About IJsclubstraat 13A01, Rotterdam
The asking price of €275,000 is 41% below the average asking price in Kralingen West (€469,833). However, the apartment is also 44% smaller than the neighbourhood average of 89 m². Given the compact size and energy label E, the price is in line with what you'd expect for a smaller, older apartment in this area.
The energy label is E, which means the home is not very energy-efficient. You can expect higher heating costs compared to a home with a better label. In the neighbourhood, about 32.9% of homes have label C, and 31.5% have label D or lower, so this is not unusual for a 1910 building.
The nearest train station is 1.7 km away, which is about a 20-minute walk or a short bike ride. This makes it feasible for commuting, though not directly on your doorstep.
Residents give mixed feedback. One says it's "fairly quiet" and another mentions it's "clean and full of greenery" but adds it can "sometimes feel unsafe." The total number of crimes reported in the area is 875, which is relatively high for a neighbourhood of this size, but many residents report positive experiences overall.
Yes, there are several supermarkets within a short walk. Albert Heijn is 290 metres away, and Ekoplaza is 576 metres. For budget shopping, Aldi is 592 metres. You won't need to go far for daily groceries.
There are several schools within walking distance. The Libanon Lyceum (secondary school) is 198 metres away, and De Bavokring primary school is 467 metres. The Kralingsche School for primary education is 563 metres. This makes it convenient for families with school-age children.
At 50 m², this apartment is 44% smaller than the neighbourhood average of 89 m². It's a compact living space, typical of older apartments in the city centre. If you need more room, you might look at larger units, but they come at a higher price.
