Cool, Rotterdam
NeighbourhoodThis apartment on Witte de Withstraat sits right in the thick of Rotterdam's cultural heart. At 83 m² it's a comfortable size for a city pied-à-terre or a couple's first home.

For context, the supply of apartments in Rotterdam varies widely, but this one undercuts the local median.

It's a vibrant, urban place with all the energy, and some of the friction, that brings. For more on the area, see the Cool neighbourhood.
