Nieuwe Westen, Rotterdam
NeighbourhoodThis apartment on Vierambachtsstraat brings a bit of old Rotterdam charm with a modern energy label A. At 74 m² it's compact but efficient, and the price of €297,500 is keen compared to the neighbourhood average, 42% below the typical asking price in the area. That's partly because the home is smaller than average, but it still puts you in a lively part of town. For context, apartments in Rotterdam vary widely, so this one stands out for its combination of pre-war character and modern efficiency.

The area is mostly pre-war housing (93% built before 1945) and has a young population, with many singles and families. For more on the area, see the Nieuwe Westen neighbourhood.

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.
