About Rotterdamsedijk 241B, Schiedam
The asking price of €235,000 is 44% below the average asking price in the Glasbuurt (€419,500) and also below the median of €267,000. Given that the apartment is 71 m² with energy label C, the price per m² works out to about €3,310, which is well under the neighbourhood average of €4,547 per m².

The energy label is C, which is average for a home of this age (built in 1950). A C label means the home is reasonably efficient but not top-tier.
