Frequently asked questions
About Waterloostraat 57A, Rotterdam
Was €335,000 a fair price for this apartment?
The asking price of €335,000 was 66% below the neighbourhood average of €981,625, but the apartment was also smaller than average (63 m² vs 150 m²). The price per square metre worked out to about €5,317, which was below the neighbourhood average of €6,246 per m². So it was priced keenly for its size and location.
What is the energy label and what does it mean?
The energy label is C, which is average for a home of this age (built in 1950). It means the property has reasonable insulation and heating efficiency, so energy bills should be moderate but not as low as a modern A-rated home.
How far is the nearest train station?
The nearest train station is 2.7 km away, which is about a 10-minute cycle or a short bus ride. The neighbourhood is well served by metro and tram lines, as residents note.
What are the neighbours like?

Are there good schools nearby?
