About Libellenstraat 54B01, Rotterdam
Was €1,250 a fair rent for this apartment?
The rent was €1,250 per month, which was about 50% below the neighbourhood average of €2,489. However, the floor area of 57 m² is also 46% smaller than the average rental in Kralingen West, which is 106 m². So the price per square metre worked out close to the local norm, making it a reasonable deal for a smaller flat in this area.
How far is the nearest supermarket?
The Coop is 260 metres away, just around the corner. Lidl is 363 metres, Ekoplaza 458 metres, and both Albert Heijn and Aldi are about 514 metres from the front door. That means most daily shopping is within a short walk, and you have several options to choose from without going far.
