Koningin Emmaplein 15C

A grand apartment on Koningin Emmaplein

This stately apartment on Koningin Emmaplein in Rotterdam's Nieuwe Werk neighbourhood is a rare find. With 235 m² of living space, it's a home that feels both spacious and refined. The rent of €7,500 is on the high side, 156% above the neighbourhood average, but that reflects the exceptional size and the A energy label. For context, the average rent for apartments in Rotterdam is much lower, so this is clearly a premium property.

Nieuwe Werk: a leafy enclave in the city

Nieuwe Werk is one of Rotterdam's most exclusive neighbourhoods, with wide streets and monumental buildings. It's a quiet area despite being in the city centre, with the Museumpark and the Euromast just a stroll away. The neighbourhood has a high density of addresses (4,172 per km²), so it's very urban, but the park and the nearby Maas provide green escapes. There are no resident reviews available for this neighbourhood, but the figures speak for themselves: mostly one-person households (1,190) and a high proportion of 25-45 year olds (1,260). The neighbourhood Nieuwe Werk is known for its cultural institutions and high-end living.

Life on the street

Your daily routine here is a pleasure. For bread and groceries, Albert Heijn is just around the corner, and there's an AH to go a couple of streets away. For a wider selection, SPAR is a five-minute walk. Schools are also close: the Rotterdamse Schoolvereniging (primary) is a five-minute walk away, and the Erasmiaans Gymnasium (secondary) is just beyond that. The municipality Rotterdam offers excellent amenities, with restaurants on your doorstep and the park a couple of streets away.
