Nieuwe Westen, Rotterdam
NeighbourhoodThis 94 m² apartment on the Heemraadssingel in Rotterdam’s Nieuwe Westen combines pre-war character with an excellent A+ energy label, a rare find in a neighbourhood where most homes date from before 1945. At €760,000, the asking price sits 48% above the local average of €514,034, which puts it on the high side, but the size and efficiency are exceptional for the area.

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 186C, Rotterdam
The asking price is 48% above the average asking price in Nieuwe Westen (€514,034), so it is on the high side. However, this apartment is larger than the neighbourhood average (94 m² vs 111 m² median? Actually the average is 111 m², so it's slightly smaller) and has an A+ energy label, which only 8.5% of homes in the area have. The price reflects its efficiency and location on the Heemraadssingel.
The energy label is A+, the highest possible. This means very low energy costs and a modern, well-insulated home. In Nieuwe Westen, only 8.5% of homes for sale have an A+ label, so this is a standout feature. You won’t have to worry about high heating bills or draughts.
