Nieuwe Westen, Rotterdam
NeighbourhoodThis 94 m² apartment on the Heemraadssingel in Rotterdam's Nieuwe Westen combines classic 1909 character with an excellent A+ energy label, a rare find in a neighbourhood where most homes date from before 1945.

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 about 50% above the neighbourhood average of €514,034, but this apartment is larger than average (94 m² vs 111 m² average) and has an A+ energy label, which only 8% of local listings have. The price per m² works out to roughly €8,191, compared to the neighbourhood average of €4,725 per m². So it's on the high side, but the energy efficiency and size justify part of the premium.
The energy label is A+, which is the best possible rating. It means the home is very energy-efficient, with low heating and electricity costs expected. In Nieuwe Westen, only 8.5% of homes for sale have an A+ label, so this is a standout feature for a 1909 building.
The nearest train station is 2.4 km away, which is about a 30-minute walk or a short bike ride.
Nieuwe Westen is a very urban, multicultural area with a mix of ages and nationalities. Residents appreciate the many activities and educational facilities, but some mention noise and litter. The safety perception varies: one resident finds it safe by day but less so in the evening. The neighbourhood scores 7.2 out of 10 from five reviews.
Yes, there are several primary schools within walking distance: Mariaschool Schietbaanlaan (158 m), De Vierambacht (208 m), and IKC de Ark (220 m). Secondary schools are also close, with the nearest at 0.7 km. The area has many educational locations, as noted by residents.
Albert Heijn is just 290 m away, with Ekoplaza at 428 m and Dirk at 494 m. For a wider selection, there are 96 supermarkets within 5 km. Daily groceries are very convenient.
The building dates from 1909, but the A+ energy label suggests it has been thoroughly modernised, likely with new insulation, windows, and heating systems. Most homes in the neighbourhood (93%) were built before 1945, so this one is typical in age but exceptional in energy performance.
