A spacious apartment in Middelland
This apartment on the Henegouwerlaan sits in Middelland, a lively part of Rotterdam with a real community feel. The home is part of a building from 1909, but the energy label is A, which is a strong result for a property of this age. With 169 m² of floor space, this was a generous home, and the last known rent of €2,750 was on the high side compared to the neighbourhood average. For context, apartments in Rotterdam in this area typically go for around €2,350, so you were paying a premium for the extra space. This home has not been online since 30 October 2026.
