Very cosy, quiet and a beautiful environment
Auto-translated to English by AINeighbours often argue with their families and shout outside, there's also a lot of renovation going on in the area from early to late, and sometimes strange people hang around the supermarket when it starts to get darker. The buses, metros and train are all nearby, but it's a shame that bus 77 is gone, because now I have to walk quite far to get there. There isn't much nature, since I live almost in the middle of the city. Walking to the metros is also quite a distance. Besides that, I find my neighbourhood very nice. I feel safe and at ease.
Auto-translated to English by AIThe lift is always broken…….and left dirty. Neighbours are okay, not much communication but there is a bit of noise now and then. I feel safe in my neighbourhood. There aren't really any nice playgrounds nearby, which is a shame…

About Handelsplein 35, Rotterdam
The asking price of €695,000 is 27% above the neighbourhood average of €547,219. However, this apartment is also 53% larger than the average home in the area (165 m² vs 108 m²). The price per square metre works out at about €4,212, which is below the neighbourhood average of €5,089 per m². So while the total price is high, you're getting more space for your money.
The apartment has an energy label D. This means it's not the most efficient, most homes in the neighbourhood have better labels (over 80% are A or A+). With label D, you can expect higher heating costs compared to a more modern, better-insulated home. It's worth factoring that into your budget.
Residents generally feel safe, with one saying 'I feel safe and at ease.' However, noise is a common theme: neighbours sometimes argue and shout, and there's renovation work going on. The lift in the building is also reported to break down often. It's a lively, urban area with a mix of cultures, so some noise is to be expected.
The train station is 1.4 km away, about a ten-minute walk. Buses and metros are also nearby, though one resident noted that bus 77 has been discontinued, making some journeys longer. The area is well connected for getting around Rotterdam.
Yes, daily shopping is very convenient with a Jumbo supermarket right at the building. Primary schools like De Pijler and De Nieuwe Haven are within a five-minute walk. For secondary schools, you'd need to walk about ten minutes. There are also plenty of restaurants and a park within walking distance.
The building dates from 1879, which is notably old for this neighbourhood where most homes were built after 1990. The energy label D suggests it may not have modern insulation. The listing doesn't mention any recent renovations, so you'd want to check the condition of the plumbing, wiring and roof.
The neighbourhood has a mix of households, with about 37% having children. There are primary schools nearby, but residents note a lack of nice playgrounds. The area is very urban and dense, so it's more suited to those who enjoy city life rather than quiet suburban living.
