Auto-translated to English by AII live right in the middle of Middelland. It's a very good neighbourhood. There's a real mix of people. There's something for everyone. There are nice singles, schools, playgrounds, Marktplein and a square where fun things are often organised, each time with different themes, and a beautiful wijkpaleis where everyone is welcome, and that brings the neighbourhood closer together. There's also a neighbourhood newspaper that lists the activities at the wijkpaleis / the square / neighbourhood parties. So that everyone knows about them and feels welcome to take part. In this neighbourhood, they think of everyone and try to make everyone feel at home and comfortable in the community of the neighbourhood. Every morning the council cleans everything up and it's almost always tidy in the neighbourhood. There are 4 different trams, 2 bus lines and a metro no more than 5 minutes' walk from my house, so it's also well connected. All in all, it's the best neighbourhood for me to live in; I wouldn't actually want to leave, even though I'll have to soon because of family expansion. I really love this neighbourhood and the people.

About Hondiusstraat 13B, Rotterdam
The asking price of €265,000 is 52% below the average asking price in Middelland (€548,291), but the apartment is also smaller than average (57 m² vs 112 m²). Given the compact size and energy label D, the price is in line with what you'd expect for a starter home in this neighbourhood.
The energy label is D. In Middelland, 20.3% of homes have a label D or lower, while 62.2% have A or B. Label D means moderate efficiency; heating costs will be higher than in a modern home, but the apartment is from 1902, so that's typical for its age.
Residents mention four different trams, two bus lines and a metro within a five-minute walk. The nearest train station is 1.9 km away, so you can easily reach other parts of Rotterdam and beyond.
An Albert Heijn is 106 metres away, and an Ekoplaza is 140 metres. There are also several schools within walking distance, including the Mariaschool Schietbaanlaan (409 m) and De Vierambacht (514 m). A park or green space is just 0.3 km away.
At 57 m², it's 49% smaller than the neighbourhood average of 112 m². The price per m² is about €4,649, which is slightly below the average of €5,124. Most homes in Middelland have a better energy label, but the price reflects that.
Middelland scores 7.79 out of 10 from three reviews. Residents describe it as cosy, safe, and diverse, with a strong community spirit. There are regular events at the local square and a neighbourhood newspaper. It's a very urban area with a mix of singles and families.
The price is below the neighbourhood average, and the area is well-connected with good amenities. However, the apartment is small and has an older energy label. The market in Middelland shows that homes sell on average within 70 days, so there is steady demand.
