Frequently asked questions
About Philips Willemstraat 41B, Rotterdam
Was €625,000 a fair price for this apartment?
The asking price was 22% above the neighbourhood average of €512,949, but the apartment was also 70% larger than the typical 107 m² in Hillegersberg Zuid. The price per square metre worked out at about €3,434, which was below the neighbourhood average of €5,059 per m². So while the total price was high, you were getting significantly more space for your money.
What is the energy label and what does it mean?
The energy label is E, which is common for a pre-war home from 1914. In the neighbourhood, 45% of homes have a label D or lower, so this is in line with the area. An E label meant heating costs would be higher than in a modern home, but the large floor area also plays a role.
How is the neighbourhood for families?
Hillegersberg Zuid has a mix of households: about 1,230 with children and 1,135 without, plus many singles. Residents describe it as safe and clean. There are several primary schools within walking distance, including Tarcisius and De Fontein. The area is quiet but well-connected by bike and train.
What public transport options are nearby?
The nearest train station is 0.9 km away, about a ten-minute walk. Residents note that the connection to the centre is good, but public transport links to surrounding neighbourhoods like Kralingen could be better. There is no metro within walking distance for some residents.
How does the size compare to other apartments in the area?
At 182 m², this apartment is 70% larger than the neighbourhood average of 107 m². Most homes in Hillegersberg Zuid are pre-war and relatively spacious, but this one stands out for its generous floor area. The average price per m² in the neighbourhood was €5,059, so this home offered more space at a lower per-m² rate.
What is the parking situation like?
The listing did not mention parking, but the neighbourhood was densely built with a high address density. Many streets have parking on the roadside. Residents mention occasional speed and noise pollution on Straatweg and Kleiweg, so parking on quieter side streets may be preferable.
