About Hoveniersstraat 9C, Rotterdam
The asking price is 17% below the neighbourhood average of €386,095, and also below the median of €350,000. Given the 58 m² floor area and F energy label, it's priced keenly compared to other flats in Rubroek. However, the low energy label means higher monthly energy costs, so factor that into your budget.
