The price of €1,185,000 is well above the neighbourhood average, 134% higher than the median in Nieuwe Westen, but the floor area is 69% larger than the typical home there, so it's a premium property for those who value space. For context, it's one of the apartments in Rotterdam at the top end of the market.

I live in a noisy house myself and have a lot of noise from the neighbours. Which is why I'm looking for another house. But apart from that, it's a nice neighbourhood here. With many nationalities living together in one neighbourhood. There are many activities for all ages. And there are many educational locations in my neighbourhood. But in my flat, there are also people who unfortunately just throw rubbish down from their window. As a result, there are food scraps behind the houses near the storage units and on the roof of the storage units.
