A compact, energy-efficient apartment in Rotterdam
This two-room apartment on Hoofdweg in Rotterdam's Het Lage Land neighbourhood was a smart buy for anyone looking for a well-insulated home with minimal energy costs.

Frequently asked questions
About Hoofdweg 306A, Rotterdam
Was €330,000 a fair price for this apartment?
The asking price of €330,000 was below the neighbourhood median of €349,000 and the average sold price of €354,104. Given the compact 48 m² floor area, 47% smaller than the local average, the price per square metre worked out at €6,875, which was higher than the neighbourhood average of €4,330 per m². So while the total price was modest, you were paying a premium for the small size and excellent energy label.
What does the A++ energy label mean for my bills?
An A++ label is among the best possible, meaning the home is extremely energy-efficient. In the neighbourhood, only 14% of homes for sale had an A+ label or better, so this apartment was a standout for energy performance.
