About Jaffa 13D, Rotterdam
The asking price of €395,000 is 16% below the average asking price in Kralingen West (€469,833) and just under the median of €400,000. Given the 78 m² floor area, that works out to about €5,064 per m², which is slightly below the neighbourhood average of €5,337 per m². So it's priced keenly for a pre-war apartment in this area.
The energy label is D, which is typical for a 1910 building. It means the home is not particularly energy-efficient, so you can expect higher heating costs compared to a modern home. In the neighbourhood, about 32.9% of homes have label C, and 31.5% have D or lower, so this is in line with the local stock.
Residents give mixed feedback. One review mentions it's "sometimes unsafe," but overall the neighbourhood scores 8.91 out of 10. The total number of crimes in the area is 875, which is moderate for a dense urban area. Most residents feel it's quiet and pleasant, especially near the Kralingse Plas.
