About Watertorenweg 603, Rotterdam
Yes, it is in line with the market. The median asking price in De Esch is exactly €425,000, and the average price per m² is €4,888. This apartment works out at about €5,120 per m², which is slightly above average but reasonable given its size and the fact that it is a 1990 build with energy label C.
The energy label is C. That means the home has reasonable insulation and heating efficiency, but it is not as efficient as newer builds. You can expect moderate energy costs, though exact amounts depend on usage. In the neighbourhood, about 24% of homes have label C, while 28% have label A.
The nearest train station is 3.4 km away. That is a bit of a distance, so you would likely need a bike or bus to get there. The neighbourhood is well connected by road, but public transport to the station is not detailed in the listing.
