About Oudedijk 139A04, Rotterdam
The asking price of €235,000 is significantly below the neighbourhood average of €469,833 and the median of €400,000. Given the 68 m² floor area, that works out to about €3,456 per m², compared to the neighbourhood average of €5,337 per m². So it's priced keenly, partly because of the poor energy label G and the compact size.
Energy label G is the least efficient rating, so you can expect high heating and electricity costs. The home was built in 1925 and likely has poor insulation. In the neighbourhood, 31.5% of homes have label D or lower, so this is not unusual for the area, but you should budget for significant energy expenses.
Residents have mixed views. One says it's "quiet" and "very nice to live," while another mentions it can "sometimes feel unsafe." The total number of crimes in the area is 875, but without per-capita figures it's hard to compare. Overall, the neighbourhood scores 8.91 out of 10 from four reviews, suggesting most residents are satisfied.
There are several schools within walking distance. The Libanon Lyceum secondary school is 104 metres away, De Bavokring primary school is 160 metres, and the Vrije School Zuid-Holland for secondary education is 251 metres. In total, there are over 200 schools within 5 km, so plenty of options.
An Albert Heijn is just 78 metres from the front door, making daily shopping very convenient. There are also other supermarkets within a few hundred metres, including another Albert Heijn at 256 metres, an Aldi at 256 metres, and an Ekoplaza at 265 metres.
The nearest train station is 1.7 km away, which is about a 20-minute walk.
Kralingen West has a diverse population: many singles (5,625 one-person households), a large share of young adults aged 25-45 (5,170), and a mix of families and older residents.
