A calm base in Hoek van Holland
This apartment on President Jan Lelsstraat 33 sits in the Dorp neighbourhood of Hoek van Holland, a part of Rotterdam that feels like a village by the sea. The home was built in 1964 and has an energy label E, which is the least efficient label, so expect higher energy costs. With a floor area of 69 m² according to the agent, the asking price of €329,000 is 34% below the average asking price of €497,559 for homes in this neighbourhood, a comparison that puts it on the low side of the local market. For context, apartments in Rotterdam vary widely in price, but this one sits at a relatively accessible level.
Inside the apartment
The agent describes this as a three-room apartment with two bedrooms and one bathroom, all on a single floor on the second storey.

There is a balcony, and the property is in full ownership, with a monthly homeowners' association fee of €143. The living area is listed as 69 m² by the agent, while the BAG registration records 68 m², a small difference between the two sources.
