Auto-translated to English by AIit's a nice neighbourhood, right next to Vroesepark! In my opinion, there's not much to do for young people, for that you have to go to the city centre.

About Statensingel 111C, Rotterdam
The asking price of €499,500 is above the neighbourhood average of €467,000 and the median of €450,000. However, this apartment is larger (102 m²) than the average (93 m²), so the price per m² (€4,897) is actually below the neighbourhood average of €5,245. Whether it's fair depends on how much you value the extra space and the pre-war character.
