About Rotterdamsedijk 215A, Schiedam
The asking price of €269,000 is 36% below the average asking price in Glasbuurt (€419,500) and sits close to the neighbourhood median of €267,000. Given the 65 m² floor area and energy label G, the price is keen compared to other listings in the area.

Energy label G is the lowest rating, meaning the home is not energy-efficient. You can expect high heating costs, especially in winter. The home was built in 1950 and likely has poor insulation and single glazing. Budget for significant energy bills and consider potential improvements like double glazing or insulation, though these come with upfront costs.
