A bright apartment in De Esch
This apartment on Hoge Filterweg sits in De Esch, a green wedge of Rotterdam that feels a world away from the city bustle. With 101 m² of floor space and an A energy label, it is an efficient home with plenty of room to spread out. The rent of €1,575 is a touch above the neighbourhood average of €1,509, which reflects the larger-than-usual floor area. For context, apartments in Rotterdam in this price range tend to be smaller, so you are paying for the extra space.
The De Esch neighbourhood
De Esch is a quiet, leafy corner of Rotterdam, bordered by the river and the Kralingse Bos. The population is a mix of ages, with a notable share of over-65s and a large number of single-person households. It is a place where people tend to stay put, and the streets have a settled, calm feel. The housing stock is mostly rental, with only about a fifth owner-occupied, which keeps the area accessible to a range of tenants. The De Esch neighbourhood is one of those spots where you can have the city on your doorstep but still hear the birds in the morning.
Life on the street
Daily errands are easy from here. The nearest PLUS supermarket is just around the corner, and a SPAR express is a ten-minute walk away, so picking up bread or milk is never a chore. For families, Basisschool de Esch is a couple of streets away, with De Gouden Griffel and Agnes also within walking distance. The Kralingse Bos is close by for a weekend stroll or a run, and the tram into the centre is a short ride away. The municipality of Rotterdam has a lot to offer, and this part of it is particularly liveable.

Frequently asked questions
About Hoge Filterweg 422, Rotterdam
Is the rent of €1,575 reasonable for this apartment?
The rent is slightly above the average of €1,509 for rental homes in De Esch, but the apartment is also larger than the typical rental at 101 m² versus an average of 87 m². The median rent in the neighbourhood is €1,250, so this is on the higher end, but the extra floor space and the A energy label help explain the premium.
What does the A energy label mean for my energy bills?
An A label is the most efficient category, so you can expect relatively low energy costs compared to homes with a less efficient label. The label is an official registration, and it reflects the building's energy performance as registered. It is a good sign for keeping monthly outgoings down.
