The asking price of €359,000 is 36% below the average asking price in Middelland (€556,794). However, the apartment is also smaller than average (68 m² vs 117 m²). The price per square metre works out at about €5,279, which is slightly above the neighbourhood average of €5,038 per m². So it's priced keenly overall, but you're paying a bit more per square metre for a smaller unit.

So everything you need for daily life is close by.

The home has an energy label B, which is quite efficient. In Middelland, about 26% of homes have label B, so this is in line with the better-performing properties in the area. You can expect reasonable energy costs, though older homes (built 1907) may still have some heat loss through single-glazed windows or uninsulated walls, the label B suggests improvements have been made.

At 68 m², this apartment is 42% smaller than the average home in Middelland (117 m²). That's typical for an older apartment in this part of Rotterdam, where many homes are compact. The layout is likely efficient, making the most of the space. If you're looking for something cosy and manageable, this could be a good fit.
