Frequently asked questions
About Sint-Jobskade 300, Rotterdam
Is €2,900 a fair rent for this apartment?
The rent is €2,900 per month, which is 34% above the neighbourhood average of €2,168. That average is based on ten available rentals, with prices ranging from €1,795 to €2,395, so this apartment is at the top end. Given its size of 91 m² and energy label A, the rent reflects a premium for a newer, efficient home, but it is clearly above what most rentals in Schiemond go for.
What does the energy label A mean for this home?
Energy label A is the most efficient label on the scale, which means the home is registered as having low expected energy costs. It is an official registration from EP-Online, and it indicates that the property meets high standards for energy performance. For a home of this size, you can expect relatively modest heating and electricity bills compared to less efficient labels.
How close are the nearest schools?
There is a primary school, Basisschool Locatie Müllerpier, just 36 metres away, so it is literally on your doorstep. Secondary schools are also close, with STC vmbo college for Maritiem en Techniek at 345 metres and De Theaterhavo/vwo at 427 metres. That makes the school run very manageable, whether you are walking or cycling.
What supermarkets are nearby?
The nearest supermarket is an Albert Heijn at 282 metres, which is just around the corner. There are also a SPAR express at 736 metres and an AH to go at 868 metres, both within a ten-minute walk. For organic options, Ekoplaza is about a kilometre away. With 95 supermarkets within five kilometres, you have plenty of choice for daily shopping.
How far is the nearest train station?
The nearest train station is 3.4 kilometres away. That is a bit of a distance, so you would likely cycle or take a bus to get there. The neighbourhood itself has good tram and bus connections, but for train travel, you would need to factor in some extra time to reach the station.
What is the neighbourhood like in terms of demographics?
Schiemond has about 6,140 residents, with a mix of ages. Around 31% are between 25 and 45, and 26% are between 45 and 65, so it is a fairly balanced community. Households are split between singles (42%), families with children (32%), and couples without children (26%). The average household size is 2.0, which reflects a mix of living arrangements.
