A 1930s apartment in Bergpolder
This apartment on de Kempenaerstraat sits in Bergpolder, a neighbourhood in Rotterdam Noord that has clearly been on the up in recent years.

About de Kempenaerstraat 19B, Rotterdam
Is €2,000 a fair rent for this apartment?
The rent of €2,000 a month is about 18% below the neighbourhood average of €2,450 for rentals in Bergpolder. With 78 m² of space, that works out to roughly €25.64 per m², compared to the area average of €29.33 per m². So it sits on the keen side of the local market, though the energy label D means heating costs will add to the monthly outgoings.
What does the energy label D mean for this home?
Energy label D is the middle of the scale, so it is neither very efficient nor the least efficient. It is an official registration, but the label itself does not say what has or has not been done to the property. What you can expect is moderate energy costs, though the exact amount will depend on your usage and the current energy prices.
