A modern apartment in Nieuwe Werk
This apartment on Gedempte Zalmhaven sits in Nieuwe Werk, a neighbourhood where the city's energy meets the calm of the waterfront. Built in 2022, it was a recent addition to the Rotterdam skyline, with an A++ energy label that kept running costs low. At €3,957 per month, the rent sat well above the neighbourhood average of €2,742, so you're paying a premium for the new build and the location. For context, that's roughly 44% more than the average, which puts it on the high side compared to other apartments in Rotterdam. This home has not been online since 6 October 2026.
The Nieuwe Werk neighbourhood
Nieuwe Werk is a compact, central part of Rotterdam with a mix of old and new architecture. The population is around 3,240, with a high proportion of single-person households, reflecting the urban, professional vibe of the area. It's a place where you're more likely to bump into a neighbour on a morning run than at a school gate, given that only about 10% of households have children. The area has a strong sense of place, with the river and the city centre both within easy reach. The Nieuwe Werk neighbourhood is one of those spots where the city feels both grand and intimate at the same time.
Life on the street
Daily life here is straightforward. For groceries, the Albert Heijn is just around the corner, with a SPAR a bit further along, so you're never far from a loaf of bread or a carton of milk. For families, there are a couple of primary schools within a short walk, including Openbare Basisschool Het Landje and Rotterdamse Schoolvereniging. The Erasmiaans Gymnasium, a secondary school, is about 800 metres away. The train station is 2.1 kilometres out, which is a manageable distance for a commute. The municipality of Rotterdam has plenty to offer in terms of culture, dining and daily convenience.

Frequently asked questions
About Gedempte Zalmhaven 352, Rotterdam
Was €3,957 a fair rent for this apartment?
The rent was 44% above the neighbourhood average of €2,742, which put it on the high side. That premium reflects the new build from 2022, the A++ energy label, and the central Nieuwe Werk location. Whether it's worth it depends on what you value, but the figures show you're paying above the typical rate for the area.
What does the A++ energy label mean for my bills?
The label is an official registration, and it indicates the home is designed to be energy-efficient. You won't be dealing with the high heating bills that come with older, less efficient properties.
How close are the nearest supermarkets?
The Albert Heijn is just 138 metres away, so it's on your doorstep for daily shopping. A SPAR is 672 metres down the road, and there's an AH to go at 776 metres if you need a quick stop. You're well covered for groceries in this part of Rotterdam.
What schools are nearby for families?
There are two primary schools within a short walk: Openbare Basisschool Het Landje at 445 metres and Rotterdamse Schoolvereniging at 452 metres. For secondary education, the Erasmiaans Gymnasium is about 800 metres away. The neighbourhood itself has a relatively low share of households with children, around 10%, so it's not a typical family suburb.
How far is the train station from this apartment?
The train station is 2.1 kilometres from the apartment. That's a manageable distance, whether you walk, cycle or take a short ride. It's not on your doorstep, but it's close enough for a regular commute without too much hassle.
What kind of neighbourhood is Nieuwe Werk?

It's predominantly single-person households, at 58%, and the age profile skews towards 25 to 45 year olds, who make up 39% of the population.
