Gedempte Zalmhaven 266
Nieuwe Werk, Rotterdam
AreaA modern apartment on the water
This recently built apartment on Gedempte Zalmhaven sits in the heart of Rotterdam, with the river and the city skyline as its backdrop. The building was from 2022, so everything felt fresh and contemporary, and the energy label A++ meant running costs should stay low. At €3,495 per month, the rent sat 27% above the neighbourhood average of €2,742, which put it on the high side for the area. For context, apartments in Rotterdam in general vary widely in price, but this one was clearly at the premium end. This home has not been online since 1 September 2026.
The Nieuwe Werk neighbourhood
The Nieuwe Werk neighbourhood is one of Rotterdam's most distinctive areas, with the Euromast, the harbour and the Scheepvaartkwartier all within easy reach. It is a compact, densely populated part of the city, with a very strong urban feel and an address density of over 4,000 per square kilometre. The population is young and mobile, with 40% of residents aged between 25 and 45, and most households are single people. There are no neighbourhood reviews available for this area, so the picture here comes from the statistics rather than from residents' own words. The mix of historic streets and modern towers gives the area a character that is hard to find elsewhere in Rotterdam.
Life on the street
Daily life here is easy because so much is within walking distance. The Albert Heijn on the corner is just around the corner for groceries, and a SPAR is a couple of streets away if you need something quick. For school runs, Openbare Basisschool Het Landje and Rotterdamse Schoolvereniging are both a five-minute walk, while Erasmiaans Gymnasium for secondary education is about a ten-minute walk. The park or public garden is on your doorstep, and restaurants are just around the corner, so evenings out are simple. The municipality of Rotterdam has invested heavily in this part of the city, and it shows in the public spaces and the mix of old and new.

Frequently asked questions
About Gedempte Zalmhaven 266, Rotterdam
Was €3,495 a fair rent for this apartment?
The rent was 27% above the neighbourhood average of €2,742, and the floor area of 106 m² was 26% smaller than the average of 143 m² in Nieuwe Werk. That puts this apartment at a premium compared with other rentals in the area. However, it is a new build from 2022 with an A++ energy label, which is rare in the current market. Whether it is worth the extra depends on how much you value a modern, efficient home in this location.
What is the energy label and what does it mean?
The energy label is A++, which is the highest possible rating. The label is an official registration from EP-Online, and it reflects the building's energy performance as designed and built in 2022. For a rental property, this is a strong point, as it keeps monthly outgoings predictable.
How close is the nearest supermarket?
The nearest supermarket is an Albert Heijn at 138 metres, which is just around the corner. A SPAR is at 672 metres, and an AH to go is at 776 metres, so you have several options within a short walk. For a larger shop, there are more supermarkets within five kilometres, but for daily groceries you will not need to go far. This is a very convenient location for everyday shopping.
What schools are nearby?
There are two primary schools within a five-minute walk: Openbare Basisschool Het Landje at 445 metres and Rotterdamse Schoolvereniging at 452 metres. For secondary education, Erasmiaans Gymnasium is at 800 metres, about a ten-minute walk. There are also other schools within a short distance, including De Schalm Katendrecht and Willibrord. This makes the area practical for families, though the neighbourhood itself has a relatively small share of households with children.
How far is the train station?
The nearest train station is 2.3 kilometres away. That is a manageable distance if you cycle or take a short bus ride, but it is not within walking distance for most people. The area is well connected by other means, with the city centre and its tram and metro links close by. For longer journeys, the station offers access to the national rail network.
What is the neighbourhood like in terms of demographics?
Nieuwe Werk is a densely populated urban area with 3,150 residents. The population is young, with 40% aged between 25 and 45, and 59% of households are single people. Only 10% of households have children, so the area has a more adult, city-living feel. The average household size is 1.5, which reflects the many one-person households. This is a lively, central neighbourhood rather than a quiet family suburb.
