Very safe and comfortable

Auto-translated to English by AII live right in the middle of Middelland. It's a very good neighbourhood. There's a real mix of people. There's something for everyone. There are nice singles, schools, playgrounds, Marktplein and a square where fun things are often organised, each time with different themes, and a beautiful wijkpaleis where everyone is welcome, and that brings the neighbourhood closer together. There's also a neighbourhood newspaper that lists the activities at the wijkpaleis / the square / neighbourhood parties. So that everyone knows about them and feels welcome to take part. In this neighbourhood, they think of everyone and try to make everyone feel at home and comfortable in the community of the neighbourhood. Every morning the council cleans everything up and it's almost always tidy in the neighbourhood. There are 4 different trams, 2 bus lines and a metro no more than 5 minutes' walk from my house, so it's also well connected. All in all, it's the best neighbourhood for me to live in; I wouldn't actually want to leave, even though I'll have to soon because of family expansion. I really love this neighbourhood and the people.

About Claes de Vrieselaan 31B, Rotterdam
The asking price is 19% above the neighbourhood average of €548,291, but the apartment is also 41% larger than the typical home in Middelland (158 m² vs 112 m²). The average price per m² in the neighbourhood is €5,124, so at roughly €4,114 per m², this apartment is priced below that average per square metre. Whether it's fair depends on how much you value the extra space and the character of a 1904 building with energy label C.
Middelland is a very urban, mixed neighbourhood with a high population density. It's popular with singles and young professionals, but also has families and older residents.

The listing does not mention a garden, balcony or terrace. The plot size is not stated, so it's not possible to say whether there is any private outdoor space.
