Most homes are flats, and the area has a young population, with many single-person households. For more on the area, see the neighbourhood Rubroek.
For your morning bread, Jumbo, Dirk and Albert Heijn are all just around the corner.

About Leopoldstraat 28A, Rotterdam
The asking price of €300,000 is 22% below the average asking price in Rubroek (€386,095) and also below the median of €350,000. Given the compact 50 m² size, the price per m² works out to €6,000, which is slightly above the neighbourhood average of €5,202 per m². So it's priced keenly overall, but the small floor area means you're paying a premium per square metre.
The energy label is D. That's a middling score, not super efficient, but not the worst either. You can expect moderate energy costs. In the neighbourhood, about 34.5% of homes have a label D or lower, so this is fairly typical for the area.
Very convenient. Three supermarkets, Jumbo, Dirk and Albert Heijn, are all within a couple of streets away, so you can walk to any of them in a few minutes. There's also a park just around the corner for a quick break.
Two primary schools are just around the corner: Waalse School and OBS Crooswijk, both about 225 metres away. A third, Koningin Wilhelminaschool, is a five-minute walk. For secondary education, the nearest school is about 0.9 km away.
The nearest train station is 1.2 km away, which is about a ten-minute walk. That makes it easy to get to other parts of Rotterdam or further afield.
Parking can be tricky. One resident mentions "too little control over the parking spaces" and nuisance from youngsters. The neighbourhood is very dense, so street parking is likely limited. It's worth checking the local parking permits and availability.
