Frequently asked questions
About Schoklandsestraat 7A, Rotterdam
Is €209,500 a fair price for this flat?
The asking price is 20% below the average asking price in Carnisse (€260,453) and also below the median of €239,000. Given that the flat is 45 m² (34% smaller than the neighbourhood average of 68 m²) and has an energy label G, the price reflects the home's compact size and poor energy efficiency. It is a keen price for a starter home in Rotterdam-Zuid.
What does energy label G mean for my bills?
Energy label G is the lowest rating, meaning the home is not energy-efficient. You can expect high heating and electricity costs compared to a modern home. The neighbourhood data shows that 46.3% of homes in Carnisse have a label D or lower, so this is not unusual for the area, but it is something to budget for.
How safe is Carnisse?
Residents give mixed feedback. One long-term resident says it feels safe and familiar, while another mentions recent incidents like a house fire and calls for more safety, especially for children. The total number of crimes reported in the neighbourhood is 913, but without a per-capita figure it is hard to compare. Overall, the neighbourhood scores a 6.98 out of 10 from six reviews.
What public transport is available?
The nearest train station is 4.1 km away, so you will mainly rely on bus and tram. The renewed bus station at Zuidplein is nearby, offering connections across the city.
Are there schools nearby?
Yes, there are several primary and secondary schools within walking distance. CBS De Klaver Carnisse (377 m) and CBS Elout van Soeterwoude (493 m) are the closest primary schools. For secondary education, Scholengroep Driestar-Wartburg has two locations at 523 m. There are also special education options nearby.
What is the neighbourhood like for families?
Carnisse has a mix of households: about 1,625 with children and 1,245 without. The largest age group is 25-45, so there are many young adults. Residents appreciate the community feel and the nearby Zuiderpark. However, some note that more social housing is needed for young people.
How old is the building and what condition is it in?
The building was constructed in 1939, so it is over 80 years old. The energy label G suggests that insulation and heating systems are outdated. You should expect some maintenance and possibly renovations to improve comfort and efficiency.
