Well, good people get along well here, my only downside is too little control over the parking spaces, a lot of nuisance from youngsters with those balloons.

About Vondelweg 1B, Rotterdam
The asking price of €295,000 is 24% below the average asking price in Rubroek (€386,095) and also below the median of €350,000. Given that the apartment is 56 m² (26% smaller than the neighbourhood average of 76 m²) and has an energy label D, the price seems keen for the area. However, the final value depends on the condition and specific features of the home.
The energy label is D. This means the home is not particularly energy-efficient, so you can expect higher heating costs compared to a home with a better label. In Rubroek, about 34.5% of homes have a label D or lower, so it's not unusual for the area.
Rubroek has a mix of households: about 21% have children, while many are single-person households. There are several primary schools within walking distance, like Waalse School and OBS Crooswijk. The area is very urban with a high density, so it's more suited to families who enjoy city life rather than a quiet suburban setting.
The nearest train station is 1.2 km away, about a 15-minute walk. The area is well connected within Rotterdam, with tram and bus stops likely nearby given the high address density.
At 56 m², this apartment is 26% smaller than the average sold apartment in Rubroek (76 m²). It's a compact two-bedroom flat, typical of older buildings in the neighbourhood. The average price per m² in the area is €5,202, so this home's price per m² works out to about €5,268, which is slightly above average.
One resident mentions that there is "too little control over the parking spaces" and nuisance from youngsters. Parking in central Rotterdam can be challenging, and this area likely has limited on-street parking. You may need to check with the municipality about permits and availability.
