About Herman Gorterstraat 10A, Rotterdam
The asking price is 19% below the neighbourhood average of €469,833, which is notable. However, the apartment is smaller than average (66 m² vs 89 m²) and has an energy label G, so the lower price reflects those factors. Compared to similar apartments in Kralingen West, it is priced keenly.
The energy label is G, the lowest rating. This means the home has poor insulation and high heating costs are to be expected. In the neighbourhood, only 20.5% of homes have label A, while 31.5% are label D or lower, so this is not unusual for a pre-war apartment.
Residents rate it 8.9 out of 10, praising its quietness and proximity to shops and the Kralingse Plas. There are several supermarkets within a five-minute walk, and schools are close by. The area is very urban with a young population.
The nearest train station is 1.7 km away, which is about a 20-minute walk or a short cycle.
The listing does not specify the number of rooms, but with 66 m² it is likely a two-bedroom apartment. You would need to confirm the exact layout with the agent.
The listing does not mention any outdoor space such as a garden or balcony. Given the apartment is in a pre-war building, it is unlikely to have a private garden, but a balcony may be possible.
