I live in a noisy house myself and have a lot of noise from the neighbours. Which is why I'm looking for another house. But apart from that, it's a nice neighbourhood here. With many nationalities living together in one neighbourhood. There are many activities for all ages. And there are many educational locations in my neighbourhood. But in my flat, there are also people who unfortunately just throw rubbish down from their window. As a result, there are food scraps behind the houses near the storage units and on the roof of the storage units.

About Heemraadssingel 186B, Rotterdam
The asking price is 35% above the neighbourhood average of €514,034, but this apartment has an A+ energy label and is 94 m², while many homes in Nieuwe Westen are older and less efficient. The price reflects the modern energy performance and the desirable location on the Heemraadssingel.
The energy label is A+, which is very efficient. Only 8% of homes for sale in the neighbourhood have this label. It means lower heating costs and a more comfortable home, especially in a pre-war building where most properties have much poorer insulation.
Nieuwe Westen is a densely populated, multicultural area with a young population. Residents appreciate the mix of nationalities and activities, though some mention noise and litter. The neighbourhood scores 7.2 out of 10 from five reviews. It's very urban, with an address density of 6,837 per km².
Albert Heijn is 290 metres away, just around the corner. Ekoplaza and Dirk are within 500 metres, and there's a SPAR express and Aldi within a ten-minute walk. You have plenty of options for daily groceries.
