Soetendaalseweg 52B
Oude Noorden · 3036 ES Rotterdam
A classic Rotterdam apartment with character
This apartment on Soetendaalseweg sits in the lively Oude Noorden, a neighbourhood where the streets hum with a mix of cultures and daily life. At 106 m², it offered generous living space for the area, though the energy label D meant heating costs were something to keep an eye on. The last known asking price of €575,000 was 17% above the average neighbourhood asking price of €489,875, so it was on the high side compared to other apartments in Rotterdam. This home has not been online since 5 August 2026.

Frequently asked questions
About Soetendaalseweg 52B, Rotterdam
Was €575,000 a fair price for this apartment?
The asking price of €575,000 was 17% above the average neighbourhood asking price of €489,875. The average price per m² in Oude Noorden was €5,668, and this home worked out at about €5,425 per m², which was slightly below that average. However, the energy label D is less efficient than most homes in the area, where over 50% of properties have label B or better. So the price was on the high side, but the larger floor area might justify some of the premium.
What is the energy label and what does it mean?
The home has energy label D. In the neighbourhood, about 24% of homes have label D or lower, while over 50% score B or better. Label D means the home is not particularly energy-efficient, so you can expect higher heating bills compared to a more modern property.
How is the neighbourhood for daily shopping?
You have several supermarkets within a short walk: Dirk is just around the corner (202 m), Lidl is a couple of streets away (213 m), and Albert Heijn is a five-minute walk (389 m).

What schools are nearby?
Primary schools are very close: De Fontein is just 99 m away, Hildegardis at 163 m, and Quadratum at 518 m. For secondary education, the nearest school is 1.1 km away, about a ten-minute walk. There are also several childcare options nearby, with the nearest at 0.3 km.
How far is the train station?
The nearest train station is 2.1 km from the home. That's about a 25-minute walk or a short bike ride.
What is the neighbourhood like in terms of safety?
The neighbourhood recorded 1,214 total crimes in the latest data, which is relatively high for a dense urban area. However, residents' reviews mention a strong sense of community and people looking out for each other. One resident noted that hygiene could be better, but overall the social fabric is positive.
Is there a garden or outdoor space?
The listing did not mention a garden, balcony, or terrace. The property is an apartment, so outdoor space is not guaranteed.
