A grand old apartment on the Westzeedijk
This apartment on the Westzeedijk sits in a handsome 1909 building, and at 115 m² it has plenty of room to spread out. The energy label is A, which is about as efficient as it gets, so heating bills should stay modest. The rent of €2,567 is a step above the average for apartments in Rotterdam, and it is also about 20% above the neighbourhood average of €2,133, so you are paying for the size and the setting.
Life in Delfshaven
Delfshaven is a mixed, lively part of Rotterdam, and the two residents who reviewed it give it a 7.28 out of 10. One says it is a "decent neighbourhood but nothing special," noting some nuisance from youths and litter on the street. Another is more enthusiastic, calling it the "best fun neighbourhood!" and mentioning the cosy atmosphere around the local school. Based on two reviews, it is a place with character, though not without its rough edges. The area is home to many single-person households, and the streets have a young, urban feel. For a sense of the wider area, the Delfshaven neighbourhood is well connected and full of amenities.
Daily life on the street
The Westzeedijk itself is a busy thoroughfare, but the essentials are close by. An Albert Heijn is just around the corner for everyday groceries, and a SPAR express is a ten-minute walk if you need something quick. For schools, Middelland College is on your doorstep, and the Delfshaven primary school is just as close, so the school run is a short one. The nearest train station is 3 km away, which is manageable for occasional trips. All of this sits within the municipality of Rotterdam, a city that needs no introduction.

Frequently asked questions
About Westzeedijk 507C, Rotterdam
Is €2,567 a fair rent for this apartment?
The rent is about 20% above the neighbourhood average of €2,133, and it is also higher than the average for apartments in Rotterdam. That said, this is a 115 m² apartment in a 1909 building with an A energy label, so the size and efficiency help explain the premium. Whether it is fair depends on how much you value the space and the location.
What does the A energy label mean for my energy bills?
An A label is the most efficient category, so you can expect relatively low heating and electricity costs compared to homes with lower labels. The label is an official registration, and it reflects the overall energy performance of the property. It is a good sign for keeping monthly outgoings down.
How close are the nearest supermarkets?
An Albert Heijn is just 217 metres away, so daily shopping is very convenient. A SPAR express is about 868 metres, and there are other Albert Heijn and Jumbo stores within a kilometre. You will not have to travel far for groceries.

How far is the nearest train station?
The nearest train station is 3 km from the apartment. That is a reasonable distance for occasional trips, though you would likely rely on other transport for daily commuting. The area is well served by other options, but the station itself is not on your doorstep.
