About Witte de Withstraat 10A, Rotterdam
The asking price of €350,000 is 36% below the average asking price in Cool (€546,233). However, the apartment is also smaller than average (58 m² vs 101 m²). Given the compact size and energy label D, the price is in line with what you'd expect for a starter apartment in this central location.
The energy label is D. In Cool, most homes for sale have a better label (38.5% have A+ and another 38.5% have A). Label D means the home is less energy-efficient, so you can expect higher heating bills compared to a more modern property.
The nearest supermarket is a SPAR at 82 metres, just around the corner. An Albert Heijn is 194 metres away, and an AH to go is 229 metres. For daily groceries, you won't have to walk far.
There are several primary schools within walking distance. Openbare Basisschool Het Landje is 223 metres away, and Rotterdamse Schoolvereniging is 237 metres. For secondary education, Havo/vwo voor Muziek en Dans is 830 metres away.
