I live in a noisy house myself and have a lot of noise from the neighbours. Which is why I'm looking for another house. But apart from that, it's a nice neighbourhood here. With many nationalities living together in one neighbourhood. There are many activities for all ages. And there are many educational locations in my neighbourhood. But in my flat, there are also people who unfortunately just throw rubbish down from their window. As a result, there are food scraps behind the houses near the storage units and on the roof of the storage units.

About Van Cittersstraat 51B03, Rotterdam
The asking price is 43% below the average asking price in Nieuwe Westen (€514,034) and also well under the median of €419,500. Given the 91 m² floor area and the energy label G, the price per m² works out at about €3,242, significantly lower than the neighbourhood average of €4,725 per m². It's a keen price for a pre-war apartment of this size, though the poor energy label means higher heating costs to expect.
The energy label is G, the lowest rating. In Nieuwe Westen, only 19.7% of homes have a label D or lower, so this apartment is among the least efficient. You can expect high heating costs, especially in winter. The home was built in 1924, and most homes in the buurt (93.2%) date from before 1945, so older construction is typical here.
