Nieuwe Werk, Rotterdam
NeighbourhoodThis 2022-built apartment on Houtlaan sits in one of Rotterdam's most prestigious corners, where the city's energy meets the calm of the Euromast park. With 174 m² of floor space and an A++ energy label, it's a home that combines contemporary comfort with low running costs. The asking price of €1,299,000 is 43% above the neighbourhood average of €906,868, reflecting the premium for recent new-build in an area where half the homes date from before 1945. For context, apartments in Rotterdam vary widely, but this one is clearly at the top end.
Nieuwe Werk is a compact, leafy enclave between the Maas and the park, home to about 3,150 people. It's a place of contrasts: mostly flats (98% of the housing stock), yet with a quiet, almost village-like feel thanks to the nearby park and water. The population skews young and single, 40% are between 25 and 45, and 70% of households are one-person. There are no resident reviews available, but the figures speak for themselves: high incomes, a strong owner-occupied sector (43%), and a very low crime rate relative to the city centre. This is the Nieuwe Werk neighbourhood at its most desirable.
Your daily routine here is a pleasure. For bread and basics, Albert Heijn is just around the corner, with SPAR a seven-minute walk away. For school runs, Openbare Basisschool Het Landje and Rotterdamse Schoolvereniging are both a five-minute walk. The Erasmiaans Gymnasium is a ten-minute walk for secondary education. A restaurant is on your doorstep, and the park is just 200 m away, perfect for a morning jog or evening stroll. All this within the municipality of Rotterdam, where urban amenities are never far.
At the time of writing, the home is listed through several channels, including Makelaarsland.

About Houtlaan 567, Rotterdam
The asking price is 43% above the neighbourhood average of €906,868, but that average includes many older, smaller homes. This is a 2022 new-build with 174 m² and an A++ label, so the premium reflects its modern specs and location. Recent sales in Nieuwe Werk averaged €746,782, but those were for different property types and sizes. Given the scarcity of new-build apartments here, the price is on the high side but in line with what similar recent developments command.
The energy label is A++, the highest possible. This means the home is extremely energy-efficient, with excellent insulation, high-performance glazing, and likely a heat pump or similar modern system. Your heating and electricity bills will be very low compared to older homes. In Nieuwe Werk, 37.9% of homes have label A or better, so this apartment is among the most efficient in the neighbourhood.
Nieuwe Werk is quiet and green, with the park and river on your doorstep. For groceries, Albert Heijn is 181 m away, and there are several other supermarkets within a ten-minute walk. Restaurants are abundant, the nearest is just 100 m. Schools are close: two primary schools within 500 m and a secondary school at 836 m. The area is very walkable, and the city centre is a short tram ride away.
The nearest train station is 2.3 km away, which is about a 25-minute walk or a short tram ride. Given the central location, most daily errands can be done on foot or by bike. The address density of 4,172 addresses per km² indicates a very urban area with frequent public transport options.
The price per m² works out to about €7,466, which is slightly below the neighbourhood average of €7,728 per m². That's surprising given the new-build status, but it may reflect the large floor area (174 m²), larger apartments often have a lower per-m² price. Compared to the average sold price per m² in the area, this listing is in line with the market.
Nieuwe Werk has a tight market: 57 homes for sale, with an average asking price of €906,868 and a median of €535,000. The wide range (€250,000 to €4,950,000) shows the diversity. Homes sell in about 60 days on average, which is relatively quick. The owner-occupied share is 43%, and new-build (after 2010) makes up 16.2% of the stock, so this apartment is part of a small modern segment.
The listing does not mention a garden, balcony, or terrace. Given that it's an apartment in a 2022 building, it may have a balcony or roof terrace, but this is not stated. The nearby park (200 m) provides ample green space for recreation. For specific outdoor features, you would need to check the full listing details.
