Auto-translated to English by AII live right in the middle of Middelland. It's a very good neighbourhood. There's a real mix of people. There's something for everyone. There are nice singles, schools, playgrounds, Marktplein and a square where fun things are often organised, each time with different themes, and a beautiful wijkpaleis where everyone is welcome, and that brings the neighbourhood closer together. There's also a neighbourhood newspaper that lists the activities at the wijkpaleis / the square / neighbourhood parties. So that everyone knows about them and feels welcome to take part. In this neighbourhood, they think of everyone and try to make everyone feel at home and comfortable in the community of the neighbourhood. Every morning the council cleans everything up and it's almost always tidy in the neighbourhood. There are 4 different trams, 2 bus lines and a metro no more than 5 minutes' walk from my house, so it's also well connected. All in all, it's the best neighbourhood for me to live in; I wouldn't actually want to leave, even though I'll have to soon because of family expansion. I really love this neighbourhood and the people.

About Rochussenstraat 197B02, Rotterdam
The asking price is €599,000, which is above the neighbourhood median of €462,500 and the average of €548,291. However, this apartment is 195 m², while the average in Middelland is 112 m², so you're getting significantly more space. The price per square metre works out at about €3,072, which is lower than the neighbourhood average of €5,124 per m². So while the total price is high, the per-square-metre cost is relatively favourable.
The energy label is C. That means the home has reasonable insulation and heating efficiency, but it's not as efficient as modern standards. You can expect moderate energy costs. In the neighbourhood, about 30% of homes have label A, 22% label B, and 17% label C, so this home is in the middle range.
Public transport is excellent. Residents mention that there are 4 different trams, 2 bus lines and a metro within a 5-minute walk. The nearest train station is 1.9 km away, which is about a 20-minute walk or a short cycle. So you can easily get around Rotterdam without a car.
