Frequently asked questions
About Kortekade 107A, Rotterdam
Is €420,000 a fair price for this apartment?
The asking price of €420,000 is 57% below the neighbourhood average of €981,625 and well under the median of €679,000. However, the apartment is smaller (83 m² vs. 150 m² average) and has a poor energy label G. Given the lower floor area and high energy costs, the price is in line with what you'd expect for a compact, pre-war apartment needing energy upgrades.
What is the energy label and what does it mean?
The energy label is G, the lowest rating. This means the home has poor insulation and likely high heating costs. In the neighbourhood, 38% of homes have label D or lower, so this is not unusual for a 1935 building. You should budget for significant energy bills and consider improvements like insulation or double glazing.
How is the neighbourhood for safety?
Residents have mixed views. One says it's "very safe" and clean, while another mentions "dangerous incidents, like shootings, but that's almost never and hardly anyone actually experiences them." A third review criticises social behaviour. The total number of crimes in the area is 521, but without context it's hard to compare. Overall, it's a typical urban neighbourhood with some issues but generally considered safe by most.
What public transport is nearby?
The nearest train station is 2.7 km away, so not within walking distance for daily use. However, residents mention metro and tram stops nearby, and there are shared bikes and scooters available.
Are there good schools in the area?
Yes, several primary schools are within walking distance: Montessorischool Kralingen (124 m), Vrije School Vredehof (182 m), and De Kralingsche School (304 m). For secondary education, Vrije School Zuid-Holland (378 m) and Libanon Lyceum (528 m) are close. One resident who attended school locally says the education is "very good" and most pupils get average or higher secondary school recommendations.
What is the typical buyer profile in Kralingen Oost?
The neighbourhood has many single-person households (3,165 out of 5,070 households) and a young population, with 2,510 residents aged 15-25 and 2,135 aged 25-45. Only 930 households have children. This suggests a mix of students, young professionals, and some families. The average household size is 1.7, indicating many live alone or as couples.
How does the floor area compare to other homes in the area?
At 83 m², this apartment is 45% smaller than the neighbourhood average of 150 m². The average price per m² is €6,246, so this home's price per m² works out to about €5,060, which is below average. The compact size is typical for a pre-war apartment in this part of Rotterdam.
