About Van Vollenhovenstraat 3-101, Rotterdam
The asking price of €415,000 is 54% below the neighbourhood average of €906,868, but the apartment is also smaller than average (68 m² vs 145 m²). The price per m² works out to about €6,103, which is below the neighbourhood average of €7,728. Given the A energy label and central location, it's priced keenly for what it offers.
The energy label is A, which is very efficient. This means low energy costs and a smaller environmental footprint. In the neighbourhood, 32.8% of homes have label A, and 37.9% have A+ or better, so this home is well above average in efficiency.
The nearest train station is 2.3 km away, which is about a 25-minute walk or a short bike ride. This is a bit farther than ideal for daily commuting, but the area is well served by trams and buses.
The neighbourhood recorded 410 total crimes in the latest data. Given the population of 3,150, that's a crime rate of about 130 per 1,000 residents. This is relatively high, but the area is also very central and busy, which can skew figures. It's always wise to check recent trends.
There are currently 57 apartments for sale in Nieuwe Werk, with prices ranging from €250,000 to €4,950,000. The median price is €535,000, so this apartment at €415,000 is below the median, reflecting its smaller size.
