Middelland, Rotterdam
NeighbourhoodThis 89 m² apartment on Volmarijnstraat in Middelland is a piece of Rotterdam history, built in 1896. The energy label D means heating costs are something to keep an eye on, especially in a neighbourhood where most homes for sale have a better label. At €400,000, the price is 27% below the average asking price in the area, which makes it a keen entry into the market for apartments in Rotterdam.
Middelland is a dense, urban neighbourhood with a real mix of people and activities. One resident describes it as a 'cosy neighbourhood, with lots of green, nice sports fields and all kinds of facilities nearby', while another says it's 'a very good neighbourhood' with 'something for everyone'. The area has a strong community feel, with a neighbourhood newspaper and a wijkpaleis that organises events. It's a place where 'they think of everyone and try to make everyone feel at home', based on three reviews. The neighbourhood Middelland is home to many singles and young adults, with a high density of addresses.
For your morning bread, Albert Heijn is on your doorstep, and Ekoplaza is just around the corner. There are several schools within a five-minute walk, including the Mariaschool Schietbaanlaan and De Vierambacht for primary education. The municipality Rotterdam keeps the streets tidy, with cleaning every morning, as one resident notes. A park or garden is a couple of streets away, and restaurants are just around the corner.
At the time of writing, the home is available through several channels, including Delfshaven Makelaardij, Delfshaven Makelaardij, and Delfshaven Makelaardij.

Auto-translated to English by AII live right in the middle of Middelland. It's a very good neighbourhood. There's a real mix of people. There's something for everyone. There are nice singles, schools, playgrounds, Marktplein and a square where fun things are often organised, each time with different themes, and a beautiful wijkpaleis where everyone is welcome, and that brings the neighbourhood closer together. There's also a neighbourhood newspaper that lists the activities at the wijkpaleis / the square / neighbourhood parties. So that everyone knows about them and feels welcome to take part. In this neighbourhood, they think of everyone and try to make everyone feel at home and comfortable in the community of the neighbourhood. Every morning the council cleans everything up and it's almost always tidy in the neighbourhood. There are 4 different trams, 2 bus lines and a metro no more than 5 minutes' walk from my house, so it's also well connected. All in all, it's the best neighbourhood for me to live in; I wouldn't actually want to leave, even though I'll have to soon because of family expansion. I really love this neighbourhood and the people.

About Volmarijnstraat 124A02, Rotterdam
The asking price of €400,000 is 27% below the average asking price in Middelland (€548,291) and also below the median of €462,500. Given the 89 m² floor area, that works out to about €4,494 per m², compared to the neighbourhood average of €5,124 per m². So it's priced keenly for the area.
The apartment has energy label D. In Middelland, about 20% of homes for sale have a label D or lower, while over 60% score A or B. Label D means the home is not the most efficient, so you can expect higher energy costs than a modern home, but it's still within the range of older properties in the area.
