About Willaertpad 2, Rotterdam
The asking price of €485,000 is well below the neighbourhood average of €960,764, but the apartment is also smaller than average (93 m² vs 151 m²). The price per square metre works out to about €5,215, which is lower than the neighbourhood average of €6,385 per m². So it is priced keenly for the area, though the energy label D and the 1958 construction year are factors to consider.
