Nieuwe Westen, Rotterdam
NeighbourhoodThis is a home with presence. On one of Rotterdam's classic avenues, this 285 m² apartment in a 1912 building combines generous proportions with a top-tier energy label A. The price of €1,050,000 is well above the neighbourhood average of €514,034, but then the floor area is 157% larger than the typical 111 m² in the area, so it's a different category entirely. For context, it sits among the apartments in Rotterdam at the upper 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.
