About Witte de Withstraat 12C, Rotterdam
At €295,000, this is the cheapest of the 58 homes currently for sale in Cool. The average asking price in the neighbourhood is €546,233, so this flat is 46% below that. However, it's also smaller than average (51 m² vs 101 m²) and has an energy label F. Given the compact size and low energy rating, the price is in line with what you'd expect for a starter home in the centre.
The energy label is F, which is poor. In the neighbourhood, 38.5% of homes have label A or A+, and only 3.8% have label D or lower. An F label means the home is not well insulated and heating costs will be high. You should budget for significant energy bills.
Cool is a very urban, central neighbourhood in Rotterdam. It's densely populated with mostly young singles. Residents give it a 6.25 out of 10 based on four reviews. One resident says it's "Cool", while another mentions vagrants but notes police respond quickly. The area has a high crime rate (3,624 total crimes), so it's not the quietest, but it's lively and central.
A SPAR supermarket is 75 metres away, and an Albert Heijn is 190 metres away, both within a couple of minutes' walk. There are two primary schools within 235 metres: Openbare Basisschool Het Landje and Rotterdamse Schoolvereniging. Secondary education is also close, with Havo/vwo voor Muziek en Dans at 826 metres.
The nearest train station is 1.0 km away, which is about a ten-minute walk. That's convenient for commuting or exploring the rest of the Netherlands.
At 51 m² and €295,000, it's a compact and affordable entry into Rotterdam's centre. The low price reflects the small size and poor energy label, but for a single person or couple wanting to live in a vibrant area, it could be a practical start. Just be prepared for higher energy costs.
