About Frans Halssingel 7A, Rotterdam
The asking price of €300,000 is 69% below the neighbourhood average of €965,175, but the apartment is also 48% smaller than the average home in Molenlaankwartier (78 m² vs 150 m²). Given the energy label G and the need for potential upgrades, the price is keen for the area but reflects the home's condition and size.
The energy label is G, the lowest rating. This means the home has poor insulation and high heating costs are to be expected. In Molenlaankwartier, 43.6% of homes have a label D or lower, so this is not unusual for the area, but you should budget for significant energy bills.
The nearest train station is 3 km away, which is about a 10-minute cycle or a short bus ride. The area is well served by bus routes, but for frequent train travel, a bike or car is handy.
Molenlaankwartier is very family-friendly, with many households with children and several primary schools within walking distance. The area has a low crime rate and plenty of green space, including a park just 400 metres away.
Yes, SPAR express is 384 metres away (a five-minute walk) and PLUS is 622 metres away (about eight minutes on foot). For a larger shop, AH XL is 1.1 km away.
At 78 m², this apartment is 48% smaller than the neighbourhood average of 150 m². It is a compact home, typical of older apartments in the area, and may suit a couple or single person rather than a family.
It is an apartment built in 1955, so it has the solid construction of that era but likely needs modernisation. Many homes in Molenlaankwartier were built between 1945 and 1970 (57.5%), so this is typical for the area.
