Afrikaanderwijk, Rotterdam
NeighbourhoodThis modern apartment on Laan op Zuid is part of a recent development, with the fresh feel of a 2024 build. The energy label A+++ is the most efficient there is, so heating costs will be minimal.

For context, apartments in Rotterdam in general vary widely in price.

About Laan op Zuid 1255, Rotterdam
The rent is above the neighbourhood average of €1,871 and the median of €1,673. However, this is a new apartment (2024) with an A+++ energy label, which typically commands a premium. The average price per m² in the area is €19.13, and at 64 m², this works out to about €31 per m², so it is on the high side but reflects the modern spec.
The energy label is A+++, the most efficient rating available. This means the home is very energy-efficient, so you can expect low energy costs. The label is an official registration, so it is a reliable indicator of the home's energy performance.
The nearest train station is 1.9 km away, which is about a 25-minute walk or a short cycle. This makes it feasible to commute by train, though you would need to check the exact station and connections that suit your route.

Auto-translated to English by AII think my neighbourhood is nice and cosy, everyone knows each other and always ready for a chat.
Auto-translated to English by AIA very unfriendly and unsafe environment for both adults and children. Every month there is a woman/girl raped, people shooting wildly, or a burglary. It is not recommended to go outside after dark. Neighbours don't greet each other and there is always tension between neighbours. Children who tear up flowers/plants. Parents who say nothing about it.

How residents experience their municipality
Het is net een klein dorpje, je kunt overal fijn heen fietsen of lopen. Er is ook openbaar vervoer wat het nog makkelijker maakt om ergens heen te gaan. Niet al te ver van het centrum af.
Auto-translated to English by AII've lived here for a few years. There's litter on the ground. But the supermarkets are good in the neighbourhood and there's a community centre. Nice!
Auto-translated to English by AIA very nice neighbourhood. The airport is nearby, but you don't hear a thing. Zestienhovenpark is great for walking or jogging. Many families with children live here. There is a lot of greenery and you see many birds. The best neighbourhood

Auto-translated to English by AIWell, I was born here so I grew up with the neighbourhood as it is now.
Auto-translated to English by AIThe neighbourhood is improving more and more each year. Thanks to the rent law, there are fewer slumlords and more and more families. It sometimes still has a bad reputation, but that is undeserved except for a few streets. The location is fantastic, metro, Zuidplein, city centre a quarter of an hour by bike. Zuiderpark is also around the corner and soon the Nelson Mandela park.
Auto-translated to English by AIThe facilities and the apartment itself are nice. But around the building there is a lot of rubbish on the street and junkies.
Auto-translated to English by AIIt is and remains a village
