A pre-war apartment in Kralingen West
This apartment on Libellenstraat sits in Kralingen West, a lively part of Rotterdam where residents give their surroundings a strong 8.91 out of 10. The home dates from 1937 and is offered for €375,000. That asking price sits about 15% below the average asking price of €439,708 for homes in this neighbourhood, which puts it on the low side of the local market.

The listing does not state the energy label, so that information is missing from the agent's description.
The home itself
The apartment has a living area of 87 square metres, according to both the BAG registration and the agent's listing. The agent has not published further details about the layout, so the number of rooms, bedrooms and bathrooms is not stated.

Because the energy label is not mentioned, there is no official indication of how energy-efficient the home is. The asking price of €375,000 works out at €4,310 per square metre based on the agent's stated floor area.
