Kralingen Oost, leafy, formal, and divided
Kralingen Oost is a neighbourhood of contrasts. One resident calls it 'safe beautiful surroundings', praising the clean streets, nature, and nearby metro and tram. Another, who grew up here, describes it as 'very nice, cosy' and notes good schools and easy access to the Kralingse Plas. But a third review is blunt: 'No one here is social, always immediately aggressive and there is not enough green, everything is rubbish.' Based on three reviews, the picture is mixed. The area has many single-person households (average household size 1.7) and a high proportion of pre-war housing. Learn more about the Kralingen Oost neighbourhood.

Frequently asked questions
About Hoflaan 134, Rotterdam
Is €1,575,000 a fair price for this apartment?
The asking price is 64% above the neighbourhood average of €962,898. However, the floor area of 253 m² is 71% larger than the local average of 148 m², so the price per square metre is actually in line with the market. Whether it is fair depends on how much you value the extra space and the location on Hoflaan.
What is the energy label G and what does it mean?
The energy label is G, the least efficient label. This means you can expect high energy costs. The label is an official registration (EP-Online) and does not necessarily indicate the condition of the insulation or heating system, it could be caused by any aspect of the home's energy performance.
