood average of €7,728 per m². Given the central location and classic building, the price is keen compared to other homes in Nieuwe Werk.
The energy label is C, which is average for a home of this age. In the neighbourhood, about 15.5% of homes have label C, while over 70% have label A or better. A C label means reasonable efficiency, but heating costs will be higher than in a modern, well-insulated home.
The nearest train station is 2.3 km away, which is about a 25-minute walk or a short cycle ride. The area is well connected by tram and bus, but the station is not within easy walking distance.
Nieuwe Werk is very popular with young professionals. The population is mostly between 25 and 45, and most households are single-person. The area is densely urban with plenty of restaurants, bars and cultural venues within walking distance. It is a lively, central neighbourhood suited to those who enjoy city life.
There are currently 57 apartments for sale in Nieuwe Werk, with prices ranging from €250,000 to nearly €5 million. The median asking price is €535,000, so this apartment at €450,000 is below the median. In the past year, 108 homes were sold, with an average selling time of 60 days.
Several primary schools are within walking distance: De Schalm Katendrecht (709 m), Rotterdamse Schoolvereniging (779 m) and Openbare Basisschool Het Landje (785 m). For secondary education, Erasmiaans Gymnasium is 857 m away. All are within a ten-minute walk.
The listing does not mention a garden, balcony or terrace. Given that the home is an apartment in a dense city-centre neighbourhood, it is unlikely to have private outdoor space. The nearest park or public garden is just 0.2 km away.
