About Donkerslootstraat 119A, Rotterdam
At €200,000, this is the cheapest of the 55 homes currently for sale in Hillesluis and 33% below the neighbourhood average asking price of €296,582. However, the flat is also smaller than average (51 m² vs 78 m²) and has an older energy label (D). Given the price per m² (€3,922) is close to the neighbourhood average of €3,875, it's priced in line with the market for its size and condition.
The energy label is D. This is a mid-range label, not the most efficient, but not the worst. In Hillesluis, 34% of homes have a label D or lower, so it's fairly typical for the area. You can expect moderate heating costs, but nothing extreme.
The nearest train station is 2.3 km away, which is about a 25-minute walk or a short bus ride. The area is well served by public transport, but for daily commuting by train you'd likely cycle or take a bus to the station.
