About Oudedijk 139A03, Rotterdam
The asking price of €265,000 is 44% below the average asking price in Kralingen West (€469,833) and also below the median of €400,000. However, this home is a 70 m² apartment with an E energy label, built in 1925. The average price per m² in the neighbourhood is €5,337, which would put a 70 m² home at around €373,590. So the price is on the low side, but the energy label and age may explain the discount.
The energy label is E. This means the home is not very energy-efficient, so you can expect higher heating costs compared to a home with a better label. In Kralingen West, about 20.5% of homes have label A, 15.1% label B, 32.9% label C, and 31.5% have label D or lower. So this home falls in the less efficient category.
The nearest train station is 1.7 km away, which is about a 20-minute walk or a short bike ride. This gives you access to the wider Rotterdam region and beyond.
Residents give mixed feedback. One says it's "quiet" and "very nice to live," while another mentions it can "sometimes feel unsafe."
