Frequently asked questions
About Laan van Ypenhof 128, Rotterdam
Is €700,000 a fair price for this apartment?
The asking price of €700,000 is 29% below the average asking price in Kralingen Oost (€981,625) and close to the median of €679,000. Given the 105 m² floor area, the price per m² is about €6,667, which is slightly above the neighbourhood average of €6,246 per m². So it's priced keenly overall, but the smaller size means a higher per-square-metre cost.
What is the neighbourhood like for safety?
Residents have mixed views. One says it's "very safe" and clean, while another mentions occasional dangerous incidents like shootings, but notes they are rare and hardly anyone experiences them. Bike theft is mentioned as a common issue. The total number of crimes in the area is 521, but without context it's hard to compare.
How far is the nearest train station?
The nearest train station is 2.7 km away, which is about a ten-minute cycle or a short bus ride. The metro and tram stops are closer, making public transport accessible.
Are there good schools nearby?
Yes, there are several primary schools within walking distance: Montessorischool Kralingen (309 m), Vrije School Vredehof (378 m), and De Kralingsche School (531 m). For secondary education, Vrije School Zuid-Holland is 583 m away. Residents generally rate the education as good.
What is the energy label and what does it mean?
The energy label is B, which means the home is reasonably energy-efficient. You can expect moderate heating costs, but not as low as with an A or A+ label. In the neighbourhood, only about 17% of homes have an A or better label, so this is above average.
