Noordereiland, Rotterdam
NeighbourhoodThis 73 m² apartment on the Maaskade sits on the Noordereiland, a quiet island in the heart of Rotterdam. Built in 1885, it has a B energy label and is priced at €450,000. That's exactly the median price in the neighbourhood, but for a home that's 30% smaller than the local average of 105 m², so the price per square metre is on the high side. For context, the average price per m² in the area is €4,916. Apartments in Rotterdam are in strong demand here.
Noordereiland is a tight-knit community with 3,545 residents, mostly singles (1,150 one-person households) and few families with children (385). One resident sums it up: "My experience with my neighbourhood is very good. I've lived here for years with great pleasure, occasionally chat with people I know, and never have any problems with the neighbours either." The neighbourhood Noordereiland has a very high density (5,349 addresses per km²) and is classified as extremely urban, yet it feels peaceful. The average household size is just 1.7, and incomes are mixed.
For your morning bread, SPAR is just around the corner, with Aldi and Jumbo a couple of streets away. The nearest primary school, De Pijler, is a ten-minute walk, and there are several others within easy reach. The municipality Rotterdam offers all the city's amenities, but on the island you have a park or garden within a five-minute walk and a restaurant just around the corner. The train station is 2 km away, so you'll likely cycle or take a bus for longer journeys.

Very good · 1 resident
My experience with my neighbourhood is very good. I've lived here for years with great pleasure, occasionally chat with people I know, and never have any problems with the neighbours either. We always greet each other as neighbours. It's so much nicer to live when you get along with each other as neighbours. I am very satisfied with the neighbourhood and the people who live here. And yes, everywhere there is sometimes something, you can't prevent that. But I wouldn't want to leave the Noordereiland anymore.

About Maaskade 86B, Rotterdam
The asking price of €450,000 matches the median price in Noordereiland, but this apartment is 73 m², while the neighbourhood average is 105 m². That means you're paying a higher price per square metre (€6,164 vs. the average €4,916). So it's on the high side for the size, but the location on the Maaskade and the classic character may justify it.
