Lombardijen, Rotterdam
NeighbourhoodThis 57 m² apartment on Platostraat sits in a calm part of Lombardijen, a neighbourhood where most homes were built between 1945 and 1970. The energy label is F, so heating costs will be noticeable. At €225,000, the asking price is 46% below the neighbourhood average of €413,958, which makes it a keen option for a starter home. For context, the average price per m² in the area is €3,688, and this flat is one of 52 apartments currently for sale in Rotterdam.
Lombardijen is a largely residential area with a mix of families and singles. One resident describes it as "completely quiet," while another calls it a "decent neighbourhood with everything at hand such as shops, hospital, public transport, etc." A third review mentions a "lively neighbourhood with everything at hand." The neighbourhood has a high density of addresses (2,655 per km²), typical of a very strongly urban area. Most homes are flats (74%), and 29% are owner-occupied. The average household size is 2.0, with a fair share of families with children.
For your morning bread, Lidl is just around the corner, and Jumbo is a couple of streets away. There are several primary schools within walking distance, including De Catamaran and Vreewijkschool. A GP is a five-minute walk away, and the nearest park or public garden is even closer. The train station is about a ten-minute walk, making commutes to the city centre straightforward.
At the time of writing, the home is listed through several channels, including Woonzicht Makelaars, Vastgoed Nederland, and Funda.

Auto-translated to English by AIIt's a shame that so much rubbish is thrown outside the bins in the neighbourhood, and that bulky waste is not reported by residents, resulting in a lot of litter and vermin.
Auto-translated to English by AIUnfortunately, Lombardijen has deteriorated significantly, especially in the last 10 years. You can see it visibly becoming impoverished, which is such a shame for such a beautiful neighbourhood that always had a reputation as a nice, clean, tidy neighbourhood. Unfortunately, both the residents and certainly the municipality of Rotterdam contribute to this. Safety is hard to find, drug nuisance, nuisance at the underground containers where all household items are just dumped. Rubbish on the street, which a number of residents try to keep up with by regularly picking it up, otherwise we see the rats and mice dancing merrily around the containers. And this is just a small impression of the waste pit of Rotterdam. The municipality must stop cutting costs and handing out fewer bonuses to the higher-ups, use money for the neighbourhoods and ensure that it becomes liveable again for the real Rotterdammers.
Auto-translated to English by AIIt's a decent neighbourhood but there could be improvements like more bins and more cleaning of the rubbish on the street.

About Platostraat 232, Rotterdam
The asking price of €225,000 is 46% below the average asking price in Lombardijen (€413,958) and also below the median of €299,250. However, the flat is smaller than average (57 m² vs 112 m²) and has an energy label F, which means higher energy costs. Given these factors, the price is in line with the market for a compact, older apartment.
The energy label is F, which is one of the least efficient ratings. This means the home is likely to have higher heating and electricity costs compared to a more modern property. In Lombardijen, over half of homes (52.7%) have a label D or lower, so an F label is not unusual for the area.
