Rubroek, Rotterdam
NeighbourhoodThis 1941 apartment on Herman Robbersstraat is a compact home in a lively part of Rotterdam. At 58 m² it's modest in size, but the price, €299,950, is 22% below the neighbourhood average asking price of €386,095, making it a keen entry point into the market. For context, that's well under the median of €350,000 in Rubroek. If you're looking at apartments in Rotterdam, this one stands out for its budget-friendly tag.
Rubroek is a dense, inner-city area with a very strong urban feel (over 8,000 addresses per km²). It's home to a diverse mix of people, many singles, a fair share of young adults, and a noticeable number of families. One resident describes it as 'Many cultures together', adding: 'Well, good people get along well here, my only downside is too little control over the parking spaces, a lot of nuisance from youngsters with those balloons.' That's based on a single review, so take it as one perspective. The neighbourhood Rubroek is known for its pre-war housing stock and central location.
Your morning bread run is a couple of streets away at Dirk (just around the corner), with Jumbo and Albert Heijn also within a five-minute walk. For school runs, Waalse School and OBS Crooswijk are both just around the corner, and the Koningin Wilhelminaschool is a five-minute walk. The municipality Rotterdam keeps the city buzzing, but here in Rubroek you've got a park or garden within a couple of streets away for a breather.
At the time of writing the home is listed through several channels, including Tweelwonen Rotterdam, Funda, and others. The energy label G means you'll want to budget for higher heating costs, but that's reflected in the price.

About Herman Robbersstraat 102F, Rotterdam
The asking price is 22% below the average asking price in Rubroek (€386,095) and also under the median of €350,000. Given the compact 58 m² size and energy label G, it's priced keenly for the area. However, the final sale price depends on demand and the condition of the home.
The energy label is G, the lowest rating. This means the home is not energy-efficient, so you can expect relatively high heating and electricity costs. It's worth factoring that into your monthly budget. In Rubroek, about 34.5% of homes have a label D or lower, so this is not unusual for a pre-war apartment.
Rubroek is a very urban neighbourhood with a high density of addresses. It's diverse, with many singles and young adults. One resident describes it as 'Many cultures together' and notes that people get along well, though there are some issues with parking and nuisance from youngsters. The area has good access to shops, schools, and public transport.
You have Dirk, Jumbo, and Albert Heijn all within a five-minute walk. For primary education, Waalse School and OBS Crooswijk are just around the corner, and the Koningin Wilhelminaschool is a five-minute walk. There are also several other schools within a short distance.
The nearest train station is 1.2 km away, which is about a 15-minute walk or a short cycle. This gives you access to the wider Rotterdam region and beyond.
Given the compact size and central location, this apartment is likely to appeal to singles or couples looking for an affordable entry into Rotterdam's housing market. The low price relative to the neighbourhood average makes it attractive for first-time buyers, though the energy label G may be a consideration.
