Nieuwe Werk, Rotterdam
NeighbourhoodThis 158 m² apartment on Van Vollenhovenstraat sits in one of Rotterdam's most elegant corners, with high ceilings and period details from 1891. The price of €800,000 is keen compared to the neighbourhood average of €906,868, and the supply of apartments in Rotterdam is varied.
Nieuwe Werk is a quiet, leafy enclave within the city centre, with wide streets and monumental architecture. It has a very strong urban feel (address density 4,172 per km²) and a mix of residents: many singles and couples, with few children. The area is safe and well-maintained, though no resident reviews are available to give a personal perspective. For more context, see the Nieuwe Werk neighbourhood.
Your morning bread run is to Albert Heijn just around the corner. For primary schools, Openbare Basisschool Het Landje and Rotterdamse Schoolvereniging are both a five-minute walk away. The Erasmus Bridge and the Maas are a couple of streets away, and the park is on your doorstep. The municipality of Rotterdam offers a dense network of amenities, as you'd expect from the municipality of Rotterdam.

About Van Vollenhovenstraat 60B02, Rotterdam
The asking price of €800,000 is below the neighbourhood average of €906,868 and the median of €535,000, so it is keenly priced. The average price per m² in Nieuwe Werk is €7,728, and this home works out at about €5,063 per m², which is favourable. However, the energy label D is less efficient than most of the local stock, where over 70% of homes have label A or better.
The energy label is D. This means the home is moderately efficient; heating costs will be higher than in a modern, well-insulated property. In the neighbourhood, only 6.9% of homes have label D or lower, so this apartment is less efficient than the majority of local housing.
The nearest train station is 2.3 km away, which is about a 25-minute walk or a short cycle ride.
Two primary schools are within a five-minute walk: Openbare Basisschool Het Landje (512 m) and Rotterdamse Schoolvereniging (514 m). For secondary education, Erasmiaans Gymnasium is 789 m away, and Het Praktijkcollege Centrum is 1.2 km.
