Frequently asked questions
About Heemraadssingel 186B, Rotterdam
Is €770,000 a fair price for this apartment?
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.
What is the energy label and what does it mean?
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.
How far is the nearest train station?
The nearest train station is 2.4 km away, which is about a 30-minute walk or a short bike ride.
What is the neighbourhood like?
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.
Are there good schools nearby?
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.
What supermarkets are close by?
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.
How old is the building and what condition is it in?
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.
