About Scheepstimmermanslaan 31A02, Rotterdam
At €325,000, this apartment is priced 64% below the average asking price in Nieuwe Werk (€906,868). However, it's also much smaller than the neighbourhood average (48 m² vs 145 m²). The price per square metre works out at about €6,771, which is below the neighbourhood average of €7,728. Given the compact size and central location, the price seems keen for a buyer looking for a foothold in this area.
The energy label is C, which is average for a building from 1891. In the neighbourhood, 37.9% of homes have label A+ and 32.8% have label A, so this home is less efficient than many newer or renovated properties. You can expect moderate energy costs, but it's not the most efficient option.

The nearest train station is 2.3 km away, which is about a 25-minute walk or a short bike ride. The neighbourhood is very central, so many amenities are within walking distance. Bus and tram stops are likely nearby given the high address density.
