About Houtlaan 565, Rotterdam
The asking price is 54% above the neighbourhood average of €906,868, but the apartment is also 46% larger than the average (212 m² vs 145 m²) and is newly built (2022) in an area where 50% of homes date from before 1945. The price per m² works out at about €6,580, which is below the neighbourhood average of €7,728 per m². So while the total is high, the size and new-build quality justify it.
The energy label is A++, the highest possible. This means the home is extremely energy-efficient, with very low heating and electricity costs. In the neighbourhood, 37.9% of homes have A++ and 32.8% have A, so this is among the best.
The nearest train station is 2.3 km away, which is a walk of about 25 minutes or a short cycle.
Nieuwe Werk has relatively few families: only 210 households with children out of 1,815 total. Most residents are singles or couples without children. The area is quiet and safe, with a park nearby, but it is not a typical family neighbourhood.
