Volmarijnstraat 139B
Middelland, Rotterdam
AreaA 19th-century apartment in lively Middelland
This apartment on Volmarijnstraat 139B sits in Middelland, a neighbourhood in the Delfshaven district of Rotterdam. The home dates from 1897, so it carries the character of a pre-war building in a part of the city that feels busy and lived-in. The listing does not state the energy label, so that information is missing from the agent's description. With a living area of 73 m² according to the BAG registration, the asking price of €375,000 works out at €5,137 per m². That puts the price 24% below the average asking price of €492,426 in the neighbourhood, so it sits on the low side of the local market. For context, [apartments in Rotterdam] vary widely in price depending on age, size and location.
The home itself
The apartment is a single dwelling within a building from 1897, and the agent has not published further details about the layout, outdoor space or installations. What is known is the living area of 73 m², which is 30% smaller than the neighbourhood average of 105 m². Because the listing is incomplete, there is no information about the number of rooms, bedrooms or bathrooms, nor about any garden, balcony or garage. The energy label is also not stated, so nothing can be said about the home's insulation or heating system. The address itself is complete, so the location and neighbourhood data are reliable.
